Dalhouse Springs is an enormous natural spring-fed
billabong at 38 degrees in natural surrounds. It is a carefully managed area that allows tourism, with minimal impact. Day visitors may enter from the western edge of
the Desert, however a Day Pass from the
Ranger located onsite will be required if camping as
the springs are located within the Witjira National Park. Note - those travellers doing a desert crossing will be covered for camping here within the full Desert Parks Pass.
This is a place where modern travellers can experience the same simple joys of bathing in a desert
pool just like the early
explorers, including Ernest Giles, who passed through here in the 1870's before the artesian basin had been extensively tapped by pastoralists.
The springs area is a very popular spot (busy), particularly with those venturing in from the
Simpson Desert passing through Pedirka and Mt Dare. The
camping area is only a short walk from
the springs. Beware of mozzies.

Dalhousie Springs Campground.
