Is it advisable/possible to take an off-road camper trailer into Chamber's Pillar via Maryvale? If not, is there anywhere secure to leave the trailer? We are heading up that way in September. Has anyone been to Mt Dare recently to stay? What did you think of it??

Riki and Paul

I don't think you will have any trouble with an offroad trailer into Chambers Pillar. You only have one sandy creek crossing and the dunes near the pillar will pose no problem (providing you are towing it with a 4WD)

Riki & Paul, we took a dingo on road trailer into chambers pillar on a trip june 2001. we had no problem at all getting in to the pillar. the only problem was the marked out camp sites (bordered by treated pine posts) as they are a bit small to set up some of the larger camper trailers. all in all a great place to visit & I highly recommend a visit.
as for mount dare I hear there are new managers and from reports so far they seem quite good. we may see you as we are planning a simpson desert trip in september and will be passing through mt dare on our way to andado. have a safe trip

Riki and Paul yes you will not have any problems getting in there with a trailer. But as mentioned before the place is more set up for tents or swags. We had to disconect the car from the trailer as we would not fit in the parking bay.You need to be early to get a good bay as there is not many.Maryvale is an experience. very rough.
cheers Glen

We were there about a month ago. The last 40k's were rough!! However there were plenty of trailers in at the pillar. We talked with some people who had an offroad van and they left it at the creek crossing . the last van had got bogged in the crosssing. We call in at the station and the people were quite freindly. It is certainly worth the trip. The road out from AS was very sandy and there had been one or two rollovers in the previous week. Check when you get to AS or MT Dare.
