Favourite campsites in New South Wales
The list of best campsites in Australia continues in New South Wales. Have a look at the favourite campsites that made the list there.
Bellinger River Tourist Park (New South Wales)
Another of the best campsites in Australia is the Bellinger River Tourist Park. Located near the Pacific Highway, you'll find this park breathtaking. Perhaps the best part of this one is that your pets are welcome to come with you. This way the whole family can enjoy a relaxing getaway together.
No matter what time of the year you are there, you can enjoy some great fishing. You can purchase your bait at the park and then go fish in salt or freshwater. You also have the option of fishing at the nearby beach. For even more fun, be sure to go deep sea fishing. This can be done from the Coffs Harbour Wharf, where you can charter a boat.

Depot Beach Campground (New South Wales)

Best campsites in Victoria
The last stop on this best or favourite campsites trip is Victoria. This time just a quick stop as we didn't want to make the list too long. As there as so much to do and see there, we'll probably create a blog post dedicated to camping in Victoria later on.
Yambuk Lake Caravan Park (Victoria)
From Port Fairy, a charming historic town, the Yambuk Lake Caravan Park is a quick drive away. It's the best way to truly experience Australia's nature. You will find the park directly behind Yambuk Lake. During your camping trip, you can even go fishing in the lake. For an alternative, you can fish at the beaches nearby.
That's not all there is to do. A can't-miss attraction is the Yambuk slide. The whole family can enjoy the childlike joy of experiencing the largest slide in the south. While it's a climb to get to the top, it's worth it for the trip down.
If you don't mind venturing away from the campsite, nearby attractions such as Codrington Wind Farm are worth checking out. Though if you stick to the park you'll also find a pub and a general store there for your convenience. See for more info or check out the free Spaceships travel & camping app.
