1 night at Samson Creek secluded bush camping

What an incredible camp! We are absolutely in LOVE with it! After traveling for three months from Perth to Darwin, we can confidently say this is one of our top favorites. The hot showers are such a delightful luxury! 💦😉 The fireplaces add an amazing touch, too. It's clear that it's a passion project done with so much love.

1 night at Nina's Ark Wildlife Sanctuary

Nina Was super friendly and funny , she introduced us to all kind of animals that she has in the sanctuary. It’s a cozy and charming place ^^ , if you’re going in the dry season over there, please bring a jumper it gets cold at night. For my first experience camping I couldn’t choose something better !

Jean & John's Bynoe Stopover

130 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Bynoe, NT

The property is 40 acres of carefully maintained virgin rainforest. Our flora and fauna are exactly the same as nearby Litchfield National Park, unfortunately without any waterfalls. We have cleared about 10 acres of undergrowth leaving the trees for shade. Animals and other wildlife are abundant with the lilly pond on our front lawn being the only permanent water other than the Finniss River that they have in the area. We have hundreds of wallabies, goannas, frill necked lizards and plenty of bird life. Our pet Red Tailed Black Cockatoo "Butt" attracts the local wild ones, because she is happy they trust us so you can get closer to them than usual for photos. We have toilets and showers set up, the showers are cold water direct from the bore which meansminimum ground temperature so around 30 degrees not really cold at all. There is also a large wood fired BBQ in the same central area. The fish filleting table and boat cleaning area is also nearby. The local kites and other raptors including sea eagles and if you are lucky may see a wedgetailed eagle come in for fish scraps. Croc and dingo area - be aware! We are on the narrowest piece of land between the Finnis River and the Bynoe Harbour so although unlike my neighbours I haven't encountered crocs on the property I'm well aware that they would cross it. The dingos are heard at night as they pass through the area so we request that all food and scraps are kept out of reach as we don't want to encourage them...The pool is a magnet to children and adults alike, it is very old so we request that care and respect be exercised. Each afternoon we gather on the deck for happy hour with the drink of your choice. This is a lovely relaxing end to the day sharing camping adventures and learning about other's lives on the road and often at home too. This is generally Butts photo session and she can be a poser. It's a memory of your stay unique to here as Redtailed Black Cockatoos are generally shy but our Lady is happy to stand on your shoulder and even sqwauk in your ear if she's being difficult. We allow fires in pigs or other ground fire pits as well as the large bbq. We have a few fire pits that you may borrow. This is governed by fire conditions of course and usually we follow the local rating .
