Smitt Rock Campsite
Smitt Rock Campsite
Smitt Rock Campsite sits within Nitmiluk National Park in the Northern Territory, perched on the edge of the escarpment overlooking the fifth gorge of the Katherine River system.
It is one of the overnight camping options along the Southern Walking Trails network, accessible via the Smitt Rock track after a rugged approach through varied terrain.
The campsite offers several small tent sites spread across a reasonably wide area, giving campers some separation from one another. A toilet is available on site, and it is a short five-to-ten minute walk down to the river below.
One particularly sought-after spot sits right at the escarpment's edge with views over the gorge. A permit is required to camp here, obtainable through Parks and Wildlife.
Campers must carry all their own food, and water management is important on the surrounding trail network, which has water tanks marked on the walking map.
