I’ve thought back over the last couple of years, and have highlighted some of the BEST experiences we had that Mums will love.
If I ask my mum what were her favourite part of our month together travelling from Gold Coast to Newman, WA – I know she will say Heatley’s camp oven feeds, sitting by the fire, and Lake Eyre! Plus the camels, donkeys and other wild animals.
Best of all, we have our treasured memories together to remember. Including the exploding red wine cask and learning how to eat with a fly net!
So here are highlights for mums of all ages! Find excellent gifts for her here plus these awesome locations in the CAMPS App and guides.
Soaking in artesian water is the ultimate for me, and many of my friends. Like the NEWEST state of the art artesian pool at Collarenebri, New South Wales…
We’re lucky to be spoilt with vineyards dotted right around our country. Here’s a few winery destinations – some you can camp at the vines!
Unforgettable
To be fair, mum wasn’t up for the mud bath at Eulo, QLD but my sister and I were. We giggled, and chatted as we soaked away…

I don’t mind if it is a river, creek or mountain – but soaking in the hot tub watching dolphins is right up there! Metung Hot Springs in Victoria’s Gippsland was a wonderful mother-son experience. Check it out!
