Elsey National Park

Friendly volunteers on-site. Website for bookings is a new thing and needs some work. Definitely a you need to go there once at least place

Loved this. Much nicer campsites than the nearby caravan parks if you prefer space and bush. Not as close to thermal springs but right on the river for interesting walks.

Really nice springs, just very crowded and tourist city. Be prepared for beautiful setting full of road trippers and their pool noodles

What an amazing area. Bitter Springs are amazing. Camping at Jalmurak camp ground was very nice.

Gorgeous thermal springs.incredible water so clear. The pools actually snake down 150m or so, so there's loads of space even if it gets busy. Easy entry/exit steps. Bring a noodle or tube so you can relax while the (mild) current takes you down to the end.

Worth the visit. Book the campsite online. The small walks (Botanic loop, Aboriginal campsite, river sites) are worth the time. I liked Bitter Springs and the We Of Never Never film set. Mataranka museum was good and films "We of the Never Never" every day.

Stayed at Ropper River Stock camp great experience the best fresh bread wonderful place to stay with your kids

Awesome little place to come visit for a swim. They have camping grounds but we stayed in a room here.

Camped at the other campground the 1st night which was great then Mataranka homestead the next few nights. Loved the thermal pool although does get quite busy and noisy and a just a short drive to Bitter springs. This was a nice relaxing drift along the crystal clear creek. A noodle is a must to get the most out it.

Lovely place to stay with plenty of space, clean ammenities and open camp fire facilities. Watch out for the black pig

Very tidy and relaxed atmosphere.
Food was simple and very tasty.
Service, while relaxed, was excellent.

Great place for a day or two. The campsite 12 km out Jalmurark (AKA 12 mile yard) has hot showers and gas BBQ. $10/person camping fee.
It even has its own spring feed water hole (crocodile free) swimming hole 100 meters from the camp site.

We stayed in the park, fantastic clean toilets and great showers. Well worth the money, was happy to leave a larger than needed fee. Please respect and enjoy it.

Great swim, we went before 8am, no crowds and mist on the water. Very nice, take noodle and goggles.

What an amazing place in the Northern Territory. We spent the first part of the morning swimming at Bitter Springs which I highly recommend. It is like something you see on TV! You don’t need to travel out of Australia to enjoy something so magical and beautiful. Water is clear. There’s a nice currant which can take you downstream if you wish to float and relax. Ample parking. Not too far to walk to the springs. Toilets are near car park.

It's seen some better days with facilities, but it's authentic and still stunning. Bower bird nest near the bathroom that was well worth the gander.

Sort of like stepping in time machine and going to prehistoric kingdom only difference is no dinos. Unique experience would definitely recommend. Be aware though there may be 1000s of bats

Beautiful place. Bitter Springs, fantastic with something to float down the creek on. Mataranka just as nice and super relaxing.

Great so much to see, history were the movie The land of never never was made, very true depiction of outback Australia

Beautiful, natural waterway; you can float along while listening to the birds & watch the insects zip around.
