When it comes to unforgettable glamping experiences in Australia, the Northern Territory stands apart with its vast red deserts, ancient rock formations, and rich Aboriginal culture. It’s a place where families can step into a world of adventure while still enjoying the comfort of glamping.

At Pebble Stacker, we know that traveling with kids means finding the right balance between adventure and convenience. Our thoughtfully designed products – from the Cotton Nap Mat that keeps little ones cozy during rest breaks, to the versatile 3-in-1 Family Sleeping Bag and the spacious Linen Weekender Bag – make every journey smoother for parents and more enjoyable for children.

Here’s our guide to glamping with kids in the Northern Territory, including family-friendly glamping stays and outdoor programs your little explorers will love.

1. Kakadu National Park – Nature and Culture Combined

Kakadu is a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with wetlands, waterfalls, and ancient Aboriginal rock art. Families can stay at eco-glamping sites like Cooinda Lodge’s Dreaming@HomeBillabong and enjoy stargazing under the open sky.
Family activity tip: Join an Aboriginal cultural tour where kids can learn traditional stories and try hands-on activities like painting or bush tucker tasting.

2. Kings Canyon – Outback Wilderness with Comfort

Located between Uluru and Alice Springs, Kings Canyon offers dramatic landscapes and a true outback feel. Families can book a luxury tent at Kings Canyon Resort, where you’ll sleep surrounded by desert cliffs.
Family activity tip: Take the shorter Kings Creek Walk (kid-friendly) and spot native wildlife. At sunset, gather together and watch the canyon walls glow.

3. Uluru and Kata Tjuta – Iconic Red Centre Adventures

Few places capture kids’ imagination like Uluru. While camping is limited near the rock, family glamping is possible at Ayers Rock Resort, which offers comfortable safari-style tents.
Family activity tip: Kids will love the free Indigenous storytelling sessions and guided stargazing experiences. For a memorable family night, join a camel ride across the desert.

4. Nitmiluk Gorge – Riverside Relaxation

For families who love water activities, Nitmiluk Gorge (Katherine Gorge) is a must. Stay in eco-lodges or glamping tents right by the river.
Family activity tip: Take a gentle boat cruise through the gorge or rent a canoe for a short paddle with older children. Many guided tours also include fascinating stories about the Jawoyn people.

5. Arnhem Land – A Special Adventure

This region requires permits but offers some of the most authentic cultural experiences in Australia. Some eco-camps now provide family-friendly safari tents for those seeking a deeper connection with the land.
Family activity tip: Try guided fishing tours, traditional crafts, and wildlife spotting – a rare adventure your children will never forget.

The NT’s climate can be hot and unpredictable, so packing smart is key. Our Kids Beach Poncho is quick-drying and perfect for water play at gorges or pools. For nap times on the go, the Cotton Nap Mat offers a soft, portable solution. And for parents, the Linen Weekender Bag carries all the family essentials in style.
