Prices (Our investment)

Our prices reflect the unique access we provide to visitors at Blue Mud Bay and the high costs we incur operating in remote Australia.

We have invested many decades of effort to making Dholuwuy a comfortable campground with a safe water connection, shower and toilet facilities and simple online bookings.

We invest the revenue from your visit back into the campground through local employment payments and maintaining campsite infrastructure; as well as supporting local cultural activities that keep our people and Country strong in our homelands.

BGAC initiated cancellation

BGAC may need to cancel bookings at Dholuwuy due to cultural or biosecurity reasons. BGAC will inform affected visitors and offer a full refund (including the booking fee).

BGAC may terminate visitor bookings during their stay and direct visitors to leave the campground immediately, if a visitor:

  • breaches any legislation or local laws;
  • breaches campground rules; or
  • causes annoyance or nuisance to others; or
  • behaves unacceptably (including drunken or uncontrolled behaviour, offensive language, malicious or negligent use of facilities, theft or any other form of behaviour deemed inappropriate by BGAC).

No refund will be provided in these circumstances.

Bad weather

Unless Dholuwuy is closed by the BGAC or the region is closed by the NT Government, no refunds will be provided due to bad weather. Please plan ahead accordingly!
