Erldunda Desert Oaks Resort

We stayed in the caravan park on power. |It was good. Amenities were huge and clean with great water pressure. |Had a meal in the tavern and my steak was cooked to perfection - also tender and juicy.|Salad was not swimming in dressing and chips lovely and crunchy! |Thank you for a lovely stay||Check in was easy and very friendly. |All the staff were friendly

I had a powered caravan site for a night, which included water, although they advised not to drink it as it’s bore water. Showers were hot, although facilities were cold in the morning (30/6/25). Dinner in the tavern was excellent, if you don’t mind eating kangaroo and bar staff friendly. Breakfast in the shop was the best bacon and egg roll I’ve had in a long time, again, served with a smile, which is a lot at 7:00 AM and 2 degrees. Well done folks, keep it going.

I really liked Erldunda. The park is easy to access, booking in was quick. The amenities were clean and the showers very good. The Viewing Deck was a great way to meet people as they meander up to watch the sunset. The emus and camel are fun for the kids. Family friendly place.

Grab n go food was hot, tasty, convenient and fairly priced. The design of grabbing food then paying to the side went well as the line went by really quickly with two counters running. There were HEAPS of toilets to suit the size of the crowds that were coming through. The emu enclosure was a wonderful little surprise. Very spacious property in terms of petrol station and car parking. Very well run! But also incredibly run down looking.

$36 for an unpowered site for 2 people (1 vehicle) - around standard pricing, however the sheer amount of flies and mosquitoes around the site made it impossible to do anything, and none of the lights worked in the shower/toilet block which meant we had to try and shower in the dark. Lots of mosquitoes in the toilets and showers also. Ended up setting up our tent immediately and taking shelter in it to avoid the insects, and leaving first thing in the morning. There are mosquito/fly headnets for sale in the shop for $10 a pop. Diesel was an absolutely crazy price of $2.88/litre. No gas refills/exchanges available. Pros: WiFi provided, reasonable speed. Campsite backs onto an enclosure with a friendly camel, emu and rooster which is cool to see. Water in showers was hot. There is a sunset viewing platform, however we didn’t get to it because the insects were unbearable. Overall, it served a purpose as a stopover to break up the journey, but we wouldn’t be back in a hurry. If you can make the extra 2.5hr drive to Ayers Rock campsite (or similar, depending on where you’re going), would recommend doing so. Insects nowhere near as bad at our subsequent stop, with far better facilities.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Drinks come out crisp and cold, and food arrives fresh and hot – what more can you ask for? The atmosphere is great, and the staff are super friendly, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping in at Erldunda Desert Oaks Resort!

On the three times we went to the bar, shop etc at night, we were wet by the sprinkler from the pool. We also had to walk through pools of water in that area. Water was pooling on the pathway and could not be seen due to low lighting.|Solutions to be considered: |1. Direct the water away from the path: |Outcomes: Patrons don't get wet, water is not wasted on concrete paths, less water needed to achieve the same outcome for your lawns. No water pooling on the pathway reduces the risk of slips and falls. |2. Pathway lighting: The pathways around the pool area are very dark. Outcomes: Safer for patrons to walk to the bar and shop. Reduces the risk of slips and falls.

We are traveling from Melbourne to Darwin exploring the beauty of Australia. This place is nice, clean, with very helpful and friendly staff. There is a gas station and small grocery shop near by. Emu farm is 20 m away. So recommended.
