Going camping in Australia can be one of your memorable adventure experiences. It’s one of the best ways to escape the hectic city life and enjoy some quiet. Camping in Australia lets you interact with nature by allowing you to set camp next to a beach, beside a river, in a beach setting, or in any other environment from where you watch local wildlife.
As you continue with your Australia camping adventure, you can meet other campers who may recommend unique camping destinations. Discussed below are the top four camping sites in Australia.
1. Booderee National Park
Booderee National Park is a top national park on the south coast of Australia for breezy eucalyptus jungles and white sand beaches. The most distinct and unique thing about this park is that the beaches it houses don’t have the same strong currents and waves that many other East Coast beaches do. Rather, the majority of Booderee National Park’s beaches are snuggled in Jervis Bay and create a more relaxed swimming experience.
Green Patch is Booderee’s largest campsite and the only ground for drive-in camping in the park, meaning camping with or in vehicles, including hybrid caravans. There’s also the Bristol Point Campground, which is walk-in only and has amenities similar to Green Patch’s. This campsite is also at the back of a beach, allowing campers to spend more time at the beach.
2. Grampians National Park
Grampians National Park offers full-service camping sites and simple, more remote spots. The park is a motor-home- and- caravan-friendly region where you can relax while enjoying the convenience of:
- Recreation areas
- Powered campsites
- Covered camp kitchens
- Washing machines and toilets
- Gated security
- Public camping van dump points
Some of the campgrounds to explore in this park include the following:
- Jimmy Creek campsite: It’s an excellent option for those looking for the privacy of remote camping without water hookups or power, getting you deeper and closer to nature
- Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park: It’s an excellent spot for those seeking the convenience of water fill-ups, power hookups, dump stations, and other facilities
3. Cockatoo Island’s waterfront campsite
Cockatoo Island’s waterfront camping spot provides unmatched Sydney Harbor views and access to charming picnic spots, licensed cafes, and barbecue facilities. The Island’s campground allows you to spend a night or more under the stars in the middle of Sydney Harbor. You have several camping options accommodating a range of occasions, group sizes, and budgets, including family vacations and romantic getaways.
Whether you’re on a budget or a seasoned camping enthusiast, you can come with and pitch your own swag or tent. However, consider arranging a pre-erected tent if you want a hassle-free stay. The Cockatoo Island’s waterfront campground actively welcomes those with access needs.
4. Blue Mountains National Park
The Blue Mountains National Park attracts outdoor fanatics and nature lovers thanks to its sandstone cliffs, large eucalyptus trees, and breathtaking canyons. The park offers easy access for RVs and caravans, making it a perfect destination for family getaways. You can visit one of the region’s campsites, most of which are only appropriate for camper trailers and tents.
However, if you’re a caravanner, you can reserve a spot at Mt. Wilson’s council-run bush campsite or book yourself into the tourist parks at Blackheath or Katoomba, which offer powered campgrounds, and access to laundry facilities, a camp kitchen, and other amenities.
Endnote
Australia is a perfect camping destination for outdoor and nature lovers. Familiarizing yourself with the top camping sites is key to planning the ideal Australian adventure.
