Looking for a true Top End experience? Welcome to Litchfield Tourist Park, a great base for your Litchfield National Park adventure. We are a small, family owned caravan park located in cattle country, on the outskirts of the fabulous Litchfield National Park, 14km from Batchelor. Welcome to the outback, where a creek flows through our backyard, cattle and horses roam over our back fence, and where native birds and wildlife make their home. We feel privileged to live in such an amazing region and constantly look for ways to preserve and protect it. You can help in many ways: by using our recycling waste centres, reducing the amount of single-use plastics that you bring or simply arrive at the café with your own cup for morning coffee.

Enough space for camping, the driveway is a bit narrow but was fine for our caravan.

This camping spot is an absolute gem! Very private and quiet, a lovely place amongst vegetation. The outdoor shower and toilet are simple but totally adequate. Electricity and shade provided. Jeff is a friendly guy with lots of local knowledge. This was our favourite camping during our two week NT travel. Highly recommend!

Fantastic private getaway close to boat ramp and tavern. Owners are local and did everything to make you feel welcome. Huge Tv on side of shed under patio along with table and chair with fans. Would definitely come back if up this way again.

Sensational spot. If you want to get away from the crowd that I saw at Caravan park, this is the spot. Perfect to let dog run free. The outdoor shower was amazing, lots of pressure and easily adjusted. Stuart was great, he went out of his way to take me for a drive and show me places to see and fish Highly recommend!!!
