    Definitely on a friends property locally on the Wakool river. With two kids under three, the holiday is definitely NOT about the journey, it is about the destination. So, we go close, and can have more fun relaxed family time together rather than frustrated in the car time :)

    Dunns Swamp Wollemi National Park, this place has everything, rocks to climb, aboriginal paintings, bush walks hard and easy, swimming, canoeing, fishing, great camping areas, not too far from civilisation but you feel a thousand miles away.

    Without a doubt, Lightening Ridge NSW. A booming opal town in its era & well worth the visit to one of Australias gems. The most memorable part for our family was sitting back around the campfire at Lorne Station watching the blanket of stars above with our 3 boys. The twinkling night sky seemed endless, something you’ll never see in the city. Lightening Ridge is at the top of our list for Favourite Camping spots. Regards Janine Homer :)

    So many to choose from but we do love Cobb & Co Nine Mile Creek Camp Ground which is a few k’s from Gympie, QLD. It is great for families, has it’s own billabong and you can have a campfire there and it is not to far from Woondum National Park where there are swimming holes, walking trails and 4WD tracks.

    Soldiers Point, Port Stephens, NSW what a lovely part of the world, lots for the whole family to do. Fishing, swimming, watching the Sunset over the water, Dolphins, whales, the list is endless……..

    Scout camp site – Miracle Mile @ Busselton – cheap camping right on the beach

    one of our favorite camping spots would have to be Coffs Harbour and the Big 4 at Emerald Beach. Its a great park and there is heaps to do in this part of Australia

    Waranga Basin, with the calm water, ideal for fishing, wildlife aplenty and the owners of the campground rehabilitate native “babies” too

    white tree bay on the myall lakes… the water is simply devine, perfect for families with younger kids

  • Fi

    Wye River Big 4; great clean campsite next to beach, river, koalas galore and a pub that has great sea views, bar meals and a selection of real ales!

    Our family think Myall Lakes National Park is the best place to go camping. Its not expensive, you have an amazing lake a few meters from the camp site, it has fantastic sand dunes to climb up & surf down, it has an amazing beach close by, some wonderful walking tracks & after a fantastic day of exploring some of the wonderful things Myall Lakes has to offer, you can sit by a camp fire & roast marshmellows & meet other campers. Its a magical place!

  • Shellgel

    The east coast of Tasmania! beautiful beaches :)

    We LOVE Lake Eildon in Victoria, just near Gough’s Bay around the ‘other side’ of the lake. There are a few toilets but essentially you are by yourself on the edge of the lake, BEAUTIFUL weather, great water temp and HEAPS of activities to do when you’re there (that is if you want to do anything at all!).

    Johanna Beach along the Great Ocean Road. nice and convenient to break up the trip. lots of room, toilets, FREE! was there a few days ago!

    Peach Trees because it’s peaceful, plenty of shade, spot for swimming and it’s close enough to home for a weekend get away anytime.

  • Dianne Procopio

    Augusta – south west corner of WA, where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet. The Blackwood River also runs past town out to Flinders Bay. The best spot to be during the summer as it nearly always has a sea breeze. There is plenty to do either at one of many beaches or on the river.

  • Natalie Kidd

    Douglas springs in NT, peaceful, spacious, warm water, everyone is friendly :-) and free…

  • Shayne

    Carnia George QLD, Great for the kids, 4×4, bush walking and fishing. Its remote and you get the native birds at your feet all day long. My son took a particular liking to the King Parrots.
