Mardukal campground (one)
Important COVID-19 update – Visitor restrictions
COVID-19 safety measures remain in place at Kakadu National Park. The Northern Territory Government has implemented a number of health directions to keep the community safe.
It is important for travellers to keep up to date with the COVID-19 situation in Australia as it is continually evolving. Read more.
NT Health also encourages visitors to the NT to protect themselves against mosquitoes due to the presence of Japanese encephalitis.
There’s no need to book ahead at our campgrounds as they operate on a first-come, first-served basis, and the on-site campground manager will collect your camping fees.
Along with its neighbour, Mardukal two, this seasonal campsite has all the facilities you need in a comfortable base to explore Kakadu.
The managed campground is about 6 km from Cooinda and is a great staging ground for day trips to the Jim Jim and Mary River regions or to launch your boat and go fishing.
Here you can enjoy encounters with Kakadu’s wildlife – agile wallabies are abundant during the day and there are large colonies of bats nearby in the evening.
The Kungardun walk and Mardukal Billabong walk offer opportunities to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Fishers can use the boat ramp to access Mardukal Billabong, where barramundi and saratoga are often biting.
