Types of Camping in Australia

You've made it to the other side of the world, but what's next? Australia has a whole host of accommodation options from campervan rentals to dessert camping. Tent camping in Australia is an option, but it is best to have the comfort and security of a motorhome, as camping sites are very spread out and remote, especially in the outback areas. You can always erect a tent by your camper if you want to sleep outdoors, but do be aware of the wildlife and potential dangers around you.

Camping with a motorhome also means you have your own facilities for cooking and washing, and can carry enough water with you, which is especially important when travelling through the desert areas in central Australia.

Touring Australia is a great way to see as much as possible if you have limited time. You can travel from a city into the outback in half a day, and experience a totally different lifestyle, although you will find that the Australian sense of humour, and laid back attitude pervades throughout this vast country. Travelling in a motorhome or campervan can be very affordable and a great option for backpackers wanting to experience lots on a small budget.
