Top Waterfront Caravan Parks in the Northern Territory

With summer holidays right around the corner, if you haven’t started thinking about your next getaway, start now! With warmer days, summer is a great time of year to enjoy a caravan and camping holiday – perfect for days by the water. Here’s why we think your next adventure should be spent at one of Northern Territory’s amazing waterfront caravan holiday parks! 

Why choose a waterfront caravan holiday park: 

Australia is home to some of the most spectacular beaches and stunning waterways in the world – and what better way to truly appreciate it than in a beautiful cabin next to thermal pools or parking your van in a powered site metres from the sun, surf and sand? 

When you think of a waterfront camping holiday, think of: 

• sunshine-filled days spent on the beach 
• morning sunrise or evening sunset over the ocean 
• spreading your toes in the sand 
• toasting marshmallows around the campfire at night 
• digging into a fish & chips meal on the foreshore 
• the sound of crashing waves 
• endless fun activities – fishing, kayaking, swimming, beach volleyball
• vitamin d and the fresh air 
• sleeping under the stars 
• quality time spent with friends and family 

A bonus? Caravan holiday parks can offer more than just a waterfront location. They also offer amazing amenities to make your holiday unforgettable – indoor games rooms, communal BBQs and firepits, jumping pillows, swimming pools with waterslides. Plus, they have accommodation options to suit everyone regardless of your preference.
