Camping in Charles Darwin National Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Charles Darwin National Park, where the thrill of mountain biking, bushwalking, and wildlife watching awaits. Immerse yourself in the park's World War II history, marvel at the scenic views from the lookout platform, and enjoy a leisurely picnic amid the lush surroundings. While overnight stays under the stars aren't an option, the park's daily activities from 8am to 7pm offer a full day of exploration and discovery.

When to go

The best time to visit Charles Darwin National Park is during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is cooler and less humid. The wet season, from November to April, can bring heavy rains and potential park closures, so it's less ideal for visits. Always check the park's status before planning your trip.

Know before you go

Check the park's open status by calling 08 8999 4555 before your visit.
Wear a hat, protective clothing, and sunscreen, and apply insect repellent with DEET for a comfortable experience.
Stay hydrated by carrying plenty of water, especially during warm days.
Secure your valuables and lock your vehicle to prevent theft.
Remember, drones are not permitted in the park, and pets are restricted to sealed roads and carparks.
