Dingo Waterhole

Dingo Waterhole is a remote camping area in Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park (CYPAL), situated on the low western bank of the Normanby River adjacent to a deep, permanent waterhole. Large crocodiles are frequently seen in the area.

The site accommodates a single numbered site with a maximum of three vehicles and eight people, and is suitable for tent camping and camper trailers on a dirt and grass surface with partial shade.

Access requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle; the road crosses the Kennedy River and becomes impassable after rain. Caravans, campervans, and buses cannot reach the site.

It lies roughly 9 km east of Lakefield Road, with the turn-off 24 km north of New Laura ranger base. Facilities include individual and communal fire rings, though no toilets are available and mobile phone coverage is absent.

Manual boat launching is possible, but there is no trailer access.
