Camp Wallaby
5 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Holtze, NT
Our 10 acres is part of a larger family property bought in the early 1960s. There were no neighbours, no roads, no development, no nothing! My parents developed the property, ran livestock and to this day the property remains the same with my 94 year old mother still living on the larger part of the property with us siblings living around.

Camping near Palmerston guide
Overview
Built as a satellite city of Darwin in the 1970s, Palmerston City is one of the Northern Territory’s fastest-growing cities. At less than a half-hour drive from the capital, it’s the ideal basecamp for road-trippers and caravanners who don’t want to camp in Darwin itself. Escape the city for Palmerston camping, where you can cool off at Palmerston Water Park, stroll around Sanctuary Lakes Park, and visit the Gateway Shopping Centre, then spot crocodiles at the nearby Crocodylus Park. Once it’s time to hit the road again, you’ll have direct access to National Highway 1, from where you can head east to Kakadu National Park or south to Litchfield National Park. Campers will find plenty of options in and around Palmerston, from caravan parks and tourist parks with full hookups and family-friendly amenities to local Hipcamps ideal for self-contained campers.
