I have always liked to tour in campervans. The reason being, you are not restricted to one tour location. Within a short holiday period, you can get to see much more than you would have stuck in one location. Moreover, you cut on the hotel fees. I realized that 50% of my tour costs went to accommodation. With a campervan, you get to carry your accommodation at a small hire cost.
A road trip from Darwin to Uluru is one that would fascinate even the most pessimistic traveller. With a campervan hired in Darwin you can see more places than you would have dreamed of. I could describe more places that will definitely get you fascinated as you travel but today I will go with five. Here are five spots that will give you a journey of your lifetime.

Litchfield National Park
It’s only about 2 hours leisurely drive in you campervan to Litchfield National Park. This place will dazzle you with its magnificent natural adorations. There are a myriad of environments that are diverse for you to explore. From rugged sandstone escarpments to perennial spring-fed streams, you can enjoy a natural feel any time of the year. As if that is not enough, you can park your campervan within the park and enjoy the monsoon rainforest and numerous historic ruins. What got me more in love with the place, is the waterfalls that will be the source of the water that you will be using with your campervan.
When at Litchfield National Park you must discover the dramatic splendour of the Sandy creek falls, the Blythe homestead ruins and the lost city that is characterized by its enduring columns. Then view the two-meter high magnetic termite mounds. If you thought you knew termites, wait until you see their architectural prowess in this site. For all this, you need a campervan.
Kakadu National park
If you are interested in visiting one of Australia’s largest national parks, then you should take your campervan to Kakadu National park. If you are able to spend some time in this location, maximize on the bush life. Kakadu National park is a world heritage park that is located past the Adelaide and Mary River wetlands only a few hours east of Darwin. The rugged escapement will be ideal for a revitalising stay within the Park. Explore and learn the Aboriginal rock art while at the site.
There are plenty of places to stay within the park, but by going with campervan hire from Darwin you can pretty much make your mind up on the day where you would like to stay for the night.

The drive of your life from Darwin
Because you have a campervan, a north west arc drive through the Savannah way to Broome will be one of the experiences that you will regret not taking. With your campervan, you can explore the many marvels that adorn the journey. Most of the sceneries that you will experience are natural wonders exclusive to Australia that will make you wonder why you didn’t grab a campervan and do this tour years ago. You can park anywhere and settle in to enjoy nature. The good thing with these places is that water is regularly available. I mean fresh clean and clear natural water.
The Katherine region
If you choose to drive south of Darwin, you will find yourself in Katherine region. What you get at the Katherine region is nature at its best. Katherine region hosts a vast network of rivers, escarpments, and gorges. These majestic sceneries sprawl the plains in the cattle stations. You will find a number of national parks and game reservesin the area. With your campervan, you can move around the natural scenes with little effort and unlimited ability to get all that the region has to offer.
Ayes Rock/ Uluru
Continue south and you can get to Uluru. Home of the worlds most recognized natural icons. The miracle of the region is the large sandstone formation. With your campervan, you can get to see the Ayers rock appearing to change its colour. This amazing natural monolith is the single biggest in the world. With the sunset and sunrise comes a myriad of shades of red that fascinates thousands of tourists every year. By having your own vehicle you can also visit some of the nearby attractions like Kings Canyon and the Olgas. While you are there ensure that you visit the cultural centre because there is a lot to learn.

A Darwin campervan hire can be one of the most free and wondrous experiences a traveller can ever have. The ability to go where you want, when you want is something that is hard to organise any other way in a strange country. If you are heading to Darwin and the Nothern Territory of Australia it is highly recommended to hire a campervan and see the country the way you see fit.
