Walkabout Lodge & Campground

Walkabout Lodge & Campground in Nhulunbuy is a proper spot for travellers wanting a roof or a tent pitch in the NT’s far north-east. It’s not flash but it’s solid enough, with cabins and powered sites available. The booking is by request, so you’ll want to sort that before you turn up, especially in the dry season when things fill up.

The campground is on Matthew Flinders Way, handy enough for getting into town or heading out to the nearby beaches and national parks. Expect the usual outback quirks – flies in the wet season and basic facilities, but it’s a reliable base if you’re exploring Arnhem Land or just passing through.
