Best Caravan Parks in Australia. Travellers tell it as it is!
What are the Best Caravan Parks? Great location, clean amenities, friendly, helpful staff, excellent facilities, AND affordable (just for starters)! Travellers share their favourites from all over the country. What travellers are seeking in a great caravan park is highly individual - a feature which impresses one traveller, may be highly irritating to another. That being recognised, some features which caravanners seek are almost universal. The best caravan parks share features such as:
- Clean and tidy amenities
- (Often) a great location
- Availability of shade
- At least a few blades of grass (if at all possible!)
- Friendly and helpful park staff
- And perhaps most critical of all, a level of facilites commensurate with the price being paid.
Other desirable caravan park features may include: - On-site laundry
- Camp kitchen
- Swimming pool, tennis court or other on-site recreational facilities
- Spacious sites
- A variety of accommodation choices: cabins, powered/unpowered sites, ensuite options
- Childrens playground
The list of features displayed by the best caravan parks is almost limitless, but we'll stop there - for now! What we find amazing is that out of all the years of travelling we've done, very few caravan parks stand out in our minds (for the right reasons, that is). It really is difficult to find those that we are happy to recommend, and would love for visitors to this site to share their own "Best Caravan Park" experiences, for our benefit and for the benefit of others. Follow the state based links below to see our favourites, benefit from the experience of other travellers, and pay it forward by sharing your own. Note: These recommendations are our genuine best caravan park experiences. To maintain the credibility of ourselves and this site, there is absolutely no commercial arrangement with these caravan parks. In fact, in order not to taint the experience in any way, we haven't introduced ourselves or our website to any of them prior to, or during our stay at their caravan park.
