Camp at Patchewollock Hotel, Victoria

Established after the First World War, Patchewollock is a small town in North-West Victoria with a population of less than 200. Located 41 km SW of Ouyen or 49 km N of Hopetoun, “Patche” is home to an amazing silo art piece by Brisbane-based street artist Fintan Magee, sometimes referred to as the ‘Australia’s Banksy’. The giant mural depicts local sheep and grain farmer, Nick ‘Noodle’ Hulland, chosen for his ‘classic farmer looks’ and his strong connection to the farming community. Patchewollock Caravan Park (formerly Patche Sunset Retreat) has closed! However you can still camp there, it is now called

Where to camp in Thargomindah, Queensland

It was raining heavily as we drove towards Thargomindah. Roads had been busy up to Eulo, as the Big Red Bash was coming to Birdsville. We were looking forward to some indoor meals, a laundry for our muddy clothes and warming up… Thargomindah’s Explorers Caravan Park gave us just that! We called ahead and snagged the last powered site – perfectly positioned outside the warm camp kitchen We parked up and explored town – stopping into the Thargomindah Pub for a hot lunch – yum! Make sure you check out the Visitor Centre, too. Explorers Caravan Park is huge, see more

Australia’s only fully off grid caravan park: Fowlers Bay, South Australia

by CAMPS Ambassadors, Overland Exposure Fowlers Bay is very small coastal town that has sand dunes, a jetty, some whales in the right season and that’s about it! We did stay at the ONLY FULLY OFF GRID CARAVAN PARK in Australia and the owners were lovely. If you plan to stay here, just remember they run everything off grid so just like you and us when free camping need to be mindful of water and electricity use. The playground was fab and the Ringneck Parrots were chatty too! There is a communal fire pit that is lit each evening. OH

April reopening for Omeo Caravan Park in Victoria

East Gippsland Shire Council is committed to having the Caravan Park at Omeo reopened by the 14th of April just before Easter. Some areas of the park will still have temporary closures and no cabins will be available. A flood in early January caused well-documented damage to the park and amenities, local roads and other public facilities such as Livingstone Park and the pump track. Council has made remedial action a priority in Omeo and surrounds. General Manager Business Excellence, Peter Cannizzaro said it was likely to take up until Easter for flood remedial works to be completed at the

Stunning location: Lake Placid Rainforest Retreat, Queensland

Lake Placid Tourist Park, Queensland – image Overland Exposure Just north of Cairns in Queensland, in 14 acres of tropical rainforest there’s a well kept park waiting for you. Thanks to our CAMPS Ambassadors, Manda and Daniel for sending these wonderful photos. They said it was a: “Stunning location surrounded by rainforest, mountains and Lake Placid/Barron River just out the gate. Nice sites, only just big enough for our rig, welcoming and helpful staff. Amenities were wonderful and always clean. Loved walking to the Lake Placid Picnic Area and lookout to feed the ducks each day.” Also onsite are bungalows, villas and

Coolum Beach Holiday Park, Coolum, Queensland

I visited Coolum last week and checked out the only Coolum caravan park – and it’s a beautiful one in a brilliant location. With at least 3 beach entrances, the surf and sand are right on your doorstep! There’s a park and playground on either side – outside the park. A bottle-o, supermarket, shops and eateries are over the road- plus the Coolum Surf Club next door. Bring your bike as you can cycle or walk both north and south on the coast path. Plus you can climb Mt Coolum. When we stayed, the kids loved having the shops so
