Maguk campground
Bush camping at its best, Maguk offers quiet surrounds a short walk from one of Kakadu’s most popular plunge pools.
This is the perfect place to stay before heading off for a day of waterplay in Maguk’s stunning plunge pools. Reach the pools via a 1 km walk through lush monsoon rainforest and across a rocky creek bed.
Then head back to camp when you’re ready for a feed and a Kakadu sunset!
Be Crocwise: Swimming
- Ensure you observe all safety signs, and be aware that whenever you are near water in the park, there is a risk of crocs!
- Kakadu has Crocodile Management Zones to minimise risk to humans. Even in these zones you should be cautious.
- Crocodile warning signs and Crocodile Management Zones are not found everywhere.
