Recently considering the same issues here - Kingfisher camp (they have a web site) is a bit off-route possibly but I think I'll go north to there from Lawn Hill, then east.
BTW-1.... the Bushtracker caravans site has a few DVD's that can be viewed on line - one of them features this top end area, including Kingfisher.

BTW-2 .... on the way into Normanton, Burke & Wills' most northerly camp (no. 119) is close by - was there a few years back - worth a look.

Assuming you have camped at Adels Grove, next stop is Gregory Hotel, the river bed is a good site,busy but very nice or just camp at the pub site ..... afer that you can duck down to the Gregory at the Tirranna road (Savannah way) next would be Burketown, stay in the c/park or if you wish or go out to the river banks just out of Burketown near the bridge, again busy but still some sites along it, next would be the Lichardt Falls, nice spot and nearly always someone there, next at Burke n Wills site and next at Nomanton ...........
Cheers

A friend of mine just went to Kingfisher, Below is her commentsL
“We have just got back from a trip up north, We went to Kingfisher - Kingfisher is a mess they haven't mown it properly or cleaned out the fire places it just looked so untidy, the poor people running it are keen enough but have no idea no one had explained the watering system and he spent most of his life fixing pipes, its just as well it has not been busy as no one explained the sewer system to him and he had no pump hooked up, just things in general were looking really run down. The last straw for us was, when we came to leave yes its all open to the south so away we went the road through the station was in a very bad way we get to the gate by the homestead it was pad locked, so we go to the house an overgrown dump no one home, I go to the white house and had trouble getting there through the weeds and overgrowth no one home, so I went back to the gate and cut the chain, we didn't want to but we also didn't want to spend an hour going back to Kingfisher when we had been told it was all open we then got to the boundary fence it was locked so did the same. The road to Lawn Hill hadn't been touched so we had a very challenging drive to Adel's.”

Take care.
