Camping in Australia offers a great way to experience a beautiful part of the world, even if it’s a little more remote. You can explore the country’s best attractions by renting a car with us. You can drive the roads during the day and then park at night.
It’s also a cheap way to travel. It is relatively easy to rent and operate small campervans, which combine transport and accommodation into one. Camping costs can be reduced if you are able to plan ahead and know where you are going.
Locate a site
Privately owned caravan parks and holiday parks can be very expensive, but they are well-equipped. However, prices and facilities vary greatly. Some have on-site shops, while others offer powered sites and pools. Prices will vary depending on how many people you are staying, where they are located and whether or not you need power. These parks are often located in small towns across Australia and are great for those times when you need to wash clothes, take a shower, or cook dinner.
National Park campsites can be more basic than private facilities and are run by the state. These campsites are cheaper than private ones. Some offer no amenities, such as a place to park and water, while others provide running water and drop toilets. You may also find flush lavatories and garbage disposal. To view and book campsites, visit the websites for each state’s National Park System. When you are staying at a National Park campground, it is important to be mindful of the surroundings and to leave everything as it was found.
Camping free in Australia
You can camp free of charge in many places across the country. But there are some things you should know. You can only camp free of charge in your own vehicle so that you don’t cause any damage to the environment or leave anything behind. You can park on any public land that allows camping. Some farmers are open to people staying overnight, but you won’t know unless they ask. Be aware that some camps allow only a limited stay. You can’t leave rubbish behind as camping free of charge is a privilege that can be misused, leading to many camps being closed.
You can find free campsites on a variety of websites. There are also apps that you can download to assist you. Make sure you do your research before you leave for the campsite.
Keep safe
Many people believe that Australia is trying to kill them. While Australia has its share of dangerous wildlife, it shouldn’t be a problem if you take precautions. Avoid leaving food out that could attract wildlife. Keep tents closed, doors locked and zippers tight. Also be aware of crocodile-infested inland water bodies. Wear sturdy shoes when walking in the bush or grass. Snakes and spiders won’t like to come in contact with you.
