The best camping near Humpty Doo

·

Australia might be the world leader in quirky place names, and the Northern Territory town of Humpty Doo is up there with the best. Adding a fun name to your road trip itinerary isn’t the only reason to swing by—this lively country town is also a strategic stop on the road from Darwin to Kakadu National Park. Within a 30-minute drive, you can explore the museums and stroll the beachside markets of Darwin, while an hour’s drive takes you to the waterfalls, croc-filled rivers, and Aboriginal rock art sites of Kakadu. There’s plenty to see and do in Humpty Doo, too (try saying that sentence quickly!). Highlights of “The Doo” include the Big Boxing Croc statue, bird-watching at Fogg Dam, and crocodile-watching cruises along the Adelaide River. There’s no camping in the town itself, but you’ll find options close by, ranging from bush camps for self-contained campers to tourist parks with full hookups.

Welcome to our little slice of the Territory—where the dogs run the show and we just pay the bills. Just 40 minutes from Darwin CBD and 15 minutes from Coolalinga, our peaceful 5-acre retreat is a tropical haven teeming with wildlife. You'll spot native birds flitting through the trees, a resident frill-necked lizard basking in the sun (although he is a bit shy), and be greeted by three friendly dogs who’ll likely claim you as their own. We also share our space with two gentle horses (always keen for a pat and a carrot or two), and a ginger cat who rules the indoors. We’re a young couple who’ve called the NT home since 2009, living a laid-back lifestyle and always happy to swap stories over a cold drink as the sun goes down. During your stay, you’ll have full access to power, water, our refreshing pool with spa jets, and laundry facilities. Mobile reception is excellent, and if you need WiFi, just ask—we’ve got you covered.
