A good percentage of camping and caravanning travellers stop at Caravan Parks in Australia. There are thousands to choose from, and you do not need to be self-sufficient. This means they are suitable for all types of camping, from swags, rooftop tents, tents, camper trailers, campers, motorhomes and caravans.
Few have room for Big Rigs, however caravan parks also offer cabins or glamping. Many caravan parks are located in idyllic spots – close to town or beachside.
Many campers start their adventures in caravan parks as you have familiar comforts and facilities from home. Families can seek out extra attractions like water parks, jumping pillows and playgrounds – which means you can enjoy a get together and not even leave the park!
Just use the symbols or the filters to find them in our comprehensive guide books and Camps Australia Wide App!
Now to the West Kimberley on our Aussie big lap! From Derby and Broome to Perth, here’s what we got up to (and our best bits) with our four kids… (Here’s part one and two, in case you missed it!)

Headings Cliff Lookout, SA Berri, SA starts our exciting second stage of our big lap. We share tips for long haul trips and shorter getaways – even a giveaway! Now our mainstay, ten years back – our very first free camp at Mulga Well was a real adventure! And we found it in the CAMPS guide – CAMPS 7 back then. Onto a night underground in Coober Pedy, to travel up the Centre, and circuit the Top End. Then to one of my favourite places on Earth. The East Kimberley was supposed to be our end point, instead we
We’re just back from Wee Waa in western NSW and we didn’t think we’d be dipping in a hot bore bath! Although temps were soaring for the weekend, we dutifully (haha) tested out Pilliga Bore Baths – now open for swimming and camping! Heatley decided it was nowhere near as hot as the Lightning Ridge spa, so it was the first hot mineral springs he enjoyed! Are they your ‘cup of tea’? I love them all, the hotter – the better. But it was great to cool down with their shower after. Council wanted us to mention, the nearest dump
We hope you’re ready for some 2024 adventures, but firstly – THANK YOU to all the travellers who wrote in and told us they loved our camping myths! Some had questions, others brought up the self-contained debate and we were told: “It is good to see someone not afraid to print the truths about a lot of the xxxx that is out there. Keep up the good work.” Another traveller, Bruce, used our App and book for a 5-week Streaky Bay to Sydney roadtrip and here are his photos and locations! He told us: “We could not fault the expert
Eagle Bluff Shark Bay World Heritage Area is situated on the Western Australian Coast, it is actually two bays – and it is area you do not want to miss. Situated north of Kalbarri, and south of Carnarvon on the beautiful WA coastline, all of these favourites are accessible with a conventional vehicle: Wild dolphins at Monkey Mia Monkey Mia, probably what we knew the area best for, before our visit. We wanted to check it out and compare it to our very own Tin Can Bay – also known for feeding wild dolphins. It is best to arrive early and
This former pastoral station, Lake Mason Homestead is now a free camp, there is free entry to the remote Lake Mason Conservation Park and you cannot book sites. However, no pets allowed. The Parks and Wildlife Service have advised that Lake Mason does have a flushing toilet, hot donkey shower and a firepit. BYO drinking water – untreated bore water is also available. Travelling with their CAMPS book, Jane Duinmeyer recently visited Lake Mason and thought we would enjoy their photos: “We laughed and laughed at the facilities, or lack thereof and the shower… …and toilets were our favourite.” “We love your book
