Our comment on Wikicamps sale to GDay Parks

You may have heard that Wikicamps has been purchased by GDay Parks. We want to reassure you, we remain an Australian, independent and family owned business.  Camps Australia Wide has been the most trusted source of caravan park and camping information for over 20 years, and with your ongoing support, we plan to keep it that way. Come on board, join the community – let’s make this the Camps Australia Wide App the Number 1 camping app in Australia.    In case you aren’t on Facebook, here’s what Heatley said on his Facebook Live video: I just wanted to touch base

New Camos App is released
Camping

2 free camps, 2 budget camps and 2 App announcements!

  It is a relief to hear that travel and business restrictions are easing further in our country. We are working hard on a national audit of campsites, but hope to take advantage of the possibility of visiting other states very soon! We celebrated through a screen for a dear friend’s 80th in SA, but we were grateful to travel to a 50th bash in Brisbane on the weekend. Melbourne Cup was also fun here in Rainbow Beach – and although I lucked out on the Race That Stops the Nation, our table won the very prestigious hobby-horse Rainbow Cup!

Searching for FREE sites in the new CAMPS AUSTRALIA WIDE App

Yes – the new App is now available for download! You will notice that there are more than campsites and caravan parks – now you can see pub and club stays, showgrounds and community halls, national parks, state forests and conservation areas, farm and station stays, free and donations overnight stops and paid overnight stops.  The new App gives people many more options for searching and filtering – when you see it, I am sure you’ll agree. For instance, you can look for all pub stays that are free.  Having sites categorised is totally new to the market.  Please note: if you want to

Camps Australia Wide App- March 2019 Wrap Up
App

March wrap up

We’ve found a few new campsites lately! Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to spread the word on our blogs in coming months and add into the App. Oh my goodness, word of mouth must be working because we are selling double the number of Apps now. Thanks for the great reviews on how easy it is to use. The new CAMPS 10 and CARAVAN PARKS 5 book sales are also keeping us hopping. We stopped in to an ARB Accessories Open Day at Maroochydoore, on the Sunshine Coast last week, and saw some very appealing rigs. It makes me look

Neranie Head Campground Myall Lakes National Park is NSW site 109 in Camps 10
App

CAMPS 10 has arrived!

Neranie Head Campground Myall Lakes National Park is NSW site 109 in Camps 10 It’s here, the much anticipated CAMPS 10 is shipping out of the warehouse to homes across Australia, from today! Our preorders were so popular – it was unprecedented. With 950 new sites added since CAMPS 9, the latest Hema maps and a new look – it is no wonder.  The cover on the CAMPS 10 is now a double fold out cover (with a map of Australia inside), still durable but much easier and lighter to hold. All CAMPS 10 books have the spiral bound now.
