Private sites

100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.

Enjoy our tropical, secluded oasis and wake up to the sounds of native bird life each morning. As seen on The Feel Good Family season 4 ep. 102 and season 8 ep. 242. Conveniently located, we're a 30 minute drive from Darwin CBD , 15 minutes from two major shopping centres, 1 hour from Litchfield National Park , 1.5 hours from Kakadu National Park, 20 minutes from the public dump point, and only 5 minutes from the local IGA, chemist and post office, and the family friendly Howard Springs Nature Reserve and excellent pine forest mountain bike trails. We have only two sites, to give you great privacy and space. The sites are level and grassed, with dedicated water and power access. You are welcome to share our refreshing plunge pool. Wander the yard to enjoy the gardens or spot small lizards and frogs, pick fresh herbs, tropical flowers. We have fantastic recycling and compost facilities, in a small effort to reduce our collective impact on the environment. Kids will love having plenty of space to run, ride and explore. There are small lizards and frogs to be hunted, a kids cubby and kitchen, sandpit, swings and a climbing frame (all to be used at your own risk). You will need to be fully self-contained with your own camping toilet/shower. No pets please.

From the minute we drove through the gates, and seen the tropical gardens and lush green grass we in love with this place!! Kristy, Clint and the kids are amazing hosts.. they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome! Kids had a blast with endless gardens to explore, the cubby house and making amazing new friends! In the words of my 4 year old son this place is Epic 😀 You won’t be disappointed with your stay at Howard Springs!! If it’s privacy your after you have it! Or If it’s meeting other people and enjoying a drink and a chat around a fire you have it!! Thanks Kristy and Clint, can’t wait to get back

Site 1 - Howard Springs Haven

Howard Spring Retreat has been a well organised stay for us. Food scraps are recycled to the chooks, all other rubbish and cans placed in their individual bins. It is a tranquil and private setting. We would definitely return. Thank you to this family for hosting us for 6 nights.

A little oasis just outside of Darwin City. Nice shady sites and small pool to cool off in when feeling hot. Great local shops nearby. Hosts are lovely. Would definitely recommend
