Old Police Station Waterhole Campground - Davenport Range National Park NT
Very pleasant remote camping beside a permanent waterhole. Unlikely to be many other people there.
2007 - $3.30 per adult, per night. Old Police Station Waterhole, Davenport Range, NT. It is a great spot to visit and stay a while.
This a permanent waterhole within the river bed and part of the Proposed Davenport Ranges National Park. It is a beautiful setting with local wildlife visiting the waterhole. Bush camps are almost at the waters edge with plenty of shade provided by paperbarks and other trees. Facilities include (long drop) toilets within a short walk of the camp, and food preparation platforms. A short walk to the other side of the waterhole will take you to the Old Police Station ruins.

Just been thru the Davenport Range via Binns track from the South. Relatively easy 4X4 run but allow a full day to traverse the track from the southern entry point near Murray Downs, and at least a half day to come out via Epanarra & Kurundi. The old Tungsten mine at Hatch's Ck is worth a visit but be careful of mineshafts. But hey! what an oasis the policemans waterhole is. Great swimming. Take plenty of water. Nearest store and fuel would be Epanarra.
