Description

All camping in Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park (CYPAL) must be booked in advance. Campers must purchase an e-permit before arriving at the camping areas. Self-registration is not available and there is no mobile phone coverage on site (there is limited mobile phone coverage near the New Laura ranger base). To obtain an e-permit, you can: - book online - visit an over-the-counter camping permit booking office or self-service kiosk - phone 13 QGOV (13 74 68). Mobile phone charges may apply. Saltwater Crossing Campground is closed throughout the wet season every year from 1 December to 30 June. Camp sites are located on both banks of the tidal Saltwater Creek. Nearby Low Lake and Nifold Plain are ideal for bird watching. Large crocodiles are frequently seen here. There are four unpowered, numbered sites suitable for tent camping beside your vehicle and camper trailers. Sites one and two are on the southern side of Lakefield Road on the eastern bank of the creek; sites three and four are on the northern side of Lakefield Road on the western bank of the creek. The camping area can be reached by four-wheel-drive vehicle only. It is not accessible for caravans, campervans or buses. The road becomes impassable after rain. Open fires are allowed (except when fire bans apply). Fuel stoves are recommended. Do not collect firewood in the park. Only generators operated at less than 65dB(A), when measured 7m from the generator, are permitted, and only between 8.00am and 7.00pm. Mobile phone coverage is not available. No pets.
