The facilities were great, much more than I expected. A highlight was the outdoor shower, would love one at home. Although very different to the type of remote area (no facilities) camping we usually go for, this was very pleasant, relaxing and easy. Enjoyed a lazy couple of days

The best camping not far from Darwin! We loved Deckabout Dundee - it’s camping with a few luxuries - the deck (especially the fans on a hot afternoon) and outdoor bathroom and shower are great! Our little one loved riding his bike and the dog loved it too! Great spot - not too far to travel for lunch at Dundee beach. Angelique was super responsive too.

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.

Absolutley beautiful place to stay! Quiet, peaceful, you have the place all to yourself. The deck is gorgeous, fans are a big asset in the heat of the day. Outdoor shower and toilet were amazing. We would stay again!
Road was a little tricky to find only because the entry is hidden so well, dirt track with scrub on either side but easily accessible to a large van and car. Loved our stay!

Brilliant spot to hide away for some peace and quiet. Easy to find, great deck to escape the red dirt, fantastic facilities (what treat!), and best of all, dog friendly (not enclosed, so escape artists on leash). Sadly, camper before me left some cigarette butts. Please take your rubbish with you when you leave. Thank you for a great stay, I'll be back!

This private block of land is ideal for group camping, providing a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s just a short drive from the beautiful Dundee Beach, making it convenient for beach outings.
The facilities, including the toilet and bathroom, are nestled among nature, which enhances the overall ambiance and privacy.
The host is incredibly easy to contact and is always available to help with anything you might need, making our stay worry-free. This was our second visit, and Deckabout Dundee has officially become our favourite camping spot!
The deck is a lovely area to unwind and relax, and setting up a campfire for the kids adds to the charm. The swing and trampoline brought endless joy and entertainment for the little ones, keeping them busy and happy.
This camping site has everything you need for a memorable getaway. Highly recommended!

Great Hipcamp! We based ourselves here as we wanted the space and privacy, which is what we got! The kids had the freedom to run around and loved the friendly dog and chickens.

Very nice camp ground with all the amenities. Would suit a large group best. Directions were simple however the street given there turns out to be 2 of them....within a kilometre of each other......google maps sent me to the other one which was a dead end....with a caravan.

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! :-)
