Remote Road Trips: Your RV Adventure Beyond the Blacktop

As a seasoned road tripper, you've no doubt covered many of the main highways … so why not go a bit more remote? Here are some road trips that will get you well and truly off-grid.


Remote road trips for RVs: 4WD adventures & off-grid camping in Australia's Outback

Arnhem Way (7-9 days)

Considered one of Australia's last unspoilt areas, Arnhem Land is home to some of the country's most pristine beaches and is steeped in Indigenous culture. 

Begin your journey along the Central Arnhem Road, 50 kilometres south of Katherine, stopping at Barunga and Wugularr (Beswick). Arrive in Nhulunbuy in time for a sunset drink at the Gove Boat Club, and spend the next week exploring East Arnhem's beaches, lookouts, 4WD trails, wetlands and secluded walking tracks. Connect with Aboriginal culture on a locally guided tour, or join a fishing charter to tackle some of the world's best fishing and try to catch a Million Dollar Fish. You'll require a permit from the Northern Land Council before heading into Arnhem Land.
