Discovery Parks - Glen Helen is set in the dramatic West MacDonnell National Park 130km west of Alice Springs, beside the towering ramparts of Glen Helen Gorge and a permanent waterhole on the Finke River — one of the world's oldest rivers. Accommodation includes heritage motel rooms, self-contained cabins and powered or unpowered campground sites. Onsite is the Cliffside Cafe and the Namatjira Bar, plus a swimming pool, BBQ pavilions and an onsite helicopter pad. The park is the perfect launching point for the Larapinta Trail, with side trips to Ormiston Gorge, Ellery Creek Big Hole, Standley Chasm and the Hermannsburg Mission.
