Camper Enjoying Campfire
A chorus of birdsong wakes you at dawn. Fried eggs on the Trangia cooker. A morning dip in a local pond... Camping is a great way of going back to basic, and is probably the cheapest way to holiday

    Camp n Drive

    Posted by Lester 13 September 2009

    The best way of seeing the desert around Alice Springs is by self-drive and bush-camping.
    Camp n Drive in Alice hires out 4WD with all the equipment you need for camping.

    We had no equipment of our own. Hired the car from Camp n Drive and drove out to Ruby Gap in the East McDonnell ranges. There was no one around. We set up camp by a ghost gum tree, lit a campfire, rolled our swag on the earth and spent a wonderful night in the desert under countless stars.

    Camp n Drive is situated in Alice -48 Gap Road, Alice Springs, NT. 0870, Australia, 08 89520099. www.alicecampndrive.com/index.html
    Ruby Gap is in the eastern MacDonnell ranges - easy to find. Follow the Ross highway from Alice, follow the signs to Arltunga and you will see signs for Ruby Gap. It's a 4WD road only after the Ross Highway.
