Our backyard campsite is only 9 km from the centre of Alice Springs. Its located in a rural/urban setting. Alice Springs is as famous for the personality of its locals and contemporary and traditional art as the natural wonders, including the stunning Larapinta Trail and the MacDonnell Ranges, which surround it. The Swag Inn camping spot has access to an outdoor shower and toilet and laundry sink. Enjoy the view of the ranges and the amazing stars in the desert night sky from your campsite. Listen to the bird calls and enjoy the peace. Campers are welcome to enjoy the BBQ Firepit and firewood, within local restrictions. Around town, there are numerous sites of historical significance to the region’s settler history, including the Old Telegraph Station Reserve, which marks the town’s important role as the mid-point of the 19th-century telegraph line running from Adelaide to Darwin. There are great places to eat and drink, with great views.The Swag Inn camping spot has access to an outdoor shower and toilet as well as a camp kitchen with a sink.

We loved our very brief trip to Swag Inn! Wish we could have stayed longer but it’s the perfect spot to explore Alice from. All the amenities are really well maintained and the site feels very secure, highly recommend. We also booked every last minute and Kathy was very responsive and helpful.

Kathy’s place was fantastic!! Not only were the facilities meticulous clean, the metal sculptures and clever repurposing of scrap metal and mechanical artefacts made it this place a must see work of art.

Wow what a find
Great location, excellent amenities and fantastic hosts. We especially appreciated the insights Kathy and Ashley shared of their local area and community which inspired us to explore Alice Springs more than we originally intended.
