The caravan, camping and motorhome industry is more popular than ever and increasing numbers of Australians are hitting the road to explore this beautiful country.
Caravan, motorhome and recreational vehicle manufacturers have responded with some great new innovations to make touring more comfortable than ever.
Caravan and holiday park owners have also invested heavily to improve facilities and infrastructure. And with many parks situated on many of Australia’s most picturesque landscapes, staying in parks is now more comfortable and enjoyable than ever.
Touring remains popular amongst Australia’s retirees but driving recent growth is the baby boomers who are investing in recreational vehicles to take them on a well-earned trip of a lifetime.
Recent trends have also seen the camper trailer market explode with many Australians heading off the beaten track to explore the outback. Recent developments in communications, alternative power, and off-road technology means that ‘roughing it’ is no longer what it used to be.
Whether you’re planning a short family holiday or an extended tour of Australia, there’s heaps of information available from industry organisations, tourism bodies, parks operators and more to help you plan your holiday and enjoy every moment.
Free touring guides are available from most states. They feature holiday park lists, maps, and useful contact information. Following is a list of contacts to obtain your copies:
