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!

A WA truck stop Kumarina Roadhouse was a welcome overnighter for us – with bar, sunset from the verandah, budget camping and a mixed grill! Little known NSW gem
This roadhouse is very deceptive. It doesn’t look like much from the road. I think when we arrived, Heatley queried is this it? There were a few vans, cars and trucks parked out front. However, as soon as I opened the door I was warmly greeted. Camping was $20 a night and the combined shower/toilet cubicles were clean and adequate. Not that we got to that for a while – we sat out under the verandah and watched the colours change in the sky as the road trains, some carrying huge buildings arrived and left. We interrupted our game of
Wooramel River Retreat is a pet friendly station stay in Western Australia, perfect for campers and RV travellers. Both our CAMPS Ambassadors gave it a thumbs up…
