I had a fantastic week at the park, enjoying its lively atmosphere and variety of activities. The ensuite site we stayed in was comfortable, but there were some minor issues with the shower facilities initially. The staff were incredibly helpful and organized fun events that brought guests together. The price was fair considering all the amenities and entertainment provided, making it a great value for families and travelers alike.

I had a mixed experience at the park. The facilities were amazing for families, complete with pools and fun activities for the kids. However, I felt unsafe due to incidents we experienced, which made our stay quite stressful. While the staff was accommodating and helpful, I would be cautious about staying here, especially with children.

This holiday park is a hidden gem! The cabins were well-maintained and provided the comfort we needed for our family getaway. While my overall experience was fantastic, I did face a few hiccups with hot water on the first night, and the internet was quite slow. However, the amenities, like the pools and kids' play areas, made our stay enjoyable.

Overall, my stay at the Big4 MacDonnell Range was pleasant and comfortable. The facilities were well-maintained, and the amenities like the pool and BBQ area were great for families. However, my experience was marred by a security incident that left me feeling unsafe during the night. While the park is tidy and has a lot to offer, I would advise caution if you're camping in tents or trailers, especially with children.

I had a fantastic stay at this caravan park during my outback adventure. The facilities were top-notch and really clean, making it worth the higher price. The amenities, like the camp kitchen and pool area, were excellent. However, the location is a bit out of town, so keep that in mind if you want to explore Alice Springs easily.
