Be immersed in the rugged beauty of our Northern bushland, from the luxury of your own fully self contained Van, camper tent or roof top. Open your eyes in the morning to a breathtaking escarpment of native bush. This makes the perfect camp to come home to after exploring Litchfield's waterfalls and attractions. At present we will only be offering 15 self contained sites, so plenty of space not to be on top of each other.
We (the owners) live on-site, about a three minute walk from the Van sites. We have also started a little coffee shop at our main camp so you can find us there most days.
We are located just 8km from Wangi Falls, one of Litchfield's largest and most iconic waterfalls. For most of the year it is open for swimming. There are also several other smaller water holes nearby. Most water attractions are accessible by car. If you do have a 4WD be sure to go off-road to visit the amazing, less accessible sites.

Private, peaceful and relaxing campground at Dundee Downs just 90 minutes from Darwin.
Handy boat ramp at Six Pack Creek.
Boat wash and fish cleaning station at the campground.
3 powered sites and large areas for unpowered campsites.
Modern toilet and solar hot water shower block.
Camp kitchen equipped with gas BBQ, fridge, dining and serving area.
Pool fenced and paved spa area.
Community fire pit, plenty of firewood.
The property backs onto the Mackenzie Arm of Bynoe Harbor, locally known as Six Pack Creek. The public boat ramp is a 5 minute drive away from the campground and is an ideal launching place to explore and fish the local waterways. Wash your boat and fillet your catch back at the campground.
Nature enthusiasts can enjoy the unique flora and fauna. Don't forget your binoculars to view the variety of native birds species, with some on the endangered list!
There are some very tall cycads and sand palms as well as many other unique species of native trees which can be observed along the designated walking tracks in areas which have not seen fire for many years.
We suggest guests bring along their favorite repellent and wear covered footwear for exploring our bush walks. Dusk and dawn are the best times for wildlife viewing but also when insects are most active. Light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing and a hat helps guests stay cool and less attractive to 'critters'
The campground is 8km off Fog Bay Road. Dundee Beach is 28.3km away and the Sand Palms Roadhouse is 23.7km from the campground.
Our main camping season runs during the cooler months of the Dry season from April to September but we warmly welcome you during the off-season.

Camped at Middle Camp Berry Springs for a long weekend getaway close to home (Darwin locals). Felt like we were miles away from home, it was such a peaceful spot. Loved that we could reserve a site and knew exactly what we were getting. The outdoor shower on our site was brilliant. Site 3 was shady and private, tucked away up the back of the campground.
The only issue we had was with mosquitoes. They were rampant. I got eaten alive, even using Bushmans spray, a mozzie coil, citronella candle and my Thermacell.
Unfortunately I became quite unwell during our stay and we had to leave in a hurry on the second day. As such, were unable to stay the final night of our booking which was a real shame.
We would come back again. Maybe when the weather is cooler. Our dogs also enjoyed the little getaway. Really appreciate being able to find nice, quiet camping spots that are so welcoming to dogs.
Thank you and see you again!

CS Geo campsite was huge and a good distance away from other sites. It comes with its own access to a path to the river which my little one loved exploring. Our family loved the bush walking tracks and the fact that the property isn't inundated with weeds or noticeable buffalo/pig damage. This is testament to the hard work the hosts have put in and it's really inspiring to see.
The drive is only an hour out of Darwin, making it really ideal for a young family. We also did a day trip to Dundee (40 mins) and considered Crab Claw (35 mins) The site was very spacious for our 1 car and camper trailer. A short distance to the immaculate toilet/shower, but far enough that there wasn't heaps of foot traffic past us. The toilet was actually pristine and well ventilated and I dare so it was the cleanest bush toilet I've encountered. Will definitely be returning.
