Aurora Kakadu Lodge & Caravan Park

Kakadu National Park


One of the best places to camp in town with lots of grass, trees and natural barriers between camping areas, creating a sense of privacy. This sprawling, impeccable resort/caravan park also has a lagoon-style swimming pool. Self-contained cabins sleep up to five people.

The restaurant is outdoors and overlooks the pool. The menu is limited (the word among locals is that things have improved in recent years) but dishes such as buffalo sausages are well prepared.
