Kalpowar Crossing is a popular camping area set on the steep western bank of the Normanby River within Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park, Queensland.

It sits alongside an 8-kilometre stretch of permanent fresh waterholes and is well-regarded as one of the more well-appointed sites in the region. Large crocodiles are frequently sighted here.

The area offers 15 unpowered numbered sites for general use, plus four additional numbered sites reserved for commercial operators.

Access requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle; campervans and buses cannot reach the site, and the road becomes impassable after rain. Travellers bringing caravans should check road conditions before setting out.

Kalpowar Crossing also serves as the only vehicle crossing point on the Normanby River providing access to Cape Melville National Park, making it a key staging point for those heading further into remote Cape York. Bookings are required in advance.
