Mardugal is one of Kakadu’s main camping grounds, it is also my favourite. Small fire pits to be used primarily for cooking. Wood is easy to find. It is the middle of Kakadu. Running water, hot showers. Rubbish bins (underrated!) too.

Easy to get into, at $10pp per night, it’s a great stop.

It can get midgees though, like most of Kakadu. Smoke helps, otherwise wear light, loose fitting clothing. I swear that’s the reason for these pants.
