Litchfield Safari Camp: A Cut Above the Rest

We believe in giving our customers an excellent choice of accommodation in one of Australia’s most stunning settings. For some, a powered site may be their ideal home from home, while others might prefer the luxury and charm of a glamping safari tent.

The brand-new landscaped pool is ideal for making a splash and relaxing on a day off after a string of hiking adventures. There’s also a communal camp kitchen offering filtered water, campfire zones and an amenities area for refreshing showers. You’ll even find washing machines here, too.

It’s the location that can make or break a holiday— Litchfield Safari Camp offers unrivalled access to Litchfield National Park as it’s right on the doorstep of the park’s western entrance.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Litchfield National Park?

There are few certainties in life, but one is that there is never a bad time to visit Litchfield National Park Caravan Parks.

The dry season runs from May to October. This is the most popular time to visit because most roads and more swimming spots are open. Many visitors find the dry season the most comfortable time of year for hiking, camping and cycling.

Temperatures hover between 21°C to 32°C throughout the year. In the dry season, there’s far less humidity and little or no rain. Days are sunshine-filled, and the nights are warm. You’ll know it’s the dry season as you’re likely to see a plethora of dragonflies hovering back and forth.

The Wet Season Has Plenty of Benefits, Too

The humidity can go higher than 80 per cent in the wet season. The end of the year is when you’ll witness monsoons, spectacular tropical storms and cyclones. This is the moment to enjoy magnificent sunsets in all shades of orange, pink, blue and purple.

You should check road conditions before setting off to remote areas or national parks in case of flooding during the wet season. More experienced travellers say they prefer the wet season because the ground comes alive and becomes lush with the arrival of the rains.

Regardless of when you visit, it’s important to be smart. That means keeping yourself well-hydrated, wearing sun protection and dressing appropriately.

Selecting Litchfield National Park Caravan Parks

• A pet-friendly and family-friendly welcome
• On-site amenities such as swimming pool, campfire zones and showers
• Variety of available Litchfield accommodation

Safety and Wildlife Awareness

Wherever you choose to stay, you’ll be sharing the space with a vast variety of wildlife, flora and fauna. It’s never a good idea to disturb animals or insects.

Be mindful that any body of water in what’s known as the Top End of the Northern Territory may be home to dangerous crocodiles. Ensure you observe safety signs.

Flowers and shrubs are there for everyone to enjoy, so do not pick them. Never dive or jump into shallow waterholes

Dry weather conditions can increase the danger of fires. Check for fire restrictions in the area you’re visiting. Keep up to date with the location of tropical cyclones during the wet season.

Carry extra food on long journeys, and always have a few long-life snacks in the car, along with plenty of extra drinking water. If you are setting off on a hike, always let someone know where you are going. Ensure smartphone batteries have a full charge.
