Wanngardi Caravan Park is a small, quiet bush park on Ilparpa Road, about 15 minutes southwest of Alice Springs in White Gums. The defining detail for dog owners: it is strictly BYO caravan or tent - there are no cabins or on-site vans - and pets are permitted on powered and unpowered sites at manager's discretion.
The pet policy. Dogs are allowed on caravan and tent sites only. They must be kept on a leash at all times around the park and cannot be left unattended. Owners must pick up after their pets. Because the park has no indoor accommodation, pets cannot be housed in non-camping facilities. Specific pet fees were not confirmed in the source material, so enquire directly before booking.
The place. A peaceful bush setting with views of the MacDonnell Ranges, geared toward self-sufficient travellers. Bore water is available at all powered sites, and the amenities block offers large individual shower and toilet rooms with hot showers. There is a camp kitchen and fire pits. Campfires are permitted when no fire bans are in place, and firewood is available for $20 cash.
Location and nearby. Local walking trails and quiet roads surround the park, but keep dogs leashed at all times - wildlife and livestock are present in the area. Conlon's Lagoon and Roe Creek are nearby natural features. A short drive back into Alice Springs opens up pet-friendly options: Page 27 Cafe, Ross Park Dog Park, and Gillen Dog Park.
