NEW owners for Trinity Islands Holiday Park, Burrum, Queensland

Welcome Dan and Nora! Congratulations to Dan and Nora Gleeson, new owners of Trinity Islands Holiday Park! Travelling with the CAMPS guides from way back, they’ve found a special corner of Australia to call their own. Plus they are sharing it with all of us! “Dan and I travelled around Australia with the kids (now adults) navigating from the back seat with Camps 4. Mary and George would check what services were available at different sites in our Camps 4 Book, Dan would ask if the region’s industry seemed likely to have suitable work,” Nora said.

Go camping at these NEW caravan parks and sites!

Whilst we’ve been scouring the coast and country – our team have been working hard adding new sites to our free Camps Australia Wide App! One of the new sites we came across is a budget pet-friendly camp, Buchan Rec Ground, Victoria. As the caves are still closed, the community REALLY needs visitors to come and support local businesses. Anyway, we checked over 50 camps in one morning alone! And hundreds more in our 5 week trip – so keep posted with this newsletter (like the sites below) and the Camps Australia Wide App feed for updates. PET FRIENDLY RACEWAY

Boil the billy and relax at our best camps for the year!

Rose Isle Station Happy New Year! Here’s our final round up for 2023. Last week we shared favourite pubs, silo art, towns, burgers and more – this week we rank campsites!

In 4 months, across 5 states/territory and 16000 km. Here goes … visit our BEST 10 camps from our winter trip! Plus we add in a few more from our other

Camp and dance at Neurum Creek Bush Retreat, Queensland

Book Neurum Creek Bush Retreat in advance for upcoming concerts in 2024! If you love music, and you love camping (like I do) then it is a no-brainer. Camp onsite and a short walk to the bands and action under the Big Fig. All this is at Mount Archer in the Somerset Region, near Woodford, Queensland. They say it is 75 minutes from Brisbane and 75 minutes from the Sunshine Coast. We relaxed, fireside, and danced down by the stage to tribute bands for Icehouse and INXS. Each guest has a chance to win lucky door prizes – they were

Experience beach camping at its best!

Only two more weeks until Christmas! I can’t wait for catch-ups with mates and BEACH CAMPING. The table will be full of family – and Christmas treats, including the cocktails (and mocktails) below. One of our favourite beach towns this year is Port Fairy, Vic. Griffiths Island (pictured) has the BEST beach hike – with wildlife, boardwalks and lighthouse. TIP: We stopped at Southcombe Caravan Park and dined at a new bar and eatery, The Sentinel. I soaked up the first live music we’d come across in months of bush travels! Leave time to browse lovely local stores, too. Have
