Camping tips to make your life easier

Here are some of our favourite places to go camping in Australia. Check out the info below, including tips on how get to the campsites.

1. Mitchell River National Park

The remote Mitchell Plateau is more than a 15-hour drive from Kununurra, but this part of the world is worth it. Just an extra four-mile walk from the campsite is Mitchell Falls, one of the most beautiful in the world. You really have to want to see this place to make the effort, and the campsite is extremely basic so you need to be self-sufficient. Maybe not one for first-time campers! (more info)

2. Bamurru Plains

This site in the Northern Territory is a natural wonder on the Mary River floodplains. This is a great glamping destination, as you can walk through the wetlands and woods, and then return to a luxury safari suite, if you fancy a break from the van. (more info)

3. Booderee National Park

New South Wales has some of the most stunning beaches in the world, and Booderee National Park has the best in this area, as long as you like white sand, turquoise sea with a backdrop of lush woodland, that is! (more info)

4. Dawsons Spring campground

Located in Kaputar National Park Dawsons Spring camping ground is a short walk from some of the most amazing views in the country. Mount Kaputar is the focal point of the region and from the campsite, you can explore the whole area, and take startling in the views from the summit. (more info)

5. Iga Warta

Iga Warta in Southern Australia is a fantastic place to make camp. The name means ‘place of the native orange tree’ and this place is still owned by indigenous people. There are bush tucker tours of the area where you can try the local edible plants and learn which ones are used medicinally by Aborigines. (more info)

List of Australia's National Parks

Australia’s National Parks are run by the states. National park campsites are in general more basic & budget in compared to private owned campsites.  The fee usually ranges from AU$4 to AU$12 per night, depending on the facilities available, location and season. We love them though. They are usually more quiet, remote, beautiful and cheap than anything else you will find.
