Travelling down the Stuart highway mostly flat and desert, the tour guide turns off and out of nowhere the mounds appear. Read the web site for more info - - > http://www.parksandwildlife.nt.gov.au/parks/find/devilsmarbles#.VMnM_S7BYnkThe rocks are randomly everywhere and against a blue sky create amazing photo's. worth a look to check out.

What a fantastic place to see. Such a surreal and interesting vibe, and the stories make for an enchanting visit, especially at dusk. Not much to say about it - large round boulders all roughly the same size covering a 50km square area, that looks crazy. A lot of the 'marbles' are hollow too!

We luckily past it at sunset time, which gives the rocks nice colors but I must confess that after Uluru, Olgas, Kings Canyon... you get a bit sick of seing red rocks.

This is the perfect overnight stop in between Alice Springs and Katherine (we were advised not to stay at Tennant Creek and we’re glad we didn’t). This is bush camping at its best – simple, unpowered sites with fire places and pit toilets. No water or firewood supplied. Generators not permitted. Keep in mind it’s dirt, hot, and flies/dingoes are present! It’s a must do to see the sun set on the marbles – very pretty indeed! Only $6.60/night

Stay overnight, that way you can catch both the sunset and sunrise on the marbles. Both times of the day offer some great photo opportunities. Camp fees apply here because it is a national park. Approx $7 pp p.n.

This is a must stop for both sunset and sunrise. It is almost mystical and spiritual as it was very quiet and beautiful

just visit shortly after sunrise or just before sunset...much better in these hours. take at least an hour to walk around them. fantastic.

Not far off the main road and definitely worth the turn off. How the marbles happened is a mystery to me. Access is good for 2wd vehicles. No facilities available

Well worth a visit. We stayed overnight. Get there early as the site fills up. Small camping fee. The ranger came and tidied up the campsite. The "marbles" themselves are fascinating.

Such an amazing place that is very accessible. We camped one night and kids were fascinated by a Dingo that was sleeping in the shade of the information hut. The Dingo stayed until the campground became quite busy. He then returned the next morning. Kids burned off energy climbing all over the rocks so slept well. Cost was $7.70 for a family. Toilets (pit) are a bit smelly. The toilet further away was the better one as used less. Very popular place for backpackers.

Just a very short distance from the main highway, and well worth a visit. They even have camp sites here.

You're on the only road around. You literally drive right past the things. Do yourself a favor and pull in for a look. We got there at sunset and the pics we took were great. Camped the night for a small 'honesty box' fee of $5 or so and woke to a pretty impressive view. Some of the formations defy logic. Only downside were the flies. Bang on sunrise they were out in droves.

Interesting and incredibly photogenic boulders in a field of low grass. Easy to walk around or scramble over. Some nice native trees and wildflowersTake your own everything camping with drop toilets. No water available. So BYOPlenty of room in this inexpensive and popular campground. Fire grates provided, so load up with wood well before the turn off to the park Ants were a bit annoying when they got into the swags though.

Both sunrise and sunset are beautiful, get your camera ready for some great photos. There are some walks as well.

You can see the Marbles from the highway but it is worthwhile spending the night in the camping area so you have plenty of time to explore and take lots of photos. The light on the rocks at sunset and sunrise is breathtaking. The camp ground is clean and well maintained, there is a nominal fee of $3.30 per person per night, camp fires are allowed.
