Camp under the stars, share stories by the fire, and wake to Country.
Owned and operated by local Aboriginal artist Steve Jabaljarri Sutton, this is more than a campsite — it’s a cultural experience. Share stories by the campfire, enjoy our Beef & Reef café meals, explore local Country, and drop into the on-site gallery to see Steve’s work in person.
“There’s no place like the Barkly – and no better way to experience it than with us!” - Steve
Pull up and settle in at one of our 12 self-contained caravan and camper sites, surrounded by peaceful bushland. Private, quiet, and made for travellers who love a bit of space and soul.

For a few unforgettable minutes, day will turn to night on Country — a perfect alignment of sky, story, and place. This is more than just an eclipse; it’s a powerful gathering point for artists, travelers, and those seeking to witness the universe at its most dramatic.
