To make it even better, they are generally quite cost effective, and located near some of the most impressive water holes around. You need to be very crocodile aware in this part of the world, but its got a huge number of places you won’t want to miss.

Gunlom Falls

Lorella Springs

River camping at LorellaMany years ago, there were two places in the Northern Territory that I read about, and made mental notes of. One was the hot springs at Mataranka, and the other was Lorella Springs. We’ll call them both bucket list places, and they’ve been on our to do list for some time now.

 


Koolpin Gorge

Gunlom, Maguk, Jim Jim Falls and Ubirr are all well and truly worth the effort to get to them, but there’s one little problem. Every man and his dog knows about them, and they are heavily visited by tourists and locals especially in the dry season.


Lee and Jennys Bush Camp

Zebra Rock Mine

Camping at Zebra RockThere’s a few great spots in between Kununurra and Katherine to stop and spend a few nights, but we were a bit pushed for time and skipped many of them, choosing only to stay at Zebra Rock Mine. This is about 10km down Duncan Road, on the Northern Territory side of the border and very close to the check point itself.

 


Mt Bundy Station

Dundee Beach Holiday Park

Dundee Beach was the place we settled on, and despite hearing a few average reviews, we headed out for two nights anyway.

 


Little Roper Stock Camp

The hay bales are a great thingWikicamps and Facebook provide some epic information when it comes to finding fantastic camp sites, and Little Roper Stock Camp just out of Mataranka was one of those golden nuggets that we stumbled across, that family after family raves about.
