Ross River Tourist Camp - NT

This is the caravan and camping area associated with the Ross River Resort. It is located a short distance from the old homestead that forms the core of the main resort area and accessed either via the homestead or directly from Binns Track.The area is quite extensive, with an area of powered sites for vans and tents and a much greater area for informal camping. New amenities block with flushing toilets and hot high pressure water. There are covered picnic areas, a block of accommodation units and a quite modern conference centre, complete with commercial kitchen.Part of the area is "decorated" with relics of old trucks and shrubs have been planted to supplement some tree coverage. The area is located near the foot of a rocky range with the gap through which Binns Track runs to the south, as a backdrop. It is quite a pretty site. About 1 km to the North of the entrance to the camp grounds Binns Track intersects with the Ross River Highway. This approach entails a crossing of Ross River, which can be a water crossing after rain.Optus is available but not Telstra. No dump point.A great base to explore all the sights and walks in the East McDonnell Ranges.
