Barra on Bastin offers a peaceful camping experience with plenty of space and welcoming hosts. Tim, the owner, is frequently mentioned for his friendliness and hospitality, often sharing home-grown produce with guests. The property is well-equipped, featuring power and water hookups, a pool, and clean facilities, although the shower is cold. Some reviews noted occasional noise from neighboring dogs, but overall, campers appreciated the quiet bush setting close to Darwin's attractions.

Excellent place to stay.

Very handy to get to all the places we wanted to see. Very quiet except for one night that the neighbours dogs barked all night. Shower, toilet and washing machine. We hooked up to power and water. Shopping centres very close by. The urge to water everything and keep trees alive was strong but wasn’t sure if water was in short supply. Have already recommended to fellow travelers.
