Obviously managed campsites require a fee. This money goes towards the governing body who look after and maintain the area. Managed campsites are usually located near generators, flushing toilets, picnic tables, cook facilities and hot water. The cost for camping in these areas sit at around AUD $10 per person per night. The fees are normally collected on site during the dry season. During the wet you need to pay in advance at the Bowali Visitor Centre.

Stray camp sites are free. However, more and more of them are starting to charge a camping fee which is approximately $5 per person per night. Here you wont find many facilities. Bush toilets and sometimes a fire pit for cooking is all thats available and if you plan on making a fire, its a good idea to collect some dead wood before you get there. Keep in mind also that most stray campsites have 4WD roads accessing them.These types of campsites are popular with Kakadu tours, so you may find yourself sharing the area with other foreigners.

Availability can be an issue during the dry season ( March - October ) which is the peak season for travellers visiting Kakadu National Park.
