We have been on the road doing this since 1992. When we say a national park campsite is good for a tent, a big rig or a swim in the river, it's because one of our team has actually personally checked the site.

What you get with every Camps Australia Wide national park campsite

There is no shortage of national park camping information online. What's in short supply is information you can trust. That's the gap our Personally Checked Standard fills, and it's why we list a site only after we have seen it for ourselves.

Personally checked, not crowd-sourced. We physically visit each site and assess it against 12 criteria, from access and facilities to safety, noise and tested phone signal.
Re-checked regularly. Parks close for fire, flood and seasonal works, so we revisit sites and update the details when conditions change.
No paid listings, ever. We have never charged for a listing, so what you read reflects the campsite and not an advertiser.
16,000+ verified sites across every state and territory, national park campsites among them.

You can read exactly how we do it on our how we verify campsites page.

Frequently asked questions about national park camping near you

Where can I find national park camping near me?

Choose your state from the cards above to see our national park camping guides, or open the Camps Australia Wide App to find Personally Checked national park campsites near your current location. The app includes offline maps, so your sites are still there when you lose phone signal.

Do I need to book national park camping in advance?

Usually yes. Most states ask you to book national park campsites ahead of time through their park service, such as NSW National Parks, Queensland Parks, Parks Victoria or the equivalent in your state, and popular sites fill fast in holidays. We note the details for the sites we have checked, so you know where to book before you go.

Do I need a permit or fee for national park camping?

Often there is a camping fee, and some parks also charge vehicle entry. A few sites are free. Fees and permits are set by each state's park service, not by us, so check the current details with them and in the Camps Australia Wide App before you set up.

What facilities do national park campsites have?

It varies a lot. Some national park campsites have toilets, picnic tables and fire pits, while others are remote bush sites with nothing at all. Every site in our database is assessed against 12 criteria, so you know what to expect before you arrive, including whether there is drinking water and usable phone signal.

Are national park campsites suitable for caravans and big rigs?

Some are, but many are not. Access roads can be narrow, unsealed or four-wheel-drive only, and some sites suit a tent or camper rather than a large caravan. We note access and suitability for each site we visit, and the Camps Australia Wide App lets you filter for your setup.

How do I know a national park listing is still accurate?

Because we go and check. Our team personally visits and re-checks sites, and we update the listing when access or conditions change. You can see the full process on our how we verify campsites page.

After something else? Our free camping near me and caravan parks near me guides cover the rest of the country, all personally checked.
