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!

This fantastic little town in North West Queensland, has two sites for camping… Julia Creek RV Stop If you’d like to stay at the RV Stop, you must have a fully self-contained RV, no tents. In this shire, that means “built in and/or propriety brand toilets secured in the van” with a black water holding tank or toilet cassette and no portable showers. You’ll need to collect a permit, valid for 96 hours, from the Julia Creek Visitor Information Centre, or from onsite camp hosts in peak season (April to September).

You know when you drive past a road sign and it makes you smile? These real places with funny names really are like a Dad joke! I mean, how did the name come about, and what were people thinking back then! For instance, snowy Dinner Plain in Victoria. “Dinner what?” people say when I tell them where we are right now! Here’s some other camps and places from around the country, so well named you’ll want to chuckle, and go there! Remember our Father’s Day Giveaway!

Tasmania? I think we’ll move here! Had a swim in the Bass Strait on this trip, a wee in a bank vault (truly), saw falls, aqua beaches, historic lighthouse and met travelling nurses on a hike, cottages and we slept under a nut! Beauty on every turn.
If you are following our Across the Centre Roadtrip, you’ll see we’ve been loving Karijini National Park and the Pilbara. The best bit was finally getting into some waterfall hopping, and icy cold Karijini swims, like Fern Pool. Not only have we been updating new sites (we’ve found a few newbies around Newman) we’ve also been making sure we remove or don’t list camps that are no longer available. You can check out more NEW sites from around the country below and in the CAMPS App! PILDAPPA ROCK REOPENS AND A NEW CAMPGROUND South Australia’s Pildappa Rock reopens after upgrades
In an area as vast as the West Coast of Tasmania, the new Zeehan RV Camp is a welcome sight and a new addition to our Camps listings. Once known as the Silver City from her mining boom days, Zeehan is 300 kilometres and a 4 hour drive from Hobart. That makes this new camp a much needed boost to other accommodation on the West Coast. It is intended for self contained vehicles only, is budget priced with large, flat grassy sites. It is a peaceful scenic spot and you’ll be able to manoever your vehicle easily. Zeehan has one
