We stayed here with our 18 foot caravan for 3 nights as we explored the area and it was the most perfect stay! Tynan was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable & professional. The site was immaculate and we loved having water and a fire pit on our site plus being surrounded by beautiful scenery! Nearby barramundi farm, Berry Springs and the Tavern were great! 0 negatives here and would 100% stay again!

Booked a bush camp advertised as "peaceful,tranquil,private" only to have a tractor start/park up less than 40m from my camp followed by loud noises each & all morning & engine belt squealing. lt was confusing that host messages guests about noisy bats at night but not about the tractor activity, would expect this on a farm stay & or if host informed you they're presently demolishing large sections of bush on the campground, contradicts the camp description... I was looking for a bunch of peace & quite to recharge before the next job, initially put up with it not making a fuss, figured I'd leave a positive but honest review but the checkout situation earnt a non-positive review. Host made a fuss about me checking out earlier than the check/o time so they could accommodate the next booking who wanted early checkin, host said 'they'll be fine to wait for you if you're still packing up', I was already packed up (basic set up, campervan) but was planning to leave close to 12 & utilise the morning I'd paid for to get things done. Got pushed out over an hour before 12. I'm a well seasoned traveller who's spent years travelling & working on the road all over this country, this type of situation is unheard of, there are some really good hosts and camps out there, I've stayed & worked on many of them, the place itself was ok, it was the misleading description, the guest management & interpersonal shortcomings with the checkout situation that sullied the experience.

We loved camping at Parsons Springs camp in our 21 ft caravan. It was a lovely peaceful rural setting. Great bird life for twitchers.. We stayed on 2 seperate occasions in different sites during our visit to the NT. We found it a great base to explore Darwin and surrounding areas. Thank you Tynan it was a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this camp to everyone travelling.

Not for us in a swag! Maybe better in a van or a rooftop! Nothing nice about it! There’s a fire pit, but then a huge area that was burnt out from a fire in the ground! The smell of the bats was horrendous!

We loved staying at Parson Springs Bush Stay. We had two campervans and we stayed at Campsite 2. Tynan was super friendly and welcoming! The site was really peaceful and beautiful. The site was really big and spacious so would be great for a bigger group of people too.

This is a great campsite, and Tynan (and little Wilton) are lovely hosts. We stayed 2 nights in Campsite 1, which had ample space for multiple tents if travelling with a group, great shady spots, and plenty of cool, clear, tasty water in a tank for washing and drinking. The site is close enough to Berry Springs Tavern to be convenient, and even closer to the Springs themselves, but far enough away to be comfortable and quiet. With only 3 camp sites on the large property, there's plenty of privacy and amazing flora and fauna to enjoy. The property is dog friendly, which is also a plus for us.
