Australia So Much to See
Northern Territory
On the outskirts of Tennant Creek and 800 metres from the Highway along
Well laid out park with mostly long and roomy level drive
through sites set out in herring bone layout. Concrete annex slabs to some sites. Power and water close by. Most sites have
some shade.
Two amenities blocks. One has outdoor barbecue and sink adjacent. The other small newer block has camp kitchen on
verandah with seating, fridges, coin gas barbecues and sink. Shower curtains to dressing area. Water pressure was good, but with solar
hot water systems, showers were cold by morning. Conditions of the old amenities was reasonable but renovations and a good spring
clean would improve the park. Basic laundry.
Pool and spa. Dump point. Around 20 cabins appear to be used for mining worker accommodation.
Bar and outdoor 'happy hour' area. Shop sells fuel. Entertainment night - extra charge.
Tourist information: Mining history. Visit the Battery Hill Mining Centre.
Pros: Most sites roomy and very long drive through sites in herring bone layout. Quiet
location - well away from highway.
Cons: Not enough washing machines. Old block needed a spring clean. Checkout 9.30 am. Solar powered
hot water cold in the morning.
$28 for two per night powered
