I wish we could have stayed longer. Pete was an amazing host and the property was really nice and not too far from Darwin.
The bathroom and shower were beyond all expectations and I don't have a single complaint.
If I'm ever in Darwin again, I know where I'll be staying!

Beautiful campsite and Peter was a great host.
A lot of time, love and effort has gone into creating a small nature haven in the suburbs of Darwin, with lots of native trees and the wildlife that they attract.
Peter was very friendly and gave us lots of advice on what to do, where to eat and drink etc.
I'd highly recommend staying here if looking to camp in the Darwin area

Our stay here was great, Peter has thought of everything possible which made it a very accomodating and easy stay. Plenty of privacy with all of the native trees and work he's put in. The pool is also a great bonus!!

Lovely place, really a green oasis, very close to the busy downtown, but you feel in (a very well organized and beautiful part of) the bush!!! The swimming pool was great, amenities clean , host friendly ... What more to ask.

Pete's place is a little oasis in busy Darwin. I absolutely loved staying at this campsite it has everything you need - beautiful and clean amenities, a pool to cool down and the sites are very spacious and offer privacy. Pete's enthusiasm about his garden and the wildlife is beautiful and I appreciated how much work and effort he put into building such a nice place. Thank you Pete, will definitely stay again if in the area!

Terrific stay. Peter was a wealth of knowledge on the area, very friendly and helpful. His development of Urban Retreat is a credit to him. Private sites with power and water. Spotless bathrooms and cooling pool. Will definitely be back

The site we had like many around us was very quite, unable to see other campers , if your van is set up with batteries and water then you are able to chose a no power/water site , the toilet and shower blocks x 2 are kept very clean , washing machines x 2, also available, Peter the host was very helpful taking rubbish away almost daily , making sure all was ok . The location dependent on Traffic was 15 to 22 mins to Darwin city . $33 by uber .At all time we felt safe as the place is fully secure with 6 foot fencing and electric gate . If coming to Darwin and enjoy camping and want to be close to the City i highly recommended this place , price was also very good .👍👍👍

This Hip Camp is called an Urban Retreat because that is exactly what is!.. its a quiet secluded oasis in the middle of urban Leander, with sites surrounded by an array of trees that our host Peter has planted. The ammenities are motel quality, with a pool handy for cold dips on a hot day. And if need to know where to go or what to do, Peter is only too happy to share advice. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly.

What a great spot. Felt like we were staying with a friend. Nothing a bother. Very clean amenities and easy access to everything. Felt very safe knowing a locked gate is there. The property is full of trees and paths to keep everyone private. Extending our stay was not a problem and the communication with Pete was friendly and helpful. We would certainly come back. Love ❤️ love 🤎 love 💚

The best big rig friendly camping in Northern Territory guide
Where to go
Darwin
Darwin is the gateway to the Litchfield and Mary River national parks, where you can pitch a tent along the riverside, spot wildlife on a bushwalk, then cool off in a natural swimming hole. For the best of both worlds, stop at one of the city’s beachfront campsites and explore the parks on a day trip.
Kakadu
Cruise among crocs, uncover Aboriginal rock art sites, and swim in natural waterholes at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. Bush campgrounds provide an opportunity to get back to nature, while the park has over 30 marked rainforest hiking trails.
Alice Springs
Venture to Alice Springs, Australia’s Red Centre, to hike around King’s Canyon, hear Dreamtime stories of Aboriginal heritage, and lose yourself in the endless desert landscapes. Adventurers can roll out a swag beneath the desert stars and wake early to watch the sunrise over Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Katherine
South of Darwin, the Katherine River is flanked by rocky gorges and savannah grasslands where you can hike, camp, or kayak away from crowds. In Nitmiluk National Park, you can also soak in natural thermal springs, visit ancient caves, or swim at Edith Falls.
Arnhem Land
Campers venturing to the northernmost corner of Arnhem Land are rewarded with deserted beaches, rocky promontories, and hidden waterfalls. You need a permit to visit the traditional lands of the Yolngu people and a four-wheel drive is best for getting around, but it’s worth the effort to discover one of Australia’s most undeveloped pockets of wilderness.
