Edith Falls (Leliyn) Campground - Nitmiluk Np

Leliyn (Edith Falls) Campground sits on the western edge of Nitmiluk National Park, about 60 km north of Katherine along the Stuart Highway, beside the cascading waterfalls and natural swimming pools of the Edith River.

The landscaped, grassy campground offers unpowered sites in a peaceful bush setting, with gas barbecues, picnic tables, flushing toilets, and showers. Generators are not permitted. A kiosk near the picnic area handles camping fees and permits.

The campground is a popular base for swimming in the pandanus-fringed lower and upper pools, and for tackling nearby trails including the 2. 6 km Leliyn Trail loop and the 9 km return walk to Sweetwater Pool.

Walkers finishing the 66 km Jatbula Trail also end their journey here. For those seeking a more remote experience, a separate bush campsite at Sweetwater Pool is accessible via an 8. 6 km walk, with composting toilets but no other facilities.

Swimming in the pools may be restricted during the wet season due to dangerous conditions.
