Out of the way Kakadu

Why not go down the old Jim Jim rd - the original track into the cattle station. This will take you into the back way. When you get to the South Aligator crossing take the track north going into the heart of Kakadu before crossing the river- if the gate is open. I have been there a couple of times and camped. Good fishing with a boat. Not many people go that way. Just a few fishermen. I towed my boat in there.
The old Jim Jim track is just past Annabarroo.

Sounds good, is the gate a problem?

We've just completed Kakadu. We prefer out of the way quiet spots. The best one we stayed in was at Maguk. 12$ per night. 1st night we were the only ones there. Second night there was about 6 others. There are really only 8-10 sites there and they are well spaced out and private. There are drop toilets. (Bit stinky). But hey it's a toilet with paper supplied. Worth the walk up to the plunge pool.
The road in is not for "shiny campers". Its very corrugated and Sandy in patches with a rocky creek (dry) crossing. We got our lifted Jayco Freedom In No problems - even made a mistake and drove right out to the start of the walking track with the van on through deep sand. The sign is missing that points to the campground but further up the track is a sign that says "camp in marked bays" or something like that. Just look up any tracks you see and you will find it. Very nice. Nothing but a toilet and fire pits.
