Happy Families with Independent Travelling Plans Often Select Caravan Holidays to Enjoy Australia
Some spots in Australia are perfect for caravan holidays. For instance, Tasmania offers at least 50 caravan parks for tourists who want to travel and holiday in motor-homes or campervans.
If you have the right gear for camping and understand the basics of planning your itinerary, you can enjoy an entertaining holiday in Australia. From NSW to Victoria and beyond, the government has worked to establish attractive caravan parks, motor homes for hire, and facilities designed to ensure people of all age groups have a fantastic time caravanning.
Caravanning Spots
Almost all caravanning spots have been identified by Australia’s tourism department. These sites are safe, secure, and equipped with essential amenities for caravanning, and are located in prime spots such as rainforests, beaches, downtown areas of plush cities, and pristine lakes.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can enjoy an independent lifestyle with your family. Bird watchers, nature lovers, and hikers often choose caravan parks near national parks, reservoirs, and lakes. Surf campsites are common near beaches, and many parks are located in highland areas. In Queensland, popular caravan sites can be found at Bower Hills, Brisbane, and Gregory Terrace.
How to Proceed
Before planning a caravan holiday, make sure your family members are ready for the trip. If you have a pet, look for parks that are pet-friendly. Try to find free or affordable caravan parks. Common places to search for parks include websites, travel guides, and social networking sites. You can also ask friends for recommendations.
Make sure to plan how you will manage:
- Water supply, water usage, and potable water consumption
- Power supply, power usage through gas, battery, or light bulbs
- The use of resources like power, water, and food, especially in remote or highland areas
- Travel costs, the distance you can travel, and the types of entertainment available
What You Need
In addition to planning, you’ll need to equip yourself with useful gadgets and pack essential items like food, clothing, and more. Depending on where you are caravanning, your needs will vary. However, some essentials most caravan campers should carry include:
- Water gauge
- Fluorescent lights
- Torches and LEDs
- Solar panel system
- Voltmeter
- Electronic goods like a fridge
- Towing equipment
...Make sure you have a good guide to help you visit the right spots while caravanning. If you are traveling with your family, don't forget to pack games—both indoor and outdoor.
The Caravan
Some people buy a caravan or motor home for travel, while others hire one depending on their needs. You must consider storage space, sleeping areas for everyone traveling in the van, and an annex if needed.
A caravan holiday is ideal for those who want an action-filled trip to destinations like Nagambie Lakes Leisure Park, Goulburn River, Monash, or Eastlink.
