Information

Dingo Waterhole is a remote bush camping area in Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park (CYPAL), on Cape York Peninsula. The campsite is situated beside a deep, permanent waterhole on the low western bank of the Normanby River, surrounded by natural bushland. The riverside setting offers opportunities for birdwatching, wildlife observation and fishing.The camping area accommodates a maximum of 8 people and 3 vehicles, with unnumbered sites. Access is by 4WD only, and off-road camper trailers are permitted.Facilities are limited to individual and communal fire rings, with no toilets or mobile phone coverage. Campers must be fully self-sufficient and bring drinking water, supplies and rubbish bags. Campfires and generators are permitted subject to park conditions and fire restrictions.**Large saltwater crocodiles are frequently seen at this waterhole.** The low riverbank provides little separation from the water, so extreme caution is required. Do not swim or approach the water's edge.**Camping fees apply and bookings are compulsory prior to arrival.** Access is seasonal and may be restricted during the wet season.
