I’m just back from beautiful South Australia and an adventure on the southern hemisphere’s biggest paddle boat. It was a wonderful way to celebrate Mum’s 80th birthday with my sisters. We were able to check out some amazing, mostly free Murray River camps. My sister and I walked 9km to show off the two below!
We explored the City of Churches, and so I’ve included a little list of our Adelaide ‘must dos’.
We also share two camps that are now free in New South Wales – a pub and a bowling club, a free site in outback Queensland, and a spectacular WA beach camp with no facilities and no price tags!
I hope you’re travelling – do show us where you are, and share a photo on our I Love Camping Australia Wide Facebook group. Did you know we were on Tik Tok? If you have some campers you know who use it, pretty please ask them to follow us. Our Pinterest page now has 500 followers (!!) and loads of great camps on there, too.
