How do I find out where I can camp?
There are many free campsites in Australia but sometimes it takes a bit of work to find one. There is not one single app or website that is the holy grail of free campsites – Sometimes you need to dig a little to find a good spot. Here are some resources for finding campsites:
- Spaceships App – Good overview of available sites including caravan parks
- Find A Camp – Basic site with lots of ads but you can find some gems.
- Air Camp – Large database of campsites but the filter doesn’t work too well
- Hip Camp – Book campsites on private property
- National Parks – Check the national park website for the state you are in. Lots of National Parks have free or low cost sites.
- Travel Blogs – If you google your location + free campsites you will often find helpful blogs posts with lots of ideas for the area.
Free Camping vs Paid Camping Sites
There are plenty of free camping sites to be found in Australia which is a great way to save money on the road.
The paid campsites will offer facilities like showers, laundry, kitchen & even a pool at some sites. A good strategy is to mix between paid & free campsites so you can shower & catch up on laundry along the way.
