New campsites and swimming areas to open as part of Central Valley development at Litchfield National Park

Litchfield National Park will soon add another jewel to its crown with the opening of new campsites and swimming areas this week.

LITCHFIELD National Park will soon add another jewel to its crown with the opening of new campsites and swimming areas from Saturday, August 14.

The new campground, which makes up part of the highly anticipated Central Valley development, will offer 10 new campsites and give campers direct access to swim in and enjoy spring-fed creeks.

The Central Valley development is part of a multi-million dollar government investment to bolster Top End tourism.

Minister for Parks and Rangers Selena Uibo said the opening was another drawcard for visitors to the park.

“Central Valley will be yet another tourism gem for the Top End, and this is why we are continuing to invest to ensure we maximise everything it has to offer,” she said.

“This government is committed to protecting and conserving our parks, and these upgrades will ease overcrowding with new camping, swimming and walking spots to please visitors of all ages.”
