I had a rather frustrating experience at Free Spirit. While the location has potential with large spaces for camping, the booking process and customer service left much to be desired. The staff seemed unresponsive, and the issues I faced during check-in were disappointing. However, there was a standout experience with one staff member who provided excellent service during our school camp. The facilities were basic but adequate for a short stay, while the cleanliness of the allocated sites was an initial concern.

The rooms we ended up in were spacious and cool once we were relocated, but the initial sites were quite dirty.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort! It was the perfect escape after a rugged trip in the campervan. The cabin I stayed in was clean and comfortable, and I appreciated the air conditioning immensely. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially at the Bistro, but I noticed some room size discrepancies. Overall, the resort is a great family-friendly option with plenty of amenities to keep everyone entertained.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. While the cleanliness and location were definitely highlights, the service was lacking when it came to responsiveness. The pool area was enjoyable, but it was often overcrowded, making it difficult to fully take advantage of it. Additionally, the facilities needed some attention, especially the laundry situation. Overall, it offers potential, but improvements are needed in certain areas.

I had a fantastic time at this resort, surrounded by well-maintained gardens and numerous amenities that kept my family entertained. The spacious sites we booked had ample room for our camper, and the staff were exceptionally helpful throughout our stay. However, while the facilities were great, our experience at the bistro was slightly marred by the proximity of the smoking area, which was quite unpleasant. Overall, the value for money at $35 a night for a powered site was incredibly reasonable, but some areas could use improvement.

Rooms

The sites are large and well-maintained, with plenty of shade and space for our camper, but the lack of a private bathroom was a drawback.

The location was conveniently central to major attractions, allowing us to explore Darwin and beyond easily. However, the rooms lacked the maintenance and comfort we expected, with several issues that detracted from our overall comfort. Additionally, the service interactions were a bit hit or miss, which was disappointing.
