Devils Marbles is about 100 klms South of TC, there's also
The Pebbles which is about 13 klm North of TC. haven't stayed at
The Pebbles myself to comment on, but
Devils Marbles is quite a nice spot to stop at for the night.
cheers.

From my point of view the further away from Tennant Ck the better.
Two
places I avoid. Tennant Ck and Moree.

G'day Rockape
Never been to Moree but as
Tennant Creek and
Wilcannia are 2 of my favourite destinations I guess I had better visit the place ! I'm always looking for new and exciting
places to go !!
Cheers

johno,
Last time we went through there we stayed the Devils Pebbles (not to be confused with the
Devils Marbles)
They are north of TC and of the Three Ways and are on the western side of the highway. From memory you drive about 5k in off the highway.
Cheers,
Cruiser

Hi Johno,
When we were in TC in 2008 we camped at a place called
the Pebbles which is just north of TC. The place was very clean,
toilets and no
sign of any vandalism. There are not that many campsites and there were 5 other campers there as
well.

The Pebbles is an Aboriginal Women's cultural site. Being some kilometres from the highway it would be quiet and private camping. I note that
toilets are mentioned in this thread and in camps 5, although i did not recall seeing them there. We visited
the Pebbles but did not stay, as we had caught up on civilisation with a night at the
Tennant Creek Outback CP after a few weeks of
bush camping.

The Pebbles, is a
great camp. It is managed by a local indigineous group
It has drop
toilets and they were quite clean.
We stopped there for just the one night in July 2010 and it was magic.
There were only two other campers.
