Liked the character of the property. Very eclectic and different.
Swag Inn has all that we needed and more. Toilet, shower with hot water. Clean. Space where you can park. And a big fire pit that we enjoyed.
The place is decoretd with auto parts and it look mavellous.
We were in a 7m motorhome and we had a great time the 2 nights we stayed.

We loved this camp. Warm showers, clean toilets, great fire pit, quiet spot. The quirky and clever metal artwork just added to the character of the place.
Fantastic stay. Only ten minutes out of town, great amenities, lovely people, lovely campfire vibe. We stayed an extra night, wish we could have stayed more.
Close to town but not too close. Great fire. Clean toilets and showers.
Kathy was extremely accomodating and generous. We would recommend Swag Inn to anyone looking for a place to camp in Alice!! Just out of town, lovely birdsong in the morning, and we appreciated a nice hot shower in the semi-outdoor bathroom. Couldn’t recommend this location more.
This is a little gem on the outskirts of Alice Springs. Only 9 kilometers from the town centre.
Facilities are fantastic, great showers and laundry facilities with a donation. Even detergent supplied. Amazing communal fire pit with quirky surrounds. Plenty of room to choose in the camping area. We had 22 foot caravan which we had no problems getting in.
Kathy and Ashley were very friendly and hospitable. We would have no hesitation in staying at Swag inn again.

Probably one of the most beautiful HipCamps we have stayed at on our trip. The country setting was so peaceful and clean.
The ammenities were fantastic with country style shower and toilet were a pleasure to use.

This cozy, private, quiet site with beautiful escarpment views but quite close to town is a perfect way to avoid the crowds when you’re staying in Alice Springs. Kathy is a wonderful host. The facilities are funky and well designed. Highly recommended.

Kathy will make sure you have everything for your stay. The place is a Finke Race museum on its own, amazing job!
Plenty of space, quiet and there is all you need for the night. 👍
We cancelled our booking to G'day park and rebooked The Swag Inn for our night back to Alice Springs...
We loved our stay at swag inn. Close enough to town but away from suburbia. Hosts gave great tips for places to explore. An eclectic and peaceful place to stay. Great facilities. Would recommend.

What a great spot to stop in Alice. After being out in the dust (which we love) over the few months it's always get to find a spot with a bit of shade, great facilities (esp good hot water!!) and a friendly host. The Swag Inn ticked all the boxes so we opted to stay and extra night.
Very pleasant site. All amenities are present. The universe into which our hosts invite us is incredibly well done. Thank you for the stay!

My first time using Hipcamp and my experience here set the bar high. An excellent camp ground with running water, toilet facilities and a 15 amp powered site.
As I arrived, Kathy started the campfire and ensured that my stay was pleasant. Ash’s creative artwork/decor gives a rustic yet modern feeling. They knew the NT very well and assisted me with my itinerary.
I now have a positive outlook on Alice Springs due to camping here.
Lovely well planned area with lots of rustic art work from tables chairs to fences made from repurposing metal car parts farm equipment etc
Kathy was very welcoming explaining the area and answered any concerns
We had use of their great fire pit and wood.
The shower was fantastic Very clean
Would recommend and stay again

What an absolutely awesome campsite!
Only 10 mins from town, tucked away behind the main residence, the camp area is quiet and charming.
Kathy and Ashley have made a gorgeous quirky area with old metal and wood. The firepit is great!
The amenities are amazing, great hot water.
Would thoroughly recommend.
