RV FEATURE
9 . SHOWGROUNDS AND COMMUNITY HALLS
When other camps are likely to be unavailable , showgrounds , community halls and recreational reserves are worth looking into . Some such locations are restricted by space ( such as the back of a pub ), while others by sites allowed . Showgrounds , recreational reserves and community halls often have lots of grass to camp on , and often you can call ahead .
10 . FARM AND STATION STAYS
Farm and station stays can be a great option , too . Many have creeks or dams to play in and they are popular with families . There were hundreds enjoying the artesian water of Charlotte Plains when we visited during school holidays , and stations like this often have more than one campground area .
11 . TRY STATE FORESTS
State forests are also worth checking out . They are usually shady , often with toilets available and not always as popular . Nature reserves are also in this category .
Caravanners Kevin and Lyndsay ( Heatley Gilmore pictured centre ) thought the Warialda Caravan Park , NSW , was perfect ! Kevin says he travels using Camps Australia Wide books and is happiest when on dirt roads !
