Holiday Parks

Located just 5 minutes from Alice Springs CBD is Discovery Parks – Alice Springs (formerly Big4 MacDonnell Range Holiday Park), a convenient spot to base yourself on your next adventure to the Northern Territory.

Central to many of the NT’s natural wonders and attractions like Kings Canyon (approximately 332km) and Glen Helen (133km), Discovery Parks – Alice Springs provides travellers a home away from home to rest and recharge for the next day.

A wide range of accommodation options are available depending on your budget and needs. From luxurious, self-contained deluxe cabins to budget-friendly rooms, safari tents and sites for caravans and tents, there is something for everyone!

Alice Springs is the perfect place to begin your outback adventure in the NT. Explore and learn the land’s ancient culture and history, take in beautiful and culturally significant artwork by local Aboriginal artists, or join a cultural event or activity such as Parrtjima – the only authentic Aboriginal light festival.

Needing a place to put your feet up and relax? A huge range of facilities are available in-park! Whip up a storm in any of our camp kitchens or cool down in our swimming pools while the kids take on the jumping pillows. Discovery Parks – Alice Springs has plenty to keep every member in the family busy and entertained.

Explore Central Australia and experience the incredible beauty of one of earth’s oldest landscapes.

Discovery Parks – Glen Helen (formerly Glen Helen Lodge) is the only accommodation located within the Tjoritja – West MacDonnell Ranges National Park, just 130km west of Alice Springs.

Immerse yourself in this 800 million years old landscape – home to the Western Aranda Aboriginal people for tens of thousands of years.

Enjoy a haven of outback hospitality with 25 motel rooms and an expansive campground with powered and unpowered sites. Make the most of our facilities, including our restaurant, bar/bistro, swimming pool, fuel, and outdoor terrace overlooking the stunning Glen Helen cliffs.

There is so much to see and do with a range of 4WD tracks, nature and bush walks, and a swim in Glen Helen Gorge is also a must.

Kings Canyon is a natural wonder located approximately halfway between Alice Springs and Uluru – at the heart of Australia’s Red Centre.

Forged over 440 million years from layers of sandstone, shale and rock, the canyon soars 270 metres above sea level, then plummets to the Garden of Eden below where ancient flora and fauna thrive along a permanent line of rock pools.

A literal oasis in the desert, Discovery Kings Canyon is the closest accommodation to Watarrka National Park, where the mighty Kings Canyon is located. Offering a resort-style holiday for intrepid travellers, modern rooms with ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning and private balconies enable guests to enjoy the view in a luxurious setting.

For a camping and caravanning experience you won’t forget, Discovery Parks – Kings Canyon boasts one of the most picturesque campgrounds in Australia. Here you can really get amongst the ancient landscapes in your own caravan or tent and utilise what we believe are the best camping facilities in the Red Centre.

Enjoy uninterrupted views to Kings Canyon and relax in the knowledge that you are never far from a hearty meal from one of our dining outlets, plus all the facilities which make this an oasis of convenience in the middle of an ancient, rugged landscape.

Unique experiences for adults and children are available, with guided hikes and self-guided tours to learn about the local landscape and immerse yourself in the Indigenous culture that has been present here for tens of thousands of years.
