SELF DRIVE

Self-driving to Shady Camp is relatively easy, however, does require some driving on an unsealed road. After leaving the airport, you head along the Arnhem Highway, a long smooth journey that will take you to the Point Stuart Road turnoff. After a short 40kms on Point Stuart Road, you will hit a graded dirt road, which you should follow for a further 10kms which then turns left and directly towards Shady Camp for another 15km. Shady Camp has free parking, camping, and toilet facilities.

The Finniss River is on the other side of the track, so follow the Stuart Highway, turning off at Cox Peninsula Road and then Fog Bay Road.  It’s about 1hr 40 mintues drive.

If driving from Jabiru, we recommend refuelling before leaving, as the closest petrol station is Corroboree Park Tavern. There are no petrol or store facilities at Shady Camp or close by.
