Nonetheless, you’ll discover a multitude of well-maintained and well-equipped campgrounds in stunning locations throughout the country. If you opt for Freedom Camping, it’s crucial to verify that you’re in a designated free camping zone; otherwise, you may face substantial fines.

An useful app called CamperMate is available for download, providing information on both free and paid camping areas as well as holiday parks across Australia. You can also purchase a Camps Australia book that includes these details along with road maps.
Just remember to leave no trace of your visit when in campgrounds—dispose of your waste in provided bins or carry it out with you if bins are not available.
Travellers inquire about any limitations on where they can take the caravan, including crossing state or territory borders.
Child seats are compatible with most of our caravan / campervan vehicle models. We offer front-facing child seats that adhere to local regulations.

We’re big animal lovers and are in the process of introducing camper options that are dog-friendly. This means that both service animals like guide dogs and pet dogs are welcome in all our campers. When you’re making your booking, please inform us if you plan to bring along your four-legged friend. There’s a fee to include your dog in the camper.
Here are a few important things to keep in mind:
- If your dog causes any damage to the camper due to negligence, you’ll be responsible for the repair costs, and it won’t be covered under any liability reduction option.
- We kindly request that all your furry companions are treated for fleas before joining you on your journey.
- While you’re scouting for campsites during your trip, be sure to select pet-friendly campgrounds.
- Throughout your road trip, it’s crucial to properly secure your dog while you’re driving. Dogs are not allowed to move around inside the driver’s cabin or inside the vehicle while it’s in motion, as they can be distracting.
