Weekend Trip to Two Jays Cara, Camp & Cabins

Was a great spot to set up camp for a few days, quick drive to dundee and back to litchfield np. Amenities were very clean and plenty of them, heaps of room for the kids as we were there late into the dry season. 2 jays were very friendly and we snagged an unexpected Saturday nite camp cookup. Was some friendly animals in the paddocks surrounding the park for the kids to pat.

4 nights at Weddell Caravan Park

Quiet, relaxed bush campsites only a couple kms along a dirt road which has power, water hook up & very rustic portable loos/showers plus rubbish bins. Only one other couple onsite during our 4 days here so it's a good rural base, half an hour to Darwin city. Midges really come out at dusk so you need to retreat to your caravan or tent in early evenings. Lots of birdlife, nice view looking out over horses and brahman cattle in adjoinging paddocks.

Weekend Trip to Top Camp

Amanda and Pete have created a prefect little getaway that is fully fenced. So if you are lucky enough to have the place to yourself, you can let the doggos or kids run. Very well maintained grounds, lush grass and fruit trees. About an acre of space to relax with a new bathroom block incl 1 toilet and 1 shower. Power and water available. Amanda and Pete's pigs, cows and chickens are only a stone throw away which adds to the Territory experience. We will definitely be back and looking forward to the next stay!
