Facilities

Amenities are a mixed bag – some are new and some show their age. The newer shower and laundry block is excellent, with clean facilities that are a welcome sight after long days on rough roads. Pro tip: use the showers next to the laundry block as they’re the newest and cleanest.

The camp kitchen provides a decent space to prepare meals, though it’s seen better days. Water is available from taps around the site for filling bottles and jerry cans, with desalinated water available out the front. Tank water can be filled at the shared tap on the back fence.

The Roadhouse Experience

The Pink Roadhouse itself is part of the experience. It’s weathered but functional, stocking fuel, groceries, and a good range of essentials. The general store covers most needs with dry goods, some fresh produce, frozen meat, and the usual tourist souvenirs. Coffee is decent, and the food menu includes solid pub meals like parmas and the local Oodna Burger.

Staff are helpful and knowledgeable about local tracks and conditions – worth having a chat if you’re planning to explore further. Joe in particular is a wealth of information about surrounding tracks and points of interest.
