Camping

The Carpentaria Shire Council welcomes all travellers to our region and the opportunity to see some of the best nature has to offer, the Outback by the Sea.

Overnight Parking

Overnight parking is not permitted on roadsides and other public land within 5km of the townships of Normanton and Karumba.

Self-drive travellers will find affordable overnight accommodation at the region's many commercially-operated caravan and tourist parks.

Free camping is only available in Normanton when the caravan and tourist parks are fully booked out.

Council offers a seasonal free camping site on the banks of the Norman River in Normanton. Limited permits are available and you can apply for a permit here:
