Edith Farms Paradise
7 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · Edith, NT
A beautiful private 100-acre property only 15 minutes from stunning Edith Falls and 30km from Katherine Town.
The property has some horses and cows - so plenty of cuteness around for the kids! They are all pets so very friendly and love snacks and people :)
All animals are in the paddocks with a fence around it, so you don’t have to worry about a cow or horse next to your caravan in the morning 🐮
Dogs are very welcome as well. There is a special dog area that is fenced off where they can walk around all day if you want to go out exploring or at night time and there is 6 large dog cages in the dog run as well for if there are multiple campers with dogs that want to use the dog area at the same time.
I have three caravan sites available on a couple of acres graveled area to make sure that guests are not right next to each other. I also have two sites available for tents or cars with roof top tents away from the caravan area
I love meeting new people and always happy to share some great Katherine tips with you.

About
Embark on an adventure to Butterfly Gorge Nature Park, where the rugged spinifex country unfolds into a serene gorge, home to fluttering common crow butterflies. Traverse the rocky trails, gaze upon scenic lookouts, and engage in exhilarating four-wheel driving. While the park beckons with its natural splendor, overnight stays are for the nearby Douglas River Esplanade Conservation Area, as camping within the park's embrace is not permitted.
When to go
The best time to visit Butterfly Gorge Nature Park is during the Dry Season, when the park is open for day use. The park is closed during the Wet Season due to seasonal conditions, typically reopening on 31 May each year. Plan your visit to coincide with the cooler, drier months for an optimal experience.
