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.

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: 

Please Note - Camping at the rodeo grounds is not permitted, except for individuals accompanied by cattle and horses.

RV travellers can deposit their wastewater (sewage) from caravans and RVs at Council's dumping site:
