Which Caravan Park in Darwin ???

pick them in order of what you think best then see if they actually have room, most "may" be full at this time of the year so you may not get what you want ......

Try Lee Point Resort caravan park, We are here at the moment plenty of room.
Because it is getting hotter the park is thinning out.

We are currently staying at Free Spirit Resort on Stuart Highway. We can fully recommend this park. There are plenty of sites available, lots of amenities which are kept very clean, three pools, jumping pillow etc for the children. The sites are grassed and there is plenty of water. We have also stayed at the Big 4 in Howard Springs a few weeks ago before visiting Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks but think Free Spirit wins out hands down. By the name we have not been bothered by any road noise at all.

Also consider Shady Glen Tourist Park if you are running out of options.

We stayed there in July 2010. It was the park of last resort for us as we couldn't get in anywhere else. There were a couple of caravan parks that don't take bookings. You just line up in the morning a hope to get a spot. I don't like that concept so Shady Glen it was.

By now (Late August) Operation Pitch Black, an Air Force exercise should be finished and the Darwin Show should be done and dusted so noise shouldn't be a problem. Apart from these factors and a quirky time for cleaning amenities, the park was clean and tidy, the amenities were acceptable, the sites were smallish, it had a nice shaded pool and it is close to most things. Our site was not shady but many other were. Given we were a late booking they probably didn't have many sites to offer. The sand flies were especially friendly with my wife but disliked me. I would be happy stay there again knowing what the park was like last time. It was clean, had adequate amenities, and was not run down which are the criteria I judge parks by.

HI 4HappyCampers

I am a Darwin resident. The RAAF are still doing military exercises. Trust me, that spots close to the airport such as Shady Glen will drive you insane as it is directly under the flight path. Yes, you can hear the planes all over Darwin, but it is a lot worse near the airport.

Lee Point caravan park is near the beach, close to major shopping centre and far away enough from the airport to escape the worst of it and still 15 min from town. I can't vouch for the Howard Springs park.

The tourist are starting to thin out as it has been getting on the warm side in the last week or so. Choice will be on your side compared to say a few weeks ago.

In any case, hope you have a nice stay, and welcome to Darwin.
