Arckaringa Station

Arckaringa is close to the Painted Desert

They aslo have some cabin accommodation
Telephone 08 86707992

Hot showers out in the boondocks !! Thats 5 star to me..he,he..

When we were there last year, there was a young couple managing the station.

Basic camping area but as already mentioned, they have shower/toilet facilities.

There is a fire pit adjacent to the camping area and plenty of firewood nearby. The managers will probably join you for a mag around the campfire and they also have a very friendly dog.

Beware of the cat however. It will steal your BBQ meat given half a chance.

Arckaringa Station is a great place to base yourselves, as the best viewing for the Painted Desert is either sunup, or sundown and it's only a short drive to the two lookout points from the Station.

2 years ago now but a fantastic experience. We called in and stayed for 2 nights. Nothing special, except the location, the ambience, the stars and so on.

Great place to camp up.

Managers are a really nice young couple, good old fashioned country hospitality.
