Sullivan Campground

Visited: very late dry season

Recommendation: With over 50 bird species found in this tiny space, a permanent waterhole and camping facilities, I would recommend a stay here even in brutally hot conditions.

As you can see from the map below, this campground is pretty much in the middle of nowhere in between Katherine and Timber Creek. I found it because I am always looking for rest areas and free camping sites on my journeys. They have, time after time, proved to be the best places to see wildlife. I knew there was a permanent waterhole here and that bodes very well.

Despite being brutally hot when I arrived in the afternoon, there was lots of activity around the waterhole. It was long and thin and you can walk out of the campground along the edge of the water. It was dusty and the ground uneven so all in all, not that pleasant. But then you don't care much about that when there are so many birds around. Here is a gallery of my best shots from my short time at this wonderful spot.
