NT - Alice Springs

Alice Springs has several caravan parks and during our month in this area we have stayed at four of them. They are all within a few hundred metres of each other on the southern end of the city.

The Big 4 Macdonnell Range Holiday Park
Palm Place, Alice Springs, NT

This has the best facilities with three pools, jumping pillows and big play ground for the children and shady sites with concrete slabs for caravans. As like most Big 4’s it was a little more expensive at $37.00 per night. All the amenities were lovely and clean and the usual high standard. There are also many cabins.

This is a resort as well as camping ground. The rates are very reasonable at $27.00 for a powered site and with our discount it was only $21.00 which is always a bonus. The pool area is lovely and there is a small children's play ground. There was shade and patches of grass here and there. Our only negative comment was that while we were there, each night two bus loads of teenagers arrived and disturbed the quiet. Some of the teachers did a great job controlling the kids and other teachers didn’t seem to care and let them run riot.


Alice Springs Heritage Caravan and Tourist Park
Ragonesi Rd, Alice Springs,NT.

We chose this park because we are heading home for a month and this place has a very good storage rate.
The amenities block is lovely and clean and the pool is beautiful. The biggest of all the local parks. The shop here is the caravan spare parts depot. During the winter months a resident caravan repair man works from this park.
There are no concrete blocks for caravans, a few sites with a little grass and most of the area is just dirt underfoot.

G-Day Mate
Palm Place, Alice Springs, NT

This is a smaller park in the same area as the other three. It has a lot of grass sites, a small pool and modern and clean amenities block. There is a restaurant beside it which has great pizzas.
