Ellengowan Retreat. 190 Threadfin Road, Dundee Downs, Northern Territory. Ellengowan is a new and ongoing venture to provide visitors with a private, peaceful and relaxing camping experience set amongst 30 acres with walking trails throughout, located an hour and a half drive from Darwin city. The property backs onto the Mackenzie Arm of Bynoe Harbor locally known as Six Pack Creek and the public boat ramp just a 5 minute drive away from the campground, perfect for launching your boat for a day on the water. Our central campground features three powered and several unpowered camping sites all within easy access to the ablution block with hot showers, camp kitchen with a gas BBQ and fridge, communal fire pit, fenced spa pool and shaded picnic area. There is a designated boat wash area and a large stainless steel bench for cleaning your catch from the famous Bynoe Harbour and surrounding estuaries. The Nightjar Site hosts an airconditioned vintage van in a private area for the convenience of those wanting to hop in the car and 'go bush' or those extending their day out on the water and want to stay a night or two. We've got you covered with a limited selection of goods for sale including ice, fishing tackle and insect repellents. We love being close to nature and to enjoy our local native flora and fauna, where the lower section of the property has not seen fire for many years and boasts some very tall cycad, sand palms and many other species of native trees accessed by the designated walking trails. Don't forget your binoculars to view the variety of native birds species seen on the property. With some on the endangered list. We suggest guests bring along their favourite 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' We have equipped our sites with recycled oil lights which not only create a cozy atmosphere but one that's naturally less attractive to insects in the camping areas. Our main camping season runs from April to September but we warmly welcome off-season bookings as well.

Surrounded by native bush and irrigated gardens, makes this a private site with the convenience of being close to all amenities of the campgrounds. Suitable for single vehicles or small trailers as reversing in can be a problem for the novice navigating the trees.

They are quite a private bird, so if luck prevails, you will hear them in the distance throughout the late evening over the entire campgrounds.
