Nitmiluk National Park
Places to camp in Nitmiluk National Park
Season and permits in Northern Territory
The dry season runs from May to September, when park campgrounds are busiest. The build-up and the wet, from October to April, bring storms and road closures, and Central Australia can pass 40 degrees in those months.
Campsites in NT parks are booked and paid online before you arrive, and visitors from outside the Territory need an NT Parks Visitor Pass for most parks. Kakadu and Uluru-Kata Tjuta sell their own passes through Parks Australia.
