Aaok Lakes Resort and Caravan Park

Seriously, find out for yourself and be amazed. Inread the reviews before I booked and again before we arrived. Some people! We stayed in our Transporter van. Under the shade of the large trees. We had access to power, water, and bathrooms. Perfect. Now some other reviewers mentioned oh tjere is a bar and you can eat there if you want that. I am telling you to WANT that. Happy hour, $5, select drinks. The meals cooked by the managers, bloody good. We drove around to a few pubs today who had chefs and whatnot, and the dinner we had last night, a simple burger and barra and chips, beat them all. There is a pool, 2 camp kichens and lots of shade. There are sites that have dirt, hello, where are we? Grass is the excellent exception. Live music as well. The location is minutes from Berry Springs pools and the Wildlife park. We drive 18 minutes to Humpty Do. Come and stay and park your bias at the door and experience everything that is on offer here, starting with the great management team.

I booked a small queen bed cabin. I arrived just as the restaurant was closing. They very pleasantly offered to cook me Barra and Chips before they closed up, and I had a couple of beers at the bar. The staff were nothing short of amazing. Super friendly and accomodating. After dinner I went to the cabin. It was small but nice and clean, and had everything I needed. These are Donga style rooms and the person in the adjoining room was very noisey at night and early morning. Next time I’ll book a family room to avoid that thing common wall. Will definitely go back.

What a cool place to stay! Country hospitality at its best, and even better, a Sunday Roast! Big beautiful house and verandah as reception and restaurant We had a great spot by the pond with the beautiful lilies , and spent sometime bird watching. Coldest pool so far in the Territory, colder than Florence Falls! Great hospitality and nice to find an old school shower block

We stayed 3 nights in a compact van room which from the outside really doesn’t impress, looking like a little windowless box attached to another but it wasn’t quite as bad as expected inside (there is actually a window). For what it was, it was kept pretty clean although looked a bit tired. However, the linen could definitely do with being upgraded. The navy patterned sheets did have some marks/staining and looked a bit washed out. There’s a decent enough area to prepare basic food with a fridge, toaster and kettle. The bathroom had what you needed and some mini toiletries were provided. Our sliding bathroom door got stuck on more than one occasion though. The small outside area has 2 plastic chairs but we didn’t use it. There is a buffet dinner available on site but again, we didn’t use this. A big tip would be to avoid using the outdoor light on your van unless you want a bug infestation when you open the van door at night. This accommodation I think would be more suited for worker accommodation than travellers and maybe more 1 person than 2. Alternatively, this did look like a nice park for everyone who had their own caravans!

It’s obvious that the park caters for the work crews that stay here. I understand that this is probably their main income stream but the old dongers sitting on Bessa blocks and old style cabins spread throughout the park amongst the van parking do not make for a nice look. Park appears a bit run down but amenities clean and plenty of rubbish bins available. Salt water pool. Sites very small and dusty and didn’t find a powered one you could stay hooked up to. Quiet enough, apart from arguing drunken neighbours, not the parks fault. Lots of mozzies. Location is close to the small town that has most things. Reports of nice meals served here but we didn’t eat at the restaurant. Office and restaurant inaccessible for the disabled due to the amount of steep steps to both. Laundry available. Gas bottle refills available.

Excellent value in converted container with ensuite air con kitchen and double bed. Very clean, value price. We arrived at 7pm straight off our flight, picked up our hire car and arrived at Berry Springs. Very nice friendly family owners. We had dinner sitting on the homestead balcony restaurant which is lit up with fairy lights and is relaxing on a hot summer night. Barramundi with salad and chips and a beer/wine was perfect. We were away without fuss in the morning. We did another overnighter after our Kakadu jaunt and enjoyed a great traditional Aussie Sunday night roast. Thanks Berry Springs. we loved the experience.
