Out of Alice and very Peaceful

The Swag Inn at Ross (10 minutes from central Alice) is the best camp we have stayed in. The hosts (Kathy and Ashley) are amazing and extremely helpful with advice on Alice, the West & East McDonnells. Add the hot showers and super clean toilets. Some retro funky outdoor furniture and wood with a terrific communal fire pit. Birds waking you up in the morning in the very peaceful setting. Swag Inn is a terrific central hub to stay at. Great work guys. Keep up the terrific work.

We loved our stay at the Swag Inn, the amenities were fantastic, clean with devine hot showers and sparkling white toilets. Close to town central for resupply and see attractions but out of the burbs in nature for a safe nights rest! The atmosphere was welcoming and the host came to say hello and share her local tips Of things to do in the area.

Fantastic hub to explore

A very well presented and thought-out camp. Kathy and Ash were very helpful and gave us some great guidance on what to see in Alice Springs and the West & East McDonnell ranges. The camp itself has some very interesting / funky areas and an open fire to gather with other campers. Add access to 10A 12V Power, hot showers and clean amenities this is a fantastic place to stay. You feel very safe and the camp is very peaceful. We will be back and thanks again.
