Hi Gary
First of all, I hope you are going to give yourself ample time to explore the area, as there is so much to see and do and you will love the
places, it is just unreal and you will see why people go back year after year. Temperatures in June should be in the low to mid 30's during the day and down to around 18 at night, making it perfect sleeping weather.
Seeing that you have not been there before, I will give you my honest thoughts on what I feel is the best place to
camp at Adels Grove, and like you we are also Ultimate owners.
If you are after a real Jungle feel, neighbours can be very close and extremely limited sun for solar charging and no
camp fires,then you might like to stay down in
the Grove.
There are no set sites down in
the Grove and it is first in best dressed.
The Top
Campground is where we stay for a number of great reasons, the first is you will be in a set numbered site that will be yours for the duration of your stay.
If you have a generator, you can use them in this area, but do not get put off by this, as you are far enough away that you will not hear any noise if anyone is using one and they are very strict on the times that they can be used.
The main reason why we stay there, is the sun and the ability to have a
camp fire each nigh, and your Solar will get lots of sun with nice open areas for you to set up your panels.
Enjoy you stay, and trust me, you will plan your next return stay there.
Cheers
Stephen
If you was to stay here, this is what you will be in for......

They must have changed the rules to no fires at
The Grove hey...we could have fires when we stayed there about 6 years ago, had a waterfront site and a nice little fire pit area.

Hi CSeaJay
Like all thinks, conditions can change, but when we were there they were not permitted there.
Unlike the Top
Campground where there are specific and allocated
camp sites, in
the Grove you can
camp anywhere you can find an appropriate place. For that reason, if everyone had a campfire where there were camped, there would be old fire remains everywhere.
Like I said rules can change, so I can not comment as of what is happening there now.
Cheers
Stephen

I realise rules can change.
To be more specific in my reply,
In the 2016 and the 2017 season
the Grove had campfires.
Note of warning though, be prepared and bring in your own firewood, none around and you are not allowed to collect in the NP.

We went there many years ago in Sept.- Oct. Our time for hols from work, it was quite hot so therefore stifling & a musty smell in
the grove section.
We opted for the top section where a gentle breeze was cooling. It was really nice.
Judging by Stephen's pictures it has grown.
Do the Rim walk ( perhaps not with little kids & older people ( it is a long walk and a bit rough) give your self plenty of time.
The scenery is spectacular and do the canoe trip probably once again care with little kids) It is fabulous.
Watch for
the springs bubbling up in many spots as you paddle along the River.
I never fail to tell people to visit,it goes down as one of our favourits.
Have a good time.
Take care, safe travels, Ma.
