Curtin Springs Station

cattle station which includes roadhouse,pub and dining area which they try and use there own grown on site beef. we arrived here to use there free campsite area after having my bank account scammed at Uluru. staff are standard Territory folk, happy and helpful cattle station folk. some believe this temperament to be unfriendly,it's not. Price for powered site may seem expensive but try getting these rates during peak season at Uluru! They have to charge extra for water to cover their expenses asthey pay for every drop. They use bore water on the gardens here and can tell they try to accommodate all travellers. Approx an hours drive from Uluru. Thankyou for providing free campsites here where the corporate companies charge so much and give nothing back to the local community. safe secure

I have visited Curtin Springs Station twice now in the past few years for work purposes. Lyndee, Ashlee and their staff have been incredibly hospitable, welcoming and generous to us on both occasions. Curtin Springs is a fantastic road-side stop or overnight stay on route to/from Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. They offer camping as well as basic, but cool, comfortable, clean and tidy rooms. Landscape is beautiful with abundant vegetation, red dunes and stunning sunsets. Would visit again/will visit again. Highly recommend.

A bit expensive for container cabin around $300 per night but great Ululu rock view from there. Restaurant is expensive and public toilets smell is strong. Staff are friendly. Didn't know no fly zone for drones. Owner need to put more signs for guests awareness.

They offer a free camp site and it works perfectly. It has the toilets available and the showers for 4 dollars. Just remember you need a key for the shower so need to arrive before they close. The people were so nice. It needs a little update but considering you can camp for free I think it works and it’s just there from Uluru.

Very convenient location between Uluṟu and Kings Canyon. We had a family unit - outside was shabby but looked to have been refurbished inside. Two bedrooms- one at either end of unit and good lounge area in between. No wifi or t.v. Spacious - refurbished bathroom. Drawbacks - chicken coop too close with crowing roosters before dawn. Meals - adequate- not much choice. Breakfast nearly all options have eggs - we asked for scrambled but chef would only do fried! How bizarre- whisk some eggs with a bit of milk and seasoning and cook it on the hot plate. I would’ve been happy to do it. Shows they are not interested in customer service. We stayed there a few months ago and had scrambled eggs. Feel like we are an annoyance- to be endured. They were happy to take $390 for one night stay, however!

Stayed here for 3 nights on a powered site, absolutely disgusting for $60 p/n and no water, $5.00 for a shower and $10 to fill one tank in the caravan, the meal we had was disgusting, a lump of meat like leather with a few soggy chips, the toilets were also the worst i have ever seen, the smell was overpowering , ( and that’s in winter time) Sorry Curtin springs but you need to lift your game. And no I wouldn’t recommend or ever stay there again.

We stayed at this accomodation as our camper had broken down in Coober Pedy All other options near Uluru were full. All I can say is that if you have a choice, drive past and don't look back! I guess if you use the free camp option, things might be different but the accommodation is dirty, dated overpriced. We paid over $250 per night. The staff are extremely unfriendly and rude. The food was atrocious, I ordered a chilli burger, took one bite and sent it back. My husband ordered a steak which we gave to the dog.....who threw it up that night. We were told we could use the BBQ area to prepare own own meal, which upon inspection was dilapidated and in ruin. The accomodation is not pet friendly, which is fine, but we were told to "tie our dog to a pole and leave it outside for the night". The staff also roam around at night and early morning with torches checking the cars to ensure pets are not indoors. I needed to sign a disclaimer upon checking in to promise we would sleep between the sheets and not under the doona. We had initially booked and paid for 2 nights (over the phone without seeing the place). We went to Uluru the second day. We left our room empty in the morning so as to leave our options open incase we could find a last minute at Uluru. Unfortunately, we were forced to return to curtain springs for our second night. Upon arrival, we found our room had been cleaned and locked up. The staff had assumed we'd left even though we had not checked out or handed the key back. All in all, I grew up on a farm an am used to doing it rough but I was in tears and very distraught after our stay here and I will never, ever go back! Please save yourself the disappointment and distress.

We stayed on an unpowered site, and the best way I can describe it is everything works, it's just needs updating. The site itself was good. It's a desert, you bring your own shade. The toilets flush but the block is rusting out and feels like a strong breeze might blow it down. The shower was hot and the pressure was great but the head was sitting around my chest height (paying for it was fine seeing the site was free). And it they are going to update stuff maybe calling Uluru by it's name in the brochure as well

Good for the bush! Have stayed here several times. Nice cabins clean and comfy. Friendly staff. Only sell instant coffee - shame! No soap in toilets - very bad! Lots of caged birds and emus to see - fun for the kids to look around.
