How does sleeping to the sounds of the waterfall and chirping crickets sound to you? If this is your thing then the Florence Falls Campgrounds are just what you are looking for. With modern toilets and showers these campsites are simply convenient!
At Florence Falls there are designated campsites that will not disappoint. They share the same access road with Buley Rockhole. This serene waterfall flows all year round and is a sign to behold during the wet season and at the start of the dry season. The campsites here have fire pits and hot plates so you can have your dinner underneath the stars. It is also a popular location for photographers as the scenes here are always beautiful. Be sure to book online before your trip to ensure your spot.
The campsites vary in size and the bigger spots are ideal to park your caravan. They are however sloping so be sure to have your leveling gear for your campervan ready. Another thing to note is these are not powered sites so if you want to recharge your van or need an electrical connection this is not the ideal spot for you.

Preparing for your camping trip:
- Bring enough drinking water as there is no water, there are no rubbish bins, you have to take your rubbish away with you when you go.
- Collect fallen timber for firewood from the main Litchfield Park Road.(keep fires in the designated fire pits please be fire safe and protect the park and the animals that live in it)
- Get your permits i.e drone permit
- Pets are not permitted.

- What to do in an emergency:
- When washing up with soap or detergent, be 50m away from waterways. This protects the animals in the water from pollution and is a must do.
