Ellery Creek Big Hole is a campground in Australia's Red Centre, a vast desert landscape of ancient red rock gorges, sacred Aboriginal sites, and some of the most dramatic scenery on Earth. Fall asleep under some of the clearest night skies in Australia, wake to birdsong, and spend your days exploring the surrounding bush. Facilities vary — check ahead for availability and bookings during peak dry season.
