Ormiston Gorge Campsite is basic with no hook-ups, and the facilities are a bit “meh,” but I was pleasantly surprised by the warm showers and warm water for washing up. Good BBQ area, and it’s only a short walk to the gorge itself for a swim. Water levels were low during our visit, but we still had a fun time. I’ve seen better campgrounds, but this was a solid stay.

A beautiful place. Our only complaint was the smell coming from the septic. It was so bad that one lot of campers moved to a site further away. Facilities are basic with 2 toilets (including a disabled) and 1 shower. No rubbish collection but a complicated recycling system with several bins all for different things. The staff were very friendly. The campground is fine for a central base while exploring the Western MacDonnell's and is a lot more affordable than the alternative at Glen Helen.
