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...

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.

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.

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.

We enjoyed the unique camping experience at Swag Inn, the artwork especially.
Kathy made us feel at home on arrival and we enjoyed having a campfire to sit around.
The option of a cosy camp kitchen was also special.

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.
