Darwin is the gateway to the amazing Kakadu National Park. There are many popular waterfront areas with several beaches and green areas like Bicentennial Park. While sightseeing, make sure you visit the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, displaying Southeast Asian and Pacific art. For outdoor enthusiasts, there are some good fishing and mountain biking spots. We are located on a 5-acre block on the edge of town. The top 2 acres are laid out in a tropical garden setting, with the other 3 acres set out with native Darwin plants visited by lots of native animals and birds. You'll feel like you're a whole world away yet you will only be 2 minutes from the supermarket, 5 minutes from a large shopping centre, and 15 minutes from Darwin's CBD. We are a small boutique site and only have currently 3 sites on the 5 acres. Your site is private and you will be able to enjoy your stay without interference from others. IMPORTANT: Each site can accommodate 2 adults MAX. If you have 3 or 4 adults, you will need to book both sites. Please note Pool site is open all year round and has permanent cover. Other sites are dependant on weather and access.

Bush Site 2 NO Power Water Yes
Amazing Place!
Can’t fault The Urban Retreat. Peter was an amazing host, welcomed us and showed us around his awesome property. What he has done with the place is remarkable, with so many trees and animal life around. The pool was a life saver in the hot weather (for us) and the toilets are the nicest you will see at a campsite. The location is better than any of the caravan parks and you get a ton more space, as we couldn’t see any of the other people staying there from our spot. Peter was very welcoming and friendly and if we are ever back in Darwin we would 100% be back! Thanks for having us!

Ficus Longifolia Site
Peaceful spot in a central location, perfect if you don't want the hustle and bustle of a big caravan park.

Bamboo Site
Great caamp
Peter was a great host. I didn't complete the booking correctly and when I showed up with a larger van than I indicated Peter shuffled things to accommodate me, thanks Pete. The place is well kept and an abundance of native gardens. Water and power available as well. I would recommend this camp.
