Outback Camping Adventure
5 Reviews by TourRadar travelers“We learned a lot about the fauna, the ancestors, and the communities. Great adventure.”
Kathleen, traveled in July
Outback camping beckons at exclusive sites within Watarrka National Park. Two nights in permanent tented camps near Uluru and Kings Canyon complement two nights bush camping in the MacDonnell Ranges. Camp-cooked dinners precede spectacular desert sunrises.

- Outback Camping Adventure (ex Yulara)

- 5 Day Kakadu Katherine Litchfield 4WD Active Adventure (Camping)
The guide,Jay, was excellent the vehicle was comfortable. Some of the accommodation was poor. While it did state shared bathroom 2 toilet cum showers for 10 people to share wasn’t great. Apparently there were upgrades available but that was not an option we were offered. The last night hotel in Darwin was very nice.
What our customers ask about Camping Holidays in Australia
When is the best time to go camping in Australia's outback regions?
For comfortable outback camping in Australia plan your trip between April and October. During these months the weather is mild and predictable especially in popular areas like the Red Centre and Flinders Ranges. At Uluru temperatures hover around 20-25°C during the day making exploration pleasant. "Between June and August nighttime temperatures can drop below zero so make sure to bring appropriate sleeping gear for a comfortable sleep." These cooler months provide reliable conditions for outdoor activities and stargazing.
What wildlife might I encounter while camping in Australia?
Australia's outback offers regular wildlife sightings particularly during the quiet hours of dawn and dusk. The West MacDonnell Ranges are known for their rock wallabies dingoes and varied bird species. "At Ormiston Gorge we saw yellow-footed rock wallabies and at dawn near Uluru we encountered kangaroos and various desert birds." While most Australian wildlife keeps its distance visitors should maintain respectful spacing for safety.
How are meals handled during Australian camping tours?
Food service varies by tour with meals prepared by guides or through group participation at campsites. The 8-Day Adelaide to Uluru Tour includes 7 breakfasts 4 lunches and 4 dinners. "The food was amazing - our guide prepared fantastic meals even in remote locations like Karijini National Park and we had great barbecues under the stars at Ayers Rock Resort Campground." Tours can accommodate dietary restrictions with advance notice.
How physically demanding are camping tours in Australia?
Physical requirements depend on the tour but most need moderate fitness. Daily walks range from 2-6 kilometers including notable treks like the Kings Canyon Rim Walk (6km) and Valley of the Winds Walk at Kata Tjuta. "The hiking was manageable with regular breaks and our guide at Karijini National Park always ensured everyone was comfortable with the pace." Some walks require carrying up to 3 liters of water.
What cultural experiences are included in Australian camping tours?
Tours connect visitors with Aboriginal culture through guided walks rock art visits and traditional owner insights. Programs at Uluru focus on Anangu culture while Kimberley tours often visit Aboriginal heritage sites. "Our guide shared incredible knowledge about the Aboriginal culture and dreamtime stories making the experience much more meaningful."
