“ THE KEY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CARAVAN PARKS
AND FREE CAMPS IS FACILITIES ”
There’s something secretly endearing about off-
grid camping, escaping the rat race to find your
own unique patch of paradise and saving a few
bucks in the process.
Of course, there are different perspectives of off-
grid camping. To some it could be as simple as
pulling off the highway for the night to camp in an
overnight parking bay where the road trains howl
by all night. These overnight spots can become
overcrowded in peak holiday season. And while
it may be a cheap alternative to caravan park
accommodation, the proximity to the highway,
lack of facilities and general appeal is left wanting.
The best bush-camping spots can be found with
apps such as Wiki Camps. Simply search for
locations along your route to find camps that
would otherwise go unnoticed. Out of sight, out of
mind in most cases. In addition to the description,
you can be guided by other travellers’ reviews
and photos.
