Campervan, Motorhome and 4WD Hire Darwin

A drive holiday to Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory (fondly known as the NT), will treat you to colourful sunsets, diverse wildlife, beachside night markets, and national parks. Darwin's close proximity to South East Asia means that is has become a melting pot of Asian and Aboriginal cultures with an eclectic food and art scene.
Apollo’s Darwin branch is just 7.3km from the City and 9.6 kilometres from the Airport by taxi or uber. Darwin is a small city, making it easy and simple to get around.

Hire a campervan in Darwin to make the most of the great self-drive routes available in the NT. Apollo Darwin has motorhomes for hire to help you travel with the comforts of home, and 4wds to hire for adventure-seekers wishing to go offroad and tick off their bucket list. Some campgrounds can only be accessed by 4wd.

Camping is welcomed in Darwin and the Top End and also around Alice Springs and Central Australia– there are plenty of caravan parks with powered and non-powered sites and great amenities. National Parks and reserves are also equipped for campervans, many having camping areas with shower blocks and toilets.

What to do in Darwin and surrounds

Litchfield National Park is just a 1.5 hour drive from Darwin. There are some stunning waterfalls and national swimming holes.

Mary River National Park is popular for its birdlife, so take your binoculars!

Just 3 hours drive from Darwin, visit Kakadu National Park to experience wetlands, waterfalls, and Aboriginal rock paintings dating back to prehistoric times. Kakadu is nearly 20,000 square kilometres in size and is Australia’s largest National Park. For those not scared of an adventure, take a crocodile tour to see the wild crocs feed on buffalo meat, or head to the Berry Springs waterhole for a snorkel and swim.

At night take a wander through the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets where you’ll find international food stalls, crafts, and musicians, before catching the latest movie under the stars at the Deckchair Cinema.

Take your time to explore Darwin and the many adventures that can be found throughout the Northern Territory.

Where to stay in Darwin

First time in a campervan? We recommend spending your first night close by the Darwin branch at Discovery Parks - Darwin so you can get to know your new home on wheels and how to use it while still in close proximity to the branch.

Please note that international guests are required to hold an International Driving Permit along with their foreign driver licence for any travel within the Northern Territory.
