John Hayes Rockhole Campground – Trephina Gorge Nature Park (CG)

John Hayes Rockhole Campground is one of the four camp sites inside Trephina Gorge Nature Park. John Hayes Rockhole is a popular swimming location during warmer months. However during prolonged dry periods the waterholes at Trephina Gorge and John Hayes Rockhole can evaporate, leaving only a sandy creekbed. The Park in the East MacDonnell Ranges is noted for its sheer quartzite cliffs and River Red Gum lined watercourses.

SITE ACCESS
Situated 85km east of Alice Springs, the Park is accessible to all vehicles.
Access is via the sealed Ross Highway, then a 9km drive into Trephina Gorge, the last 5km on a gravel road. The John Hayes Rockhole track within the Park is recommended for 4WD vehicles only.
