Camping – The Best Way to Holiday in Australia

  • Written by Times Media



Australia is a huge landmass, and if you are planning a holiday Down Under, there are many options, but for Australians, there’s only one way to see the country, and that is camping. There is something special about being close to nature, and camping really does bring you into the natural arena in a way that no other kind of holiday can.

Own Your Holiday

Many Australians own their holidays, and they do this by investing in a camping trailer. There are, for example, affordable camper trailers for sale in Perth, both new and used, and there is something for every budget. A camping trailer offers a new camping experience; once you find the perfect spot, unhitch the trailer, put down the stabilisers and raise the tent, which only takes a few minutes. Once you have invested in a good camping trailer, your holidays are very cheap; you only have to pay for your fuel and a little for camping berths. 

Freedom & Independence

Families enjoy long holidays in the Outback, thanks to cutting-edge technology; simply roll out a solar blanket and connect it to the system, and you can store enough energy to last for at least 24 hours. All you need is enough food and water, and you can disappear into the wilderness for as long as you like. Some foreigners come to Australia to spend a year touring the country; they buy a 4WD truck and a camping trailer, tour the country and sell both before flying home. The depreciation is minimal, and the entire trip ends up being very affordable, unlike spending your time in hotels and resorts, which would cost a fortune.

Campsites

Due to the popularity of camping, there are so many campsites spread across the entire country, which makes it easy to plan your camping trip. Modern campsites have electricity, showers and hot water, plus many other amenities to make your stay a comfortable one. All along the coast from Sydney to Brisbane, there are large campsites, while on the other side of the country, Perth is home to some of the best campsites in the country.

The Outback Experience

The Outback is a huge expanse of natural wilderness, and a camping trailer hooked up to a 4WD truck enables you to explore this amazing region of Australia. Alternatively, you could hire a campervan or RV and tour the Northern Territories for a few months and really experience nature at its finest. The best thing to do is carry out some online research before you plan your trip, which will definitely help, and it will enrich the experience.

If you are interested in buying or renting a camping trailer, start with a Google search to bring up a list of reputable suppliers and check out the many great bargains.
