Juicy Campers Cairns
The best way to get around Australia's beautiful country side is to rent a camper van. It gives you freedom, independence and flexibility when travelling around the country. The most popular places to visit include the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru/Ayers Rock, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Melbourne and many others. There are plenty of campsites along the coast where you can stay for a few days before heading inland to explore some of the other attractions. If you're planning on visiting the Outback then there are numerous campgrounds dotted throughout the region. These are often located at remote locations such as Flinders Ranges National Park, Kakadu National Park and Litchfield National Park. They offer accommodation ranging from basic tent sites to fully equipped cabins. Some even offer swimming pools and hot showers.
When choosing a campsite, try to find one close to the main town if possible. This means you'll save time getting back and forth between the city and the campsite. Most campsites offer a range of activities including horse riding, fishing, canoeing, bushwalking and mountain biking. If you're looking for something a little quieter then take a look at the self-contained units. Many of these come complete with kitchens, bathrooms and living areas. In addition they are usually situated next to waterfalls or rivers giving them an idyllic setting.
You don't necessarily need to book ahead to secure a spot at a campsite. Just turn up early and see what spaces are left. Some sites require reservations but most don't.
