Caravan parks near Alice Springs

The largest town in Australia's Red Centre is the quintessential stopover for road-trippers en route to the region's most enigmatic attraction—the gigantic monolith of Uluru or Ayers Rock. Whether you opt to check in to one of the tourist parks or caravan parks in Alice Springs, or park your motorhome at a rustic campground within easy reach of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, outdoor adventures will be right on your (caravan) doorstep. Watch the sunrise over Uluru and The Olgas, ride a camel and follow the Kings Canyon Rim Walk in Watarrka National Park, hike through the Tjoritja West MacDonnell National Park or marvel at the red dunes and vibrant wildflowers of the Simpson Desert. Plan your camping trip for fall through spring (March to November) to avoid the desert's scorching heat (daytime temperatures can reach 40°C in summer), then cosy up in your campervan in the cooler evenings.
