Road access to the Gardens of Stone State Conservation Area has now been largely reconstructed from a previously ruinous state. 

You can visit the reserve by car, but it's easy to get into trouble on the reserve’s myriad of access roads. The visitor facilities for this new reserve are a work in progress, with the Lost City and Broad Swamp short (6km) walks completed. Now a 17.5km full day walk from Broad Swamp to Birds Rock has been completed. It requires a car shuffle to Birds Rock Lookout carpark and that means driving Sunnyside Road which is rough and can have big muddy pools on the road (i.e. you need a car with ground clearance). 

There are scheduled walks in the the Gardens of Stone provided by volunteer bushwalking leaders. These trips are posted on the National Parks Association and the Blue Mountains Conservation Society websites, but numbers are limited.
