We have been on the road doing this since 1992. When we say a country pub or club is good for a meal, a big rig or a quiet night, it's because one of our team has actually personally checked the site.

What you get with every Camps Australia Wide pub and club stay

There is no shortage of information online about camping at country pubs and clubs. 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 powered sites, amenities and tested phone signal.
Re-checked regularly. Pubs change hands and clubs change their rules, so we revisit sites and update the details when they do.
No paid listings, ever. We have never charged a pub, club or council to be listed, so what you read reflects the site and not an advertiser.
16,000+ verified sites across every state and territory, country pubs and clubs among them.

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

Frequently asked questions about pub and club camping near you

Where can I find pub camping near me?

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

Can you camp at pubs in Australia?

Yes, in many places. A lot of country pubs let travellers stay the night, and plenty of sports, bowls and RSL clubs welcome self-contained vehicles. It is usually low cost or free as a courtesy when you have a meal or a drink. Rules vary from pub to pub, so check the current details in the Camps Australia Wide App before you arrive.

Is pub camping free?

Often it is free or a small fee, and the usual courtesy is to buy a meal or a drink at the bar. Some pubs offer a powered site for a modest charge. We record the current details for each pub and club we have checked, so you know what to expect before you pull in.

What facilities do pub and club stays have?

It varies from site to site. Many country pubs offer a flat patch to park, a hot meal and a cold drink, and some have toilets, showers or a powered site. Clubs are similar. Every site in our database is assessed against 12 criteria, so you know what to expect before you arrive.

Are pub and club stays suitable for caravans and big rigs?

Many are, but space and access differ. Some country pubs have a large flat area or paddock with room for a big caravan or motorhome, while others suit a smaller setup. We note access and suitability for each site we visit, and the Camps Australia Wide App lets you filter for your rig.

How do I know a pub or club listing is still accurate?

Because we go and check. Our team personally visits and re-checks sites, and we update the listing when a pub changes hands or a club changes its rules. 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.
