Description

The main feature of this 340 hectare Reserve is the pillar of sandstone which towers 50 metres above the surrounding plain. The reserve is roughly 160km south of Alice Springs on Old South Road. The road is unsealed and may be closed after rain. After the Maryvale turnoff, a 4WD is required to negotiate the deep sand drifts and steep jump ups. Use extreme caution when driving over single lane sand dunes. It is advisable to have someone check for oncoming traffic or to attach a flag to warn other motorists of your approach. Camping fees apply and must be booked and paid online prior to arrival. Facilities include wood fire pits and pit toilets. Firewood collection is not permitted in the reserve. Fires are only permitted in designated fire pits. Bins are not provided, so take your rubbish with you. Pets and generators are not permitted.
