Australia's Best Camping Parks

A camping holiday is a great choice for just about anyone, from individuals to groups, and everything in between. If you’d like to get away from all the stresses of daily life without getting away from your basic amenities, a good quality camping site is an excellent choice. Of course, you’ll need to make sure you’re picking the right one for you – here’s a guide.

Whether you just want a place to pitch your tent and some basic amenities, or a fully featured site with bars, swimming pools, entertainment options and more, you’ll be able to find it. You just have to take the time to decide what variety works best for you. Do you want to enjoy all the features of a resort, or are you looking for some peaceful time to get back to nature?

Make sure you check out all your options early, and take the amount of space you’ll need, your noise level preferences, and your interest in dealing with crowds. After all, there’s a difference in what you’ll need for secluded fun versus social camping holidays. Ask yourself how far you’d like to go, how long you’ll spend on holiday and how much you can afford to pay.

This is all extremely important to know for anyone who wants to have a successful camping holiday. It might seem like a lot to think about, but if you take the time to do it, you’ll have a great experience. Most people save money on a camping holiday, too, making it the perfect alternative to the usual trip.

Many people decide to go with all the amenities and luxuries offered by a holiday park, with running water showers and bathrooms, access to communal kitchens, laundries, TV rooms and games, kids’ playground and entertainment, and an onsite office with staff. These are the best choice if you’ll be caravan camping and need power, or if you want to spend your trip in a cabin. Remember – even luxury cabins are usually cheaper than a stay in a hotel, and they offer more space.

Of course, you may find that a holiday park is a little too crowded if what you want is to get back to nature – tent camping is probably for you. There are fewer amenities in these sites, and running water and power may be unavailable, but the fees are much lower, there’s a lot more space per camper, and things are a great deal quieter.

Timing is everything, especially if you plan to go camping during the summer holidays, when the kids are out of school, or during the busy time around Christmas, you’ll need to book your site before you go. Many sites are very popular, and fill up fast. That means you’ll need to call in advance to make certain that you and your group will have a place to stay.

It doesn’t matter where you’d like to go or what you want to do, there’s sure to be a camping site and a holiday for you. Commune with nature in a quiet setting, or enjoy all the amenities you’d find in a resort – the choice is up to you. No matter which one you pick, you’re sure to enjoy your camping holiday.
