Barra on Bastin offers a peaceful camping experience with plenty of space and welcoming hosts. Tim, the owner, is frequently mentioned for his friendliness and hospitality, often sharing home-grown produce with guests. The property is well-equipped, featuring power and water hookups, a pool, and clean facilities, although the shower is cold. Some reviews noted occasional noise from neighboring dogs, but overall, campers appreciated the quiet bush setting close to Darwin's attractions.

RELAX ON BASTIN 2
Tim's site had good amenities and was secure. We stayed there for 3 nights, not far from Darwin. Have already recommended this site to other people.

Very handy to get to all the places we wanted to see. Very quiet except for one night that the neighbours dogs barked all night. Shower, toilet and washing machine. We hooked up to power and water. Shopping centres very close by. The urge to water everything and keep trees alive was strong but wasn’t sure if water was in short supply. Have already recommended to fellow travelers.

RELAX ON BASTIN 2
Great vibe and Tim was very generous, providing some home grown produce for campers to share. Bathroom was great - showers are cold and only one person can use the combined shower & toilet at a time. But we didn’t have to wait.

RELAX ON BASTIN 2
My family and I really enjoyed relaxing at Barra on Bastin for 6 nights. Tim was really friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had a nice spot with power and water. The location was fantastic, out of the Darwin business, but really close to good convenient shopping and nice sites like Berry Springs / Territory Wildlife Park, Howard Springs Reserve, Crocodylus Park etc. We’d definitely stay again! Thanks Tim 👍🏻

Really welcoming host who has lots of room for a few visitors. Very peaceful. 30 minutes out of Darwin, but a good base.
