Ereluk - Our personal name sake nestled between Jodetluk and Nitmiluk - Private, secluded, “Primitive Camp Sites” nestled around a 400 acre property in a unique Australian bush setting. Firstly named aptly “The Escarpment” for the truly beautiful ridge that runs kilometers along the block boundary, providing a perfect back drop to individual camp sites. Purpose built van pads spaced far enough apart to offer privacy and peace have been positioned with the Caravan in mind. Whilst waiting for the wet & the long grass to let us onto the flats, we have set up an initial 10 sites that are all year round accessible. These are a bit closer together as will be described in the description. Also a bit cheaper so happy campers all round! Ereluk - The true experience! Over The Creek - some of the best camping sites along the base of the escarpment are just waiting to be found. Yearly we fix up after the wet giving 4WD access to these hidden gems. A little more expensive but worth the extra for the views alone. On The Creek - Our most sort after sites! We have 3 sites only that are situated on the best part of the creek this block has to offer. Deep holes that are great for a swim with water so clear we drink it. Truly amazing and worth the extra $ for a sweet location. It is mostly 4WD access and all vans must be self-contained as no amenities, water or power are available at these sites. Those looking for a bush experience with plenty of activities to do during the day will not be disappointed.

Bush camping near Katherine.
Loved our stay here. It's located close to the gorge and is nice and secluded. Wayne checks on new arrivals to make sure everyone is happy. Next time will stay at one of the creek sites as they looked really good.

I loved my stay here! Only a few minutes from Katherine Gorge and is a very quiet and beautiful spot with well spaced out sites. Wayne is great too, full of local knowledge. Will definitely be back!

We had such a lovely time here. A few shady trees and nice flat spot. Wayne was a champion, really helpful and around to ask questions. He gave us a cool swim spot and a beautiful sunset point to visit.

On the doorstep of Nitmiluk
Oh we loved this place so much. Head across the creek if you can it’s worth it. We stayed here for a week and explored all Nitmiluk had to offer plus the swimming hole Wayne showed us. Wayne is an awesome host and this place is breathtaking. No facilities and no neighbours! Kids ran wild and had a ball. Thanks so much for having us. We will be back. Still so much left to explore!
