Here we go again, another caravan park bites the dust.

Yes you should book ahead if you are going to stay in Darwin in June. Try Hidden Valley or Shady Glen they are both closer to town, if you want somewhere a bit further out try The Lakes Resort.

Great thank you :)

Darwin is overflowing from late June onwards. Everyone wants to get away from the cold. We're driving from Perth to Darwin late June to mid-July, and virtually all the accommodation in Darwin - no matter what type - is nearly all fully booked.
In 2008, we made a mistake of not fully booking well ahead, and took a 10-day campervan trip around Kakadu, and down to Pine Ck and thence back to Darwin. When we got back, in late July, we very nearly had to resort to sleeping in the car, as every form of accommodation was overflowing.
We might have had a GFC, and there might be a real slowdown in the manufacturing areas of Australia - but in Darwin, nothing ever changes. You make sure you have your accommodation booked well ahead in the Winter months.

If I ever become a van manufacturer (extremely unlikely by the way) I am going to use Caravavan as the brand name. Its excellent.
