Mardukal campground (one)

Along with its neighbour, Mardukal two, this seasonal campsite has all the facilities you need in a comfortable base to explore Kakadu.

There’s no need to book ahead as it is operated on a first-come, first-served basis. The on-site campground manager will collect your camping fees.

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.
