Australia’s caravanning community is blessed with some of the most amazing beach camping locations in the world. Have a look at some of our favourite coastal campsites from around the country*.

Queensland

North Stradbroke Island: Yes, you do need to catch a ferry, but with seven caravan-friendly sites on the superbly white Stradbroke beaches to choose from when you get there, you’ll agree it’s worth it.

Northern Territory

Lodge of Dundee, Dundee Beach: One of surprisingly few coastal campgrounds in NT suitable for caravans (the crocs might have something to do with this), Lodge of Dundee packs a lot of facilities into this scenic beachside location, 150km from Darwin.

Western Australia

Normans Beach camping, Albany: Very secluded and quiet, what it lacks in facilities, it more than makes up for in scenery.

South Australia

42 Mile Crossing, Coorong: Overlooking the iconic Coorong and Younghusband Peninsula, 42 Mile Crossing is one for those looking to get back in touch with nature, and replace the nuisance of city life with the sound of seabirds and waves.

Victoria

Johanna Beach camping area, Great Ocean Road: If you’re travelling the Great Ocean Road, then this is one of the perfect places to settle in and enjoy the Southern Ocean waves. Caravans should access the ground via the Red Johanna Rd.

Tasmania

Jeanneret Beach camping area, Bay of Fires: trying to choose the best campsites in Tasmania is a tough call, but one of the best would have to be Jeanneret Beach, in the magnificent surrounds of Bay of Fires National Park. Luckily, if Jeanneret is too rowdy, there are three others in the National Park to choose from.

New South Wales

Diamond Head camping area, Diamond Head: Plenty of facilities and located in the heart of NSW’s Holiday Coast. If this large camp ground is too busy, try out the other three coastal campsites in Crowdy Bay National Park.

*Always check with park/camp officials for caravan access and parking availability.
