Description

Umbrawarra is a striking gorge with sharp red cliffs and sandstone overhangs. A small campground with a composting toilet is only a short distance from the gorge entrance. Water is not provided. Camping fees apply and now must be booked online. The Park can be reached by all vehicles in the dry season (May - September). Towing caravans along this road is not recommended due to the corrugations. During the wet season (October - April), the road is only accessible by 4WD vehicles and may become impassable after rain. Consult maps and check road conditions on 1 800 246 199 prior to your visit, or visit the website www.roadreport.nt.gov.au Sites are unpowered and generators are not permitted in the park. Visit in the early to mid Dry Season when you can be sure the creek is flowing and you can swim in its rocky pools and sandy beaches. It's an easy 1km walk along the creek into the gorge, but those who like the road less travelled can wade, swim and rock-hop along the way. Pets are not permitted in the park.
