2 nights at Hokey's Camp Site Wagait Beach

Great place, really well setup camp and close to the beach!

Weekend Trip to Middle Camp & Stay- Berry Springs

Middle camp at Berry Springs was the perfect bush camp. Beautiful green grass, new amenities, a free washing machine, power, water and even an outdoor shower all on your very private site. These guys obviously take pride in their property. Also easy to find with great signage around the place.

We went camping with our friend group and we all enjoyed it very much! Mel was really friendly and welcoming. We also really enjoyed the campfire, and I would definitely come back again!

Weekend Trip to Middle Camp & Stay- Berry Springs

Fantastic spot to relax. Great amenities and outdoor shower at each camp. Firepit and can collect fallen timber will be back soon

Weekend Trip to Middle Camp & Stay- Berry Springs

Our family loved camp 2 spot! Great grassed area, outdoor shower was a treat (we took a little waddling pool for the kids), the amenities were beautiful and very clean. And even though the other sites were booked too, we didn’t even hear them! Even the dogs had a ball too! Great spot, we will be back for sure :)

2 nights at Kick Back & Relax Campsite

Great spot. Family loved it. Lovely hosts. Thanks for making such a great place available, and at a great price too.

Weekend Trip to Middle Camp & Stay- Berry Springs

We absolutely loved our stay at Middle Camp! It’s a fantastic place to camp with dogs, and we really appreciated that they allow more than just one or two—we were able to bring our three pups without any hassle. The owners clearly take pride in maintaining the campground, as everything was beautifully kept and spotlessly clean. Unlike most places at this time of year where the grass is usually dry and crunchy, the grounds at Middle Camp were lush, green, and soft—an absolute treat! The amenities were outstanding—clean, modern, and comfortable. The warm showers had a fresh, updated feel, and it was great to have access to a washing machine if needed. It made the whole camping experience feel a bit more luxurious. We also loved the location. It’s super close to Berry Springs Tavern, making it the perfect spot to set up camp while exploring Berry Springs and even taking a trip to the wildlife park. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, with enough space and privacy that we hardly noticed our neighbors. We felt comfortable and safe throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be back! Middle Camp exceeded our expectations and made for a memorable and enjoyable getaway.

1 night at Wells Creek Retreat

We were Mel's first guests and she couldn't do enough for us. She was super welcoming and her property is a gorgeous oasis about 2kms from Coles, Woolies, Kmart, mechanics and fuel at Coolalinga. Not far from Darwin city and Berry Springs. Easy day trip to Litchfield from here too. Site 2 is huge and offers lots of shade or open grass areas depending on what you prefer. Bit of bushland seperating the two sites on offer, so feels private. Gorgeous little creek to splash in and some lovely green grass for my pup to roll around on, as only just coming out of the wet season. Designated fire places to relax by. Walking tracks nearby too if you fancy a stretch of the legs. We even saw two kangaroos at dusk! Dog and tent friendly which is great! We will be back for sure! :-)

Ereluk - The Escarpment @ The Gorge

39 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents400 acres · Lansdowne, NT

Ereluk - Cabins, Campground and primitive Camp Sites. Ereluk as in 'look here - ere look' a little play on names as were nestled between the Aboriginal community Jodetluk and Nitmiluk. (Luk - means place or country in Jawoyn). Private, secluded, “Primitive Camp Sites” nestled around a 400 acre property in a unique Australian bush setting. Development has happened and we have been busy creating an all year round access site. Compacted Gravel access roads and both Camping and Caravan Pads located along the creek that flows in the wet around the campground. We have also added a camp Kitchen and basic toilet and shower block (Currently under construction and still will be if this note is present) along with 7 Powered Van sites. We still have the initial basic sites that were created for wet season access. These are a bit closer together as will be described in the description. Also a bit cheaper so happy campers all round! Ereluk - The true experience! Over The Creek - some of the best camping sites along the base of the escarpment are just waiting to be found. Yearly we fix up after the wet giving 4WD access to these hidden gems. A little more expensive but worth the extra for the views alone. On The Creek - Our most sort after sites! We have 3 sites only that are situated on the best part of the creek this block has to offer. Deep holes that are great for a swim with water so clear we drink it. Truly amazing and worth the extra $ for a sweet location. It is mostly 4WD access and all vans must be self-contained as no amenities, water or power are available at these sites. Those looking for a bush experience with plenty of activities to do during the day will not be disappointed.

Camping in Northern Territory guide

Overview

Vast desert landscapes, balmy tropical heat, and some of Australia’s most dramatic terrain—the Northern Territory is a region to be savoured. Give yourself ample time to explore the national parks’ ancient Aboriginal rock art; hike through sweeping gorges; or set out on an epic road trip all the way to the Red Centre. Here, each season offers its own appeal. Dry season (June through Sept) is the best time to hike, surf, or camp out in the wilderness, while in wet season (November through April), wildlife cruises and waterfalls are at their most impressive.

Where to go

Darwin

Darwin is the gateway to the Litchfield and Mary River national parks, where you can pitch a tent along the riverside, spot wildlife on a bushwalk, then cool off in a natural swimming hole. For the best of both worlds, stop at one of the city’s beachfront campsites and explore the parks on a day trip.

Kakadu

Cruise among crocs, uncover Aboriginal rock art sites, and swim in natural waterholes at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. Bush campgrounds provide an opportunity to get back to nature, while the park has over 30 marked rainforest hiking trails.

Alice Springs

Venture to Alice Springs, Australia’s Red Centre, to hike around King’s Canyon, hear Dreamtime stories of Aboriginal heritage, and lose yourself in the endless desert landscapes. Adventurers can roll out a swag beneath the desert stars and wake early to watch the sunrise over Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.

Katherine

South of Darwin, the Katherine River is flanked by rocky gorges and savannah grasslands where you can hike, camp, or kayak away from crowds. In Nitmiluk National Park, you can also soak in natural thermal springs, visit ancient caves, or swim at Edith Falls.

Arnhem Land

Campers venturing to the northernmost corner of Arnhem Land are rewarded with deserted beaches, rocky promontories, and hidden waterfalls. You need a permit to visit the traditional lands of the Yolngu people and a four-wheel drive is best for getting around, but it’s worth the effort to discover one of Australia’s most undeveloped pockets of wilderness.
