This was the best caravan park we have stayed in. Lovely green grass, absolutely beautiful new and clean amenities and laundry and lovely people running it. If we are ever back in Katherine we will definately stay here again.

One of the best caravan parks we have stayed at, the sites are really big and quite separate with lots of palm trees between, and lovely grassy sites with concrete slabs. The amenities block was quite new and always scrupulously clean, with lovely big shower cubicles with lots of space to put things. We enjoyed the pool a few times... More

We stayed here in our caravan on a powered site. The site is very well set out and maintained. It is a bit out of town toward the Katherine Gorge and is situated well off the road. It is quiet, green and very inviting. The bathroom facilities are new and very nice.

We choose this park for a number of reasons, its location to Katherine Gorge,the way it appeared on the web site and the cost factor. Having stay at a number of parks between Melb where we started our... More

We stayed in a one bedroom cabin which was comfy, clean, spacious and modern. Have stayed there before and liked it, but it is even better now as the cabins have been renovated. The managers are really friendly and helpful. Great location out of town, so lovely and quiet. Nice shady grounds. The laundry and the BBQ area were spotless.... More

We are a family of five and stayed two nights in a two bedroom cabin. These cabins are huge and positioned so that you have total privacy. It is a couple of minutes drive from downtown Katherine which is not a bad thing. The kids loved the pool and I loved sitting on the deck looking over the trees having... More

Very impressive camp site - only had price for powered site, so a little pricey for a tent camper like me, but they gave me a discount as they could see I wouldn't be using the power for air conditioning etc! A little way out of town but perfect for a quiet setting and close enough to town to be... More

Thank you for your comments regarding your stay in our park. We have elected to make power available to all sites, it saves having mobiles, computers etc, charging in inappropriate places. it also gives you more choice of site to suit your particular requirements.
