Location of the Ormiston
Gorge carpark. Nearby Ormiston
Gorge campsite offers hot showers, gas bbqs and burners, clean flush
toilets etc. Popular spot for day visitors and also suitable camping for numerous nights with excellent walks in the area.
Try the
Ghost Gum Walk for an hour or two and maybe spot a
rock wallaby on the cliffs. Or take a hike through
the gorge and Pound for a full day. Easy to spend 3 or 4 nights here and it's only a 15 min drive to the pub at
Glen Helen.
The park has a number of signposted walks ranging from a short, 100 metre blindfold sensory walk (a unique way of experiencing
the desert) near the
Information Centre to a three day walk to
Mount Giles. Perhaps the most popular, and most practical, walk is the 1-2 hour
Ghost Gum Walk (so named because of the single
Ghost Gum which stands like a sentinel above
the gorge) which traverses
the gorge and passes the near-
permanent waterhole at the southern end of Ormiston
Gorge.
