A Peaceful Gateway to the Top End’s Natural Wonders | Lets Go Caravan and Camping

A Peaceful Gateway to the Top End’s Natural Wonders

Category: Inspiration, News, Road To A Million, RoadtoaMillion2526, Date: 19 November 2025

For travellers heading north, Riverview Tourist Village is the ideal stop where comfort meets adventure. Just 400 metres from the iconic Katherine Hot Springs, guests can wander from their site straight into warm, turquoise pools surrounded by lush greenery — a daily ritual visitors adore.

Set beneath tall mahogany trees, the park offers cooling shade and a relaxed atmosphere that’s especially welcome in the build-up to the Wet. As storms roll in and the landscape bursts into vibrant greens, Riverview becomes a peaceful, tropical base for exploring the region.

Nearby, Nitmiluk Gorge is the star attraction — a breathtaking network of waterways carved through ancient Arnhem Land stone. Travellers can join boat tours, cultural cruises or even paddle between the towering cliffs of the first few gorges. It’s an unforgettable Top End experience.

While summer is quiet in Katherine, the region comes alive in the Dry with major festivals like the Barunga Festival — a celebration of culture, music and Indigenous community just 80km away. Travellers planning for winter 2026 should book early: the park will be fully booked from June–August.
