Either way, when you retreat to your campsite you’ll be surrounded by nature and guaranteed a stunning night sky.
In the daytime stroll to the nearby visitor centre to arrange a boat cruise on the stunning Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge. Energetic? Hire a single or twin canoe and paddle your way around, or embark on one of the many nearby walking and hiking trails.
