Mick Fienn Waterhole

Mick Fienn Waterhole camping area sits on the low western bank of the Normanby River within Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park (CYPAL) in Queensland, adjacent to deep, permanent waterholes. Large saltwater crocodiles are frequently sighted here.

The area offers five numbered, unpowered sites — some with partial shade, others with none — and campfires are permitted.

Access is by four-wheel-drive only, and the road crosses the Kennedy River before reaching the site, located roughly 9 km east of Lakefield Road. The route becomes impassable after rain and is unsuitable for caravans, campervans, or buses.

Total self-sufficiency in food, water, fuel, and spare parts is essential. Visitors have noted the striking early-morning atmosphere, with mist rising from the permanent waterholes at sunrise.
