Looking for the the best beach side camping in South Australia? The tip is to arrive early to Rapid Bay Camping Area in South Australia. Located on the Fleurieu Peninsula, it is only 100 km south of Adelaide. Our CAMPS Ambassadors called it a “little beauty”! Manda said, “We had one and a half days of sunshine and we made the most of every minute. We contemplated snorkelling the old jetty however Dan did a water temp test and was way too cold for Aria and I. He had a look around but didn’t see too much. “We wandered down

Must see: Red Rock Beach, NSW

A stand out destination, Red Rock Beach is north of Coffs Harbour, NSW. You can see why it has that name – but have you visited? It is just so special because it has two beaches – offering totally different experiences, a creek and a river! Corindi River and the beaches surround Reflections Holiday Park Red Rock. After lunch in the picnic area (watching kayakers), we swam at Little Beach, perfect for families at this sheltered cove. There was even a bit of shade on the sand when we visited from the Pandanus trees. Beware of tidal channels here. Note:

Wildlife and beach camp: Red Cliff Campground, New South Wales

For a budget priced beach camp with million dollar views, travel to Red Cliff at Yuraygir National Park in northern New South Wales. Not only do you have the waves at your doorstep, the kangaroos love it, too! A popular surfing destination, it is only 5 km from Brooms Head and their “Bowlo” , known for yummy Chinese meals. The whole area is super family friendly, and a favourite for many! Yuraygir extends from south of Yamba, around the laid back villages of Wooli and Minnie Water (great fishing!) all the way to Red Rock. In fact, the Clarence Valley

10 things to do and see in Tin Can Bay, Queensland

The small fishing and tourist town of Tin Can Bay is on the Cooloola Coast of the Gympie Region, between the Sunshine Coast and Fraser Coast in Queensland. Here’s what we recommend you do and see whilst you are there: Feed wild dolphins The absolute drawcard for Tin Can Bay is its wild dolphins. They come in and feed most mornings and for a few dollars per person you can watch them, and a few more you can feed them a fish yourself! Unlike Monkey Mia where a few people in a huge group are selected to feed their dolphins, everyone

See the turtles at Mon Repos

Definitely a thing for your bucket list. The turtles were THE reason we stayed at Bargara Beach Caravan Park. Mon Repos supports the Pacific region’s largest breeding population of loggerhead turtles, and the largest nesting marine turtles on the eastern mainland Australia. Of course we found lots of other lovely things to do in Bundaberg and the coast, but seeing the turtles was the highlight of the weekend. Not just for us, but also our son and his friend. Be prepared for a wait. If you are planning, book well ahead. If not, and it is booked out – ask if
