Cape Le Grand National Park, WA

Inland, you’ll spot western grey kangaroos, pygmy possums and groves of banksia. Stay at the Lucky Bay Campground, with a camp kitchen, hot showers and direct beach access for daily dips.

Daintree National Park, QLD


Rainforest walks, ocean safaris, fishing and horse riding are literally on your doorstep here.


Imagine what a joy it’ll be to park your caravan in the midst of the Daintree Rainforest? As if that’s not a prime location in itself, Cape Trib Camping rests on the edge of Myall Beach, fringed by the Great Barrier Reef. Rainforest walks, ocean safaris, fishing and horse riding are literally on your doorstep here. Plus, there’s a bar, shop and takeaway pizzas, onsite.

Cradle Mountain Caravan Park offers home away from home

Park your van in the heart of Cradle Mountain, Tasmania

Cradle Mountain, Tasmania

The famous Overland Track starts at Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain, but you don’t have to hike the six day trail, to invest in exploring a large dose of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The Cradle Mountain Caravan Park offers a home away from home, with nearby canyons for adventure sports, glacial lakes, ancient pines and perhaps even the opportunity to see a Tassie Devil in the wild.

West MacDonnell National Park, NT

The West MacDonnell National Park brings a whole new meaning to ‘camping under the stars’, where you can truly escape from artificial light to appreciate the night sky. Ormiston Gorge is a spectacular showcase of the MacDonnell Ranges, with a near-permanent waterhole for refreshing swims.

Do the Ghost Gum or Pound Walk and spot rock wallabies, ring-tailed dragons and water birds. The campsite offers basic toilets, showers and barbecues, however it’s advisable to bring your own water.

Now, what was that about not having enough time to take the caravan out?
