We loved our stay at Fruity retreat. David and his dad Les were lovely to chat to. The location was perfect and quiet and we felt it was very private. We would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again 😃

We enjoyed the seclusion in amongst the bush but whilst having a flushing loo and shower nearby if we needed it. Was very quiet no traffic noise and youre far enough away from other sites for their noise not to interrupt you too much.

Myself and my wife greatly enjoyed our stay at Faye's Green Acres. It was very shady and relaxed, and central to everything on the Cox Penninsula. We will certainly be recommending Green Acres to any friends who are looking for a place to camp. Faye is a friendly and gracious host, whom we both enjoyed meeting and whose land we look forward to camping on again in the future. My wife also loved meeting Buster (so did I).

Absolutely gorgeous property and camp ground, Faye has done an amazing job with the space and was a lovely host to have during my stay.
Buster is an absolute sweetheart, a very gentle friendly Kelpie and the best camp dog you could ask for.
Thank you! 💙🐾🏕️✨

This is an excellent Hipcamp to make home while you explore the surrounding areas. Having both potable water and power available means you still have some of the luxury and essentials normally only found in a Caravan Park. As the name implies, this Hipcamp is set in a location with an abundance of various fruit trees. We spent a glorious week here and a bonus, as the name implies, a fruity treat was left at our door on 4 occasions. Bananas, Pawpaw, Star Apple and other fruit with a name I can't recall. David's father who also lives onsite is a delight to chat with and always happy to share his knowledge. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it to other travellers seeking an affordable, and quiet camp site.

Great base for our stay in Darwin. Short drive to Darwin centre and the national parks. David and his family were very friendly, accommodating and generous with gifts of a variety of fruit grown on their land. Having water and power was a great bonus.

Rum Jungle Ridge was great! Peaceful and quiet, had the place to ourselves. We only had 1 X caravan and a couple of camper trailers but sites 1 & 2 had plenty of room for a larger group. The dogs loved it too! We'll be going back.

What an incredible camp! We are absolutely in LOVE with it! After traveling for three months from Perth to Darwin, we can confidently say this is one of our top favorites. The hot showers are such a delightful luxury! 💦😉 The fireplaces add an amazing touch, too. It's clear that it's a passion project done with so much love.

We had a fabulous stay here. What a beautuful family. Les was so interesting to chat to. The boys were very well mannered and engaging. We loved our treats of grapefruit and ochre and can't wait to plant our ochre seeds he gave us. It was a very quiet stay with no road noise and close enough to drive into town with ease.
We will certainly return if we are in the area. Thanks a million for the stay..very enjoyable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
