RV TRAVEL
BEST TIME TO TACKLE IT
The Reynolds River Track is only open during the Dry, typically from May to October, depending on rainfall and water levels. The best time to visit is from June to August, when the rivers have receded enough to be safely crossed, waterfalls are still flowing nicely, and daytime temperatures are comfortable for walking and camping.
Always check the current conditions on the NT Parks website before heading out. Track openings can vary from year to year, and river crossings should never be underestimated.
There are two Reynold River crossings and both are spectacular.
Sandy Creek campground is well set-up.
GUIDED TOURS: ETHICAL ADVENTURES
Not everyone wants to risk their own vehicle, and if you’ re in a caravan park with a soft-roader or campervan, don’ t worry, you can still experience the track. Rob Woods from Ethical Adventures offers guided tag-along tours and ride-along options that allow travellers to enjoy the Reynolds River Track with the reassurance of local knowledge and expert interpretation.
Rob’ s tours dig deeper into the stories, environment and cultural significance of Litchfield’ s southern country. You can join in your own 4WD, or travel in Rob’ s vehicle and leave yours safely at your accommodation. Either way, it’ s a fantastic way to experience this track without the stress. I must say it was one of the best tours I’ ve ever been a part of.
