There is a fair sized community of permanent residents that occupy most of the prime sites around the amenities and their setup, with annexes and cars, extends past their designated areas. The park needs maintenance and a general tidy up. Dryers were not working in... More

We stayed at the cabin. It was decent and clean, and free of ants/ insects even though it is the wet season. Further away from Darwin but close to Palmerston. Takes at least half hour to drive to Darwin, so probably not ideal if you have affairs in the city. Quiet location. Plenty of birds roaming on the camp ground.... More

On checking into the park with our caravan we found the ladies in the office rude and abrubt. we were given... More

We spoke to some cleaners and explained the situation. Cleaners said let him sleep we will do your cabin last, stated there would not... More

We originally were going to stay at another Big 4 park but it lost its BIG 4 rating so we went to Howards Springs. It is a little further out of town than I would have liked about 22 klms ok for us as we have a car but there were a few people there that didn’t and I imagine... More

We took our van here during our honeymoon and stayed for 3 weeks. The only bad point I would say would be that whilst the birdlife was lovely....they did tend to poo on the roof of the van! We even had a pet possum who visited us most nights and I hand fed banana and apple with a little honey.... More

The establishment wasn't that bad at first glance but the staff were horribly unfriendly. We were in a street facing cabin and the noise was really bad. The bus stop is right in front of our cabin and this was very disturbing. The cabin was tiny and would probably have been ok for a night but we stayed for a... More
