Ready and raring to go but not quite sure where to stop off on that big adventure of yours? Cub’s got you covered! Hooking up your camper trailer and heading out into the great wide outside is made so much better by properly planning where it is that you’ll be calling home for a few days here and there. Here is how to find the best campsites on your next big lap…
Low cost options
Free campgrounds can be a cheap and cheerful alternative to your more expensive stays, and they generally work great for a night or two of rest on your adventure trail. These can be as simple as a grassy spot or gravel pit, but can also include amazing community controlled sites that offer plenty of amenities such as flushing toilets, filtered water and even the odd kitchen or shower, if you’re really lucky! There are plenty of low cost options out there that operate on either a donation or more than fair asking price for a spot. You’ll also find some amazing free locations, it’s just a question of doing some digging! There is also going to be a fluctuation in prices depending on the time of year that you’re planning your big lap, so take the on and off season into consideration when figuring out your finances.
National Parks
National Parks make a great, leafy green option for stopping off and enjoying a little serenity during your big adventure. No matter what state or territory you’re exploring, you’ll come across plenty of National Parks with their own camping facilities. These are going to vary significantly from experience, scenery, amenities and cost, so it’s important to take the time and put some research in before you set off on your trip. Many National Parks require a booking in advance, making your research all the more essential in order to avoid any disappointment. Some parks will have little to no amenities whilst others may have hot showers, running water, flushing toilets, rubbish systems and camp kitchens.
Stations
Station stays are fantastically unique and make for a brilliant way to shake up your go to camping routine. You’ll find plenty of stations that offer accomodation and sites perfect for a few nights spent wrapped in incredible scenery and immersive culture. Stations vary drastically as far as locations and amenities go, some have classic campfires and kitchens, others are grass-roots style serene. You might even find yourself staying amongst cattle, sheep and other fascinating creatures. Whatever station you choose, they are amazing for stopping off and soaking up all of the culture and personality that our country has to offer.
Coastal camping
Soaking up the sun and frolicking in the surf? Yes please! Coast side camping is ideal if you want a few days of rest and recuperation during your travels. Beachy campsites give you the option of surfing, swimming, fishing and snorkelling, shaking up your adventure and bringing you a much welcome respite on a big trip. These can be in high demand during peak summer season, so be sure to reach out to your favourite sites or ask your camping community for any insider information for more secluded scenic coastal camp spots.
