1 . FREEDOM CAMPING
Often , free camps require no bookings , have wide open spaces , and sometimes access to waterholes , rivers , creeks or dams . Plus , the prices are great on the wallet . However , remember to park as far away as possible from other campers .
In Camps Australia Wide ’ s books , these sites are ones without a $ symbol ( you can also search in the Camps app ).
2 . GO COUNTRY
If you want campgrounds with availability , seek rural or bush locations , rather than hugging a coastline . Go for outback national parks , rather than the beachy ones . Choose country caravan parks instead of oceanside spots .
A good example is a gorgeous lakeside camp we stopped at only an hour or so from us , Lake Lenthall , near Maryborough , Qld . Because it did not allow motorcraft and jet skis , it only attracted fishers . We loved it and there was only one other site taken . We had it to ourselves for most of the day and it was school holidays !
