west macdonnell ranges

Gday,
Boggy Hole is a good drive and nice camping in between Alice and the Canyon. What way are you heading and how many nights are you looking at camping for.
Do a search and I think youll find what your looking for.
Cheers

Gday,
You wont have any trouble getting through Boggy Hole ( unless the Finke is flowing), Its just a dry river bed most of they way, so drop your tyre pressues if you need to.

There is good camping at most of the gorges Ormiston, RedBank etc etc

Personally I prefer the bush camping available near Glen Helen, in the Finke R access 300m West Glen Helen turnoff, track in via Nth side of road East bank, reasonably signposted. Close enough to set up camp, get to Glen Helen for an Ale or 10, while listening to Tim Rickards on guitar that night Wed->Sun nights. Good distance from Alice to do sight seeing along the way and then next day whatever do Redbank, Roma Gorge and for me a must Tnorrla, Gosses Bluff.

Get back to Mereenie loop head E for @70k camp at Palm V, then head to Boggey Hole.

For me I would choose Nth side of the W Macs way over Sth side, ie Hermannsburg, Palm Vally. If you can do both go for it.

Regards,

Palm Valley is one of the better spots... you may need a little bit of grond clearance to get out there... but a soft-roader is fine.

It's good to see it in the morning before all the crew come out from Alice too

Cheers, Will.

Hi grunter

This question was asked a few weeks ago - have a search. I suggested Serpentine Lodge/Chalet - it's a great camping ground with 4x4 only for the last kilometer or so. Plenty of places to bush camp but no facilities. You can walk to the site of the Chalet and past that to the dam that was built to ensure a reliable water supply. We climbed a hill to get a great view of the surrounding country too. Cost: zilch!

Happy days

Hi again

We had a fantastic camp for 3 nights at "2 mile" on the river opposite Glen Helen. The track in is about 50m west of the Glen Helen turn-off. We checked out the sites at Redbank as well, but for us it just didn't compare. Check out the photo in my gallery.
