We were charged $18 per person to camp on the front lawn of the Ross River Resort. Only two other places in our travels (King's Creek Station and Yulara Campground) have dared to charged as much, and in addition to being right near iconic tourist attractions (Ross River is not) they also provided: -Cooking facilities -Refrigerators -Washing-up facilities -Laundry facilities...

We had to pay $18 each to camp on the front lawn of this establishment. This is a shocking price considering that the usual price in the outback is $7 per person for many more facilities. Although Ross River claims to have camping facilities, we were only allowed access to the toilet block in the homestead which was very dirty... More

We had a terrific two day break. The hospitality was excellent, management and staff could not have been more helpful or friendly, even taking us to see sunrise over the Range. We treated it as homestead stay rather than resort and really enjoyed ourselves. The cabins are basic and showing their age, but are comfortable and reflect the era in... More

Accommodation $20 more than what was quoted. Staff were disinterested. Dinner was put in front of you, no choice straight from the freezer. The accommodation (resort - must be joking) was old, had holes in the floor and walls to let the mice in. Couldn't sleep all night because of the mice running around - two were actually in the...

If this is Australian hospitality....The drive out was beautiful, but one we arrived, the staff were rude and unfriendly. We immediately just turned around and left. If you come to the Red Centre of Australia, stay clear of this place. Spend your hard earned money anywhere else. I would never recommend this place to anyone. More

This "holiday resort" is in limbo. Falling into disrepair as nobody seems to know whether they are going to shut or revamp the area. Staff friendly, the few that are left that is, but the whole "resort" is gettig old. More
