Glen Helen, NT

Last time we were there (2Yrs ago) it was pretty basic but it is worth it for the Bluff & gorge when it is lit up at night.

Young,
I reckon its pretty ordinary and bush camp in the vicinity.

It is a place well worth visiting and the pub is good for a cold beer, but the camping facilities are quite poor.
As already mentioned if you are well setup, then just bush camp in the general vicinity or do a day trip out of Alice.

Interesting.
Sounds like the place hasn't changed in regard to the camp site from a few years ago when we were there for one night.
Bit open and dusty at times, but you go there for the gorge, and as a stop for travelling the loop road.

You can camp at Serpentine Chalet not far from Glen Helen.

There are a number of secluded camp spots.

Years ago Ansett Airlines(or was it TAA?) put up a few Chalets(demountables...lol) out there to attract tourists. Those are long gone now but the concrete slabs still remain.

Gday,
$35 a night for 5 people to throw swags on the Lawn next to the bleep house (local rates).
The toilets hadnt been cleaned for months and were literaly covered in spider webs and spiders. Probably the worst condition toilets and showers Ive seen since working on communitues!
There is light at the end of the tunnel though....If you drive a couple 100 metres past the turn off you will come to the Finke river. turn up the track to the right before you cross the river and there is plenty of room to camp. (no amenities but better than bad ones ). Still close enough to drive or walk up to the pub for tea if you want.

Cheers
