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!

This was a great stay..it was by chance we found it advertising for a space to fix our car.. Jennifer could not have done enough for us arranging our stay..we ran into some trouble needing a lift to get parts and Lochy was a great help driving us around to where we needed to go… things you need to know - it is peaceful and away from traffic noise.. there are chooks that say hello each day… the pool was loverly and refreshing and the bathroom was clean and good.. it is a bush setting and although I get eaten by midges and mossies.. I lite the coils early and never had an issue… please clean up after yourselves after you use the bathroom… it is not the hosts job to clean up after every use … thank you Jennifer and Lochy we loved staying at Strangys 🌻

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

The best camping in Berry Springs Nature Park, NT guide

Overview

About

Escaping the sweltering city heat is easy at Berry Springs Nature Park, just a 40-minute drive south of Darwin. Pack your binoculars (this is a bird-watching hotspot), your camera (the woodland trails dazzle with seasonal wildflowers), and your swimsuit (you can swim at the natural pools and creeks) and set out to explore the monsoon forests and wetlands. Berry Springs is the ideal spot for bushwalking and picnicking, but there’s no camping in the park itself. However, campers will find a selection of caravan parks, holiday parks, farm stays, and Hipcamps dotted around nearby Berry Springs and Tumbling Waters.

When to go

Time your visit to Berry Springs for the end of the wet season (March through April), when vibrant wildflowers bloom throughout the woodlands. The park is open daily year-round, but the dry season months of May through September are the best time for swimming—weather conditions often mean that it’s too dangerous to swim during the wet season.

Know before you go

Berry Springs Nature Park is set 50 kilometres south of Darwin or about a 40-minute drive along the Stuart Highway.
There’s no admission fee to visit the park.
Berry Spring facilities include restrooms, showers, picnic and barbecue areas, a free car park, and a kiosk (open from April to November only).
There are accessible restrooms and picnic areas at Berry Springs Nature Park.
