Alice Springs Campervan Touring

Explore the rugged beauty of the Outback at your own pace, as you traverse the iconic landscapes and immerse yourself in the rich indigenous culture of the region. With the freedom of a campervan hire from Alice Springs, you'll have the flexibility to choose your destinations and linger in the most breathtaking spots. From the awe-inspiring Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park to the stunning Kings Canyon, every day promises new horizons and extraordinary encounters.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

Within the captivating expanse of the Alice Springs Campervan Touring experience lies the majestic Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, a place of profound cultural significance and natural wonder. Home to two of Australia's most iconic rock formations – Uluru and Kata Tjuta (also known as the Olgas) – this park is a testament to the ancient stories woven into the landscape by the Anangu people, the traditional owners of the land. As the sun casts its ever-changing hues upon the imposing monolith of Uluru, you'll witness a mesmerizing display of colours that evoke a sense of spirituality and connection to the land. Strolling along the base of Uluru, you'll encounter ancient rock art and hear tales passed down through generations. Nearby, the unique formations of Kata Tjuta offer a surreal labyrinth to explore, with trails that wind through domes and gorges, revealing hidden treasures around every corner. The profound energy of this land is palpable, leaving an indelible mark on all who venture here. And as the day draws to a close, the night sky over Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park reveals a celestial symphony of stars, reminding us of the eternal beauty that resides in both the earth and the cosmos.

Macdonnell Ranges

The majority of people who hire a campervan in Alice Springs, head south to Uluru, but a closer and just as rewarding excursion is a tour of the West Macdonnell Ranges.

Known for its red-walled gorges and deep swimming holes, a round trip taking in all of the main attractions in the ranges is only 300 kilometres long, but there is so much to see and do, that you could take as long as you like on the trip and still be kept busy.

The first attraction you reach is Simpsons Gap, a natural waterhole surrounded by cliffs and ghost gums that is just a taste of things to come. Enjoy watching the black-footed rock wallabies bound amongst the rocks, and make use of the picnic facilities on offer.

Head on to Standley Chasm, a narrow rock cleft that rises to over eighty metres. Try and time your visit for midday, when the overhead sun reflects off the high walls in an array of orange and red colours. Just down the road from Standley is the Ellery Creek Big Hole, which has a reputation for being the coldest pool in the region! It’s as beautiful as it is cold however, and because it is a permanent pool it supports a large amount of flora and fauna, so you are bound to see lots of wildlife here and some impressive vegetation.

More gorges await your exploration, including the Ormiston Gorge and Pound, and your penultimate destination of Glen Helen Gorge. Here there are camping sites and motel-like facilities, so park your campervan for a few days and base yourself to explore.
