The
Kalpowar Crossing is a great
campsite within the Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park. There are large sites and the
camping area sits beside a large crossing with an abundance of water. There are drop
toilets and cold showers. There is a
boat ramp which can be used for small boats/dingies but beware that crocodiles inhabit this area so care must be taken. The road into this area is graded and not too difficult to travel.
Bookings MUST be made prior to arrival. Use the website above to find booking options, or use Self Service Counter, Lakefield Road,
Laura, or by phone.
Stretch your legs on the
Kalpowar discovery walk—an easy stroll that meanders along the river through thick vine forest and stretches of peaceful open woodland. Launch your boat from the causeway and spend a day fishing and exploring the Normanby River and its tributaries. Or jump in your car and explore the surrounding lagoons, rivers and historic sites.
