Likes: Our girls (aged 9) loved feeding the horses & Nigel the water buffalo. My husband & I loved sitting under the awning
enjoying the country air & found the area where the caravan sites were very pretty.
Added Touches: Can do horse trail rides but we found these were not very good value for money (scenery on ride was very dry &
uninteresting) & the some of the horses didn't behave very well. One of our daughters was on a horse that went extremely slow during
most of the ride which meant she was well behind the group & we had to keep stopping for her but when she came to a downhill the horse
would gallop down at high speed!! She wasn't expecting it the first time & nearly came off the horse & the owner didn't give us any
warning of the horse's behaviour beforehand.

Spent 1 day on the way up north and 4 days on the way back. Great for visiting Lichfield National Park. Setting was
fantastic if you like relaxing, abundance of bird life, plenty of shady trees, "park wherever you want and we will see
you some time this evening for your money" $5 per person plus $3 for power, and if you stay a week you pay for 5 nights.
Showers were a bit below par but where will you find a place with bath mats and soap and razors provided and free laundry?
Water is not so good (full of iron deposits) but that will improve we were told. Very friendly staff, staff offered tourist
advice. Price was lower than expected, very good value for money ($13 2A per night).

Likes: We did enjoy our stay here because we met up with some friends & there was hardly any other tourist vans there during
the 3 nights we stayed. We were able to have a camp fire every night & sometimes felt like we had the park to ourselves.
Dislikes: The park is not well maintained anymore & has a run-down feel to it. There were a lot of workers there who stay
permanently & took over the camp kitchen each night so we avoided that area. The general atmosphere of the park wasn't great & if we weren't there with our friends would have only stayed 1-2 nights.

Stayed 1 night. This was our first
"freebie/donation" stopover, and we did not know what to expect. It was getting late so we decided to pull over at Sullivans
Creek (well signposted), which was on dirt, a little off the main highway. On entering the loop-road we found there were 9
caravans and mobile homes squashed in. Caravans that arrived after us had to travel further as there was no space left.
There were more vans here than at some paid parks at which we had stayed. The stop is located near a creek, and travellers
told us that a crocodile had been spotted there, so we kept our distance. There is water there (not drinkable), a long drop
toilet and a wood fireplace. Late in the night campers arrived and under torchlight set up in the grassed area in the middle
of the loop. It was a very dark quiet peaceful night, with very friendly travellers around us. We enjoyed our first "freebie"
stop and this gave us courage to try a few more. Suitable for large rigs, but you have to get there early.

This is a service station with a large area behind and down by the river for a caravan park. Dog friendly. Lots of room to
spread out and the staff work hard to keep the area grassed instead of dust. Lots of shade. Fairly quiet being well off the
road. Swimming pool. Basic amenities but clean and flowers in the ladies. We chose the unpowered site at $10 for 2A, or $20
for power. We enjoyed this park, very relaxed and well-maintained and good value. Would suggest staying here and driving into
Douglas Hot Springs.

A well maintained park with many palm and other trees. Shown to site, then into office to pay. Staff are working hard to keep
dust down and grass growing. Amenities seem to be just coping with visitor numbers. August is European holiday time, so park is
really under pressure, with many campervans coming in every day. The pool area is very nice. There is a restaurant, bar, Internet
centre and booking office for Yellow Waters cruises (a must do). Water pressure needs improving, no sullage. In season, free sausage
sizzle Wednesday nights and free pancakes on Sundays. They had a flood go through earlier in the year. Necessary work after seems to

Amenities basic but clean, 4 blocks spread throughout the park. Camp kitchen, swimming pool. Sites were a good size but the roads
are a little narrow in the busy tourist season, so can make backing a little stressed. Next door to shop, café, newsagent and

abounds in large, shady trees and many sites have 'tropical' garden beds around them. There are four amenities blocks, with
laundries. The large shower cubicles have good quality shower curtains that don't wrap around you when the water is flowing.
Showers have strong pressure. Ceiling fans are going 24hrs a day so, despite the heat in Katherine the amenity blocks are always
a pleasant temperature. Roadways are wide with plenty of manoeuvring room. Pets are welcome in a separate 'dog' section which is
close to the entrance and pool. Pool is fairly small, with a shade cloth over which keeps the water fairly 'refreshing'.
On site are a shop, take-away food outlet and a restaurant. The office wil arrange all tour bookings. Wireless internet through
Nomadnet is available throughout the park ($5 for 1 hour). Staff are friendly and helpful and Katherine Hot Springs are a short
walk (100 yards) from the back gate (locked at night). A coin-in-the-slot Internet kiosk is also available (Not working during our stay).
Suitable for any length of stay.

Suggest you use a caravan park in Katherine and drive into the National Park (About 15 - 20 minutes).

Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is good,
water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, mostly level sites, small sites.
Late checkout allowed (up to noon).
Quiet, claustrophobic park, not enough shade. Suitable for overnighter.
Dislikes: Very small and dusty powered sites - no grass, just dirt. Not really up to scratch for an Icon National Park.
Does not present a quality Australian image to the many international tourist that visit this location. Would be very hot and
uncomfortable during the hot part of the year. Probably much better to have an unpowered site if you are self sufficient power
wise as you can probably find a shady and grassy spot.

This is a very nice park beside the Mary River. Lots of lovely green grass with shady trees. Amenities are demountables, which were very clean. The staff
were very friendly & helpful. Nothing was to much trouble. There is a nice pool although small was clean and pleasant to swim in. There is also a very nice
licensed Restaurant & Bar that serve breakfast, lunch & dinner. Although a pleasant and peaceful park we thought it was a bit overpriced at $30 per night.

This park is on the Roper River, you can choose an unpowered site on the river or higher up for the powered sites
near the amenities. The amenities are centralised and like ensuites with the shower/toilet combined. Buildings were corrugated
iron and basic but clean. We considered the amenities very reasonable for the Territory. What we like most was the 4-minute
walk to Bitter Springs Thermal Pools - just amazing and a natural paradise. Sites were where ever you chose to park, no
regimented sites or roads. Cost was $22 for 2A for power.

No bookings taken as this is a national park. Reception staffed by a series of young people. Our girl was pleasant but slightly
harassed, and did not explain site arrangements clearly. Two sections for vans, one with smallish very organised sites, not all
level. The other is undefined overflow space with randomly placed power poles serving up to 6 vans. Very difficult to park
considerately, while avoiding trees and tall sprinkles. Latecomers very confused and disadvantaged. In this section, water is by
bucket from communal taps. Shower block fairly new. Clean and fresh but drainage flows across floor between cubicles. Solar hot
water ran out about 5pm. Souvenirs, bar, meals, replica of historic Elsey Homestead; live country music entertainment; quite audible
but not unpleasant and didn't go late. At $22 (2A, powered) reasonable value; wouldn't be hurrying back in mid July. Thermal Pools
interesting to experience but unpleasantly crowded. By the position and appearance of resort entrance, the impression is given that
you would have to be staying there to use the pools and undertake the walks. In fact the public has free access to this national park
resource.

Mataranka homestead has no more bat problems. All bats have left the region hopefully for good. The National Parks have installed
a new sprinkler system which moved them on, but I think a change of seasonal conditions had as much to do with it.

with plenty of space around each block. Plenty of grass and trees, generally a very pleasant atmosphere. Toilet block is a demountable and very basic.
The park has a small restaurant serving inexpensive meals. There is a large pond stocked with barramundi which are fed twice a day.

Park is in two sections, both controlled by the Wayside Inn at the western end of the tiny township.
The eastern section is well grassed but had little shade; the western section has huge shady trees but dust instead of grass. We stayed
in the western section so cannot comment on the eastern. Powered sites were mainly in the central area of the park and were poorly designed drive
throughs, quite narrow, and two caravans were expected to park side by side. Other powered sites were against the side fence of the park.
Little or no water to the central sites. Amenities were sub-standard and none too clean, requiring demolition rather than refurbishment.
The small pool was clean, so a swim in that substituted for a shower! The Inn sells basic groceries and take away food - the hamburger was one
of the best I've had in a long while - as well as all fuels including autogas, and naturally has a licensed bar area. At five each evening a
staff member feeds the freshwater crocodiles in Timber Creek behind the park. Max's cruise of the Victoria River runs at 4pm each day - cost
a rather high $80pp - so to do the cruise only an overnight stop is required. Although expectations of roadhouse caravan parks should never
be too high, the standard of this one is pretty low. $20 for 2A on a powered site considered only just reasonable. Suitable for overnight
only.

warped and broken. Shower curtains a disgrace. Dusty gravel sites with big rocks lying around, bashed my toe on one and

When you pay at the Timber Creek Hotel you are given the choice of the Gunami or Wayside Inn parks. They are next to
each other and you can go from one to the other via a gate in the dividing fence. We chose the Wayside Inn, which was open
and all the sites we were well grassed, some with a small concrete annex pad. Sites are of a good size and all, but the
longest, rigs could remain hitched if desired. There was a sparkling pool but the paving surrounding it was a bit rough
on the feet. Also only two plastic chairs were provided. The amenity block was small and just needed a bit of care and
attention for it to be good. The shower I used had a strong flow of hot water but the water spurted out at all angles,
including horizontally. The toilet paper was a good quality product that you can buy in any supermarket. The men's was
cleaned the day we were there but the Ladies didn't appear to have been. Looking to the north the park was very
attractive with trees, shrubs and a creek; to the south, unattractive with lots of ugly buildings. The park is
situated far enough from the highway to minimise traffic noise and the only really negative factor was that,
somewhere near the budget cabins some inconsiderate females were laughing and talking loudly until 3am. A surprisingly
good park for a roadhouse and, as said above, with a bit more attention
could be an excellent park. Suitable for a night or longer.

Mew managers took over while we were there.
We paid for a week, extra 3% if you pay by credit card. All taps for your caravan is not drinkable as the water is pumped from a
creek, they do have one tap for drinking and tried to fill a small bottle for drinking and the water ran out. They did have a dump
point, and it was a black plastic container (same size as a 44 gallon drum) and when I went to use it, the dump point was full and
looked like it was not emptied for a long time. As this park was a bit remote they had their only generators for our power and out
of 7 days we were there 6 days the power went out between 1 - 3 time and a few brownouts.
The pool was a small above ground pool but they used milk crates to climb in and out of the pool. There was no mobile phone signal
but they did have a phone you can use with pre paid cards. 3 days after we were there new managers took over and within a few days
we saw improvements in the park the toilets/showers were so much cleaner and the atmosphere in the park improved heaps. The last
day we were there the power didn't go out so I believe the new managers fixed the power problem.
The owner of the park was friendly and hopefully with the new managers (who are very friendly) could solve a number of problems.
Price was lower than expected, poor value for money ($30 2A per night).

Falls, it was a convenient alternative when national park campground found to be full. Stayed only one night and moved to
national park ground next morning. At $25 (2A powered) good enough value for those with a proper site. Not particularly good

This park is actually just across the road, outside the National Park and therefore able to take dogs. Easy 4 km drive to
Wangi Falls. We paid $16 for an unpowered site for 2A per night, as we thought $25 per night for power was a little high but
understandable as they generate their own power. Plenty of room to spread out. The amenities block was basic but crowded for
the amount of guests in peak time. Can be very dusty, but the managers are working hard to keep water on to grassed sites.
