The best dog-friendly glamping near Darwin

For the most comfortable conditions, visit during the dry season, which runs from May to October and promises relatively cooler temperatures. This is peak season for the Top End, however, so opt for the shoulder month of April to avoid the crowds. If you visit during the wet season from November through April, you’ll see the waterfalls of Litchfield at their best but roads and entire areas may be closed due to flooding.

• When traveling in the Top End pay close attention to crocodile warning signs.
• Be sure to wear protective clothing and bring insect repellent and plenty of water.
• Campers should take note of fire bans and be sure to use the pits provided for campfires.
• Pets are not permitted in national parks.
• Don’t worry if you forgot something, Darwin is home to a number of camping and outdoor supply stores.

Visiting Edith Falls takes you into a seemingly tropical landscape and offers opportunities to walk behind the large walls of water that pour off of the beautiful Blue Mountains.
