Great little spot close to Darwin. Heaps of shade amongst the trees, nice clean toilet block. Only down the road from Darwin river tavern which has a great new pool to cool off in. Good communication from Georgina, would happily come back.

Was my first Hipcamp experience, was an easy process. We were lucky enough to find the perfect site under a shady tree. Easy walk to the toilet (may just need a vacant/occupied sign near the entrance so others know you are in there) with a view of the paddock and bush below. Approx 45mins to Darwin City, with plenty to see closer by.
Great communication and Georgina was very accomodating allowing us to leave a bit later in the day. Would recommend to others

Powered camp site with water hookup
Overall this place was good but it did seem a little different to the photos online. I get that wet season photos and dry season photos differ quite a bit though. It was very quiet and easy to access and only 10 mins from Berry Springs and an IGA which was great. Toilet was handy and we got a shady site but there were really only 3 with shade and we had to run a double hose to reach the water hookup. Seemed a little untidy to us and there as a bit of rubbish around. Didn’t meet the owners but they were kind enough to refund us the second night when we had to leave early. Overall, a safe and quiet stay but perhaps a bit overpriced and I think photos could reflect the property a bit better.

Great location to visit Litchfield national park, Berry Springs. Good sized sites and easy connections. Sunset from the hill was magical.
