Information

Litchfield National Park is an ancient landscape shaped by water. It features numerous stunning waterfalls which cascade from the sandstone plateau of the Tabletop Range.The Park covers approximately 1500 sq km and contains representative examples of most of the Top End’s natural habitats. Litchfield National Park is a must see if you're in the Top End.

Aboriginal people have lived throughout the area for thousands of years. It is important to the Koongurrukun, Mak Mak Marranunggu, Werat and Warray Aboriginal people whose Ancestral Spirits formed the landscape, plants and animals and are still present in the landscape today.

There are several stunning waterfalls that fountain into crystal clear pools, iconic magnetic termite mounds and clusters of weathered sandstone pillars at the Lost City. Swimming under the falls and relaxing in waterholes is a favourite pastime for visitors and locals alike.

It is a popular day tour destination from Darwin or Katherine, but many visitors choose to stay overnight in one of the campgrounds. Non powered caravan camping sites are available at Wangi and Florence 2WD campgrounds. 4WD camping areas (dry season only) are at Sandy Creek and Surprise Creek Falls.
