Camp at 17 Mile Falls Camp in the Top End region. Camping in the Territory is a genuine outback experience — campfires (where permitted), wildlife encounters, and the kind of silence you can't find in the city. 247km from Darwin. Bring firewood (collection banned in most parks) and plenty of water.
