132 klms west of Alice Springs on Namatjira Drive is Glen Helen Resort. There is a lodge as well as a large camp ground. There is no need to book as people tend to only stay here a couple of days while exploring the fantastic surrounding areas.
The campsites have a few trees, and a couple of patches of grass for tents, and the rest is good old red dirt. The toilet block has four shower and toilet units for the camp ground as well as a block of four toilets and three showers for the
bus tours.(We also used these as the park was quite busy while we were there.)There is a pool, a restaurant, nightly entertainment and the Glen Helen Gorge is only a ten minute walk from the Resort. The Gorge is also a beautiful spot to swim but a little chilly.
The resort faces the Ranges which is spectacular at sunrise and again in the evening with the resort lights reflecting on the rock.
The cost is $32.00 per night for a powered site.
