Free Camp – Mathison Rest Area- Northern Territory

Add to favorites

Mathison rest area is 104 km South West of Katherine.

This free camp gave us time to pull up and make a coffee. I love that we can pull up anywhere and plug in our espresso machine.

Our 2000w inverter helps with that of course. As we are full time on the road and the van is our home I like our homely comforts. Good coffee is up there with comfy bed.

Rest Area Amenities

This 24 hour free camp has a dump point, not the usual blue lid one but a dump point all the same.

Toilets are here as well as the usual undercover seating areas.

You have numerous bins to choose from and a couple of water tanks are also here.

They do say “don’t drink the water” but nice to have water available for other things. Wood BBQ/fire’s are available to keep warm in the cooler months or have a cook up.  

This was a clean and tidy free camp to either take a break and empty the dunny or stay the night.
