We are heading to Darwin in the next 2-3 weeks we are at alice springs at the moment staying at temple bar caravan park nice park some work being done around the park $21 per night plus power .
But my question is is there any free or low cost camping in or around Darwin that we can stay at as we are travelling to a budget , we are pretty much self contained as we have shower toilet and generator on hand any advice would be very much appreciated
Cheers
Win and Tim

Hi Win,

There was a thread here a few days ago that contains a comment suggesting that accommodation in Darwin is both tight and expensive ATM, so I would think that any free camping (if any) would be packed solid too.
Good luck.

Val.

Have a look in the Places section. The Tumbling Waters CP was quite good but its a fair while since we stayed there. Have a look here

Cheers,

Hi Win,
Very expensive here in Darwin Free Spirit in excess of $49.00 per night but not a bad park,
Discovery a mess at present due construction for FIFO around $38.00 per night these are for powered sites.
Road out to Gunn Point was extremely bad a couple of weeks ago.
Often see people parked up at some of the boat ramps probably going fishing early.
also the old ww11 air strips such as Strauss Airstrip on the Highway just before Noonamah
often have people stopped to have a rest.
You could try Dundee Beach caravan park but its a good two hour run from Darwin
