Australians are renowned for being outdoors type people and we love getting out and about exploring this great country of ours. Camping has always been a popular way of holidaying for many, whether it’s just for a few days, weeks or even months. Australian caravan parks are everywhere, a testament to our great outdoors way of life, filled with caravans, campervans and tent cities during peak periods.

Travel Australia In A Camper

One of the best and most convenient ways to travel a country like Australia is by campervan. You are taking your accommodation with you everywhere you go. If you choose to stay overnight in a caravan park you will pay less in the way of fees than if you had to rent a van for the evening.

When travelling in more remote areas of the country you can stop virtually anywhere and camp for the night in comfort and with complete security. In urban areas you won’t be allowed to do this as it will be against local council by-laws, but out on the open road or in the outback it’s a totally different story. There are designated camping grounds and caravan parks in more remote areas too, but you have the option of using them or not.

Stopping at Australian caravan parks in your camper is a great way to socialise and meet new people, but if you feel like a bit of solitude, then finding a remote spot might be more to your liking.

Off Road Caravan Dealers

There are dealers who specialise on the off road variety of caravans and campers, vehicles that are designed to handle the rigors of the ‘off the beaten track’ outback adventurer. If you are seeking camping adventures in the more remote parts of Australia, even if you end up in an outback caravan park, it’s best to talk to a dealer who knows his stuff. Dealers also offer caravan finance. Tell him what your plans are, the areas and kind of terrain you will likely be traversing, how long you might possibly stay in an area where there are no facilities and you will have to be self-sufficient.

Armed with all this knowledge, as well as your proposed spending budget, the dealer will be able to run you through the best options for the money you have to spend and make suggestions of what kind of things your caravan or camper will need to be equipped with for the purposes you propose.

What Caravan Accessories Do You Require?

When travelling around the nation and staying at various Australian caravan parks you will no doubt want your van or camper equipped with certain things. Once again your dealer can help you work out exactly what you need. Maybe you want a van with a slide out barbecue for outdoor cooking and entertaining, or lots of storage space.

There are considerations to keep in mind as well if you are planning off road trips into remote places.

Things like the following:

• Plenty of back up batteries for power

• Solar panel

• Antenna

• Capacity of water storage tanks, both fresh water and grey water

• Storage for extra fuel
