Weekend Trip to Deckabout Dundee

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.

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!

Sensational spot. If you want to get away from the crowd that I saw at Caravan park, this is the spot. Perfect to let dog run free. The outdoor shower was amazing, lots of pressure and easily adjusted. Stuart was great, he went out of his way to take me for a drive and show me places to see and fish Highly recommend!!!

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!

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 absolutely loved Deckabout Dundee. The outside toilet and shower were very well done. The deck with fans was incredible and we loved spending the afternoon there reading. Well thought out with the fire pit and big couch. Great trampoline for kids. Power and water access was great for our caravan. Almost don’t want to share about this awesome gem as we want it all to ourselves! We will definitely be back again! Angelique was great with communication as well! Thanks for hosting us!
