NT Caravan Parks

Wherever you go up north in the season it will be busy.

If you are going to Darwin in the next few months you may be there for a while if the wet season sets in any time soon.

McDonnell Ranges in Alice is a great park especially if you have kids.
Free Spirit in Darwin likewise

Badgers website has innumerable Van park reviews

Hi Shaun and Sandra

Check out Badger's Caravan Park Reviews for user reviews. Not all parks are represented as it is up to us, the users, to send in the reports.

At Alice Springs we stayed a short distance out of town at a lovely location but antiquated donga style amenities. Price was very cheap and location was lovely and quiet. See my report on Badger's for Temple Bar. Next time we came we were devastated to find they were fully booked out with show weekend coming up so stayed at an in town park and hated it.

I can't help with Darwin as the small centrally located park we stayed at has since closed.

At Mt Isa we stayed at Moondarra Accommodation Village on the western end of town. We chose it because it looked the best option for a quiet night. The park is also reviewed on my website as it gained a good score against my criteria.

Flip through the pages and I'm sure you will find something if interest even though i haven't got my travelogues for the trip to Darwin and through Queensland up on the site as yet. We much prefer remote bush camping and National Parks campgrounds to caravan parks in towns.

In Alice Springs we stayed at Wanngardi park on Ilparpa road about 8 k,s out a good quiet park Daly Waters pub park is a must and Boomerang park is o.k it is 20 k,s out of Darwin the sand flies are no problem there

Hi Shaun & Sarah
We recently spent 5 months in Alice at Stuart Caravan Park. Not flash but acceptable. No jumping castle, only small pool, no free Sunday pancakes. Amenities OK .Close to town and cheaper than some of the others. There is also a couple out of town in Ilparpa Road which I only saw from roadside. I believe they are very basic and probably cheaper than the rest but depends on what you want.

We liked G'Day Mate in Alice when we were there, friendly and helpful staff, nice park with grass (where we were) and good facilities.

Also agree with the comment above about Free Spirit in Darwin, might be a bit exy at the moment though.
