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!
Manning Gorge has to be one of our favourite places on the Gibb River Road. However, I can’t say it is my favourite hike! However it does have a bonus, read on to see why we reckon this spot is a must see in The Kimberley, Western Australia. 1. The hike starts with a swim! That’s right, a bit of a novelty – place your gear in a halved 44 gallon drum and push it across the creek! Although you can wade through most, there is a section where walking is not an option. Years ago, the owners had a
The local ranger said Windjana Gorge has 162 freshwater crocodiles! If you are travelling the Gibb River Road it is the first national park from the west and last from east in the famed Kimberley region. Set in the Bandilngan Windjana Gorge National Park (so no dogs) there is a generator area and “quiet” area. We are very impressed – hot showers and flushing loos! Remember you may need to BYO loo paper. Windjana Gorge has two walks, both are best in the cool of the day – early morning or late afternoon: The Savannah Trail (Class 3) 1km loop
We’ve just hiked (swam!) Tunnel Creek, just off the Gibb River Road in Western Australia’s Kimberley region – Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek) National Park. Here’s everything you need to know and bring! My adrenaline is still pumping. Good reasons, for that. It is known as a freshwater crocodile spot, friends who walked it the other day said they saw their beady eyes in the torch light. Us? Well we forgot our headlamp, and made do with light from the phone and our kind fellow hikers. So no crocs spotted from us. What to bring? Togs Reef shoes (or something you are
There is no doubt about it, I love the land of the boabs – it is SOOO heartwarming to be back in The Kimberley, Western Australia! So we thought we’d share our tips so far. Right now, we’re on the Gibb River Road. We’ve been so chuffed with travellers introducing themselves and saying “Thank you!” – for the App, CAMPS 12 or Pendium… It is a real thrill to both of us, and makes all the hard work worthwhile, knowing our guides are helping you experience our beautiful country. Thanks, too, to everyone who has given us a sterling google
Our first time at Barn Hill Station and we are impressed with this station stay. The unpowered cliff sites or ocean view sites do just that – Indian Ocean views that go on forever! With red cliffs against the blue ocean that the Kimberley is famous for. Here’s a few tips if you are planning a trip here: 1. Do. I mean do add this place to your trip plan and do book a site. We didn’t book ahead, and we nabbed a $17.50 per person overflow site on “Northshore Rd” that still has ocean views – between vans, that
Here’s some camping and roadtrip know-how from Silent Grove Campground, after a swim in Bell Gorge. Just one of the highlights of the Gibb River Road in Western Australia’s Kimberley, here’s some helpful advice (including free camping) from what we’ve learnt along the way… Tip 1 Give yourself enough time to enjoy it! Driving fast is not the solution. Too many times, we’ve had vehicles roaring past from the other direction. A great way to damage windscreens. Tip 2 How much time? It depends how many side trips you add in! Only about 700km, you can double that if you
