Easy access to an incredible beach, beautiful gardens fringed with wavering palm trees, and well-kept facilities make Mission Beach Hideaway Holiday Village one of our top places to camp on the East Coast. 

Mission Beach is a hot spot for sky diving, day trips to Dunk Island, and incredible outings to the Great Barrier Reef. Not forgetting that Mission Beach is a great place to spy the giant, prehistoric, Cassowary bird, and as a base to explore Etty Bay, Paronella Park, and Millaa Millaa Falls. 

Reach Mission Beach in under two hours from our Cairns campervan rental branch. 

Airlie Beach is a magical destination to explore this region of Queensland, including the stunning Whitsundays Islands, where “Is this real? Pinch me” is the most commonly heard phrase. 

Base yourself at the Big4 Whitsundays Tropical Eco Resort to enjoy Airlie Beach and its surroundings, and the resort itself. Set across seven acres, the tropical rainforest and Conway National Park mountains create shade for your campervan, which ups your comfort levels. The eco-cabins are great for car road trips. 

We love, love, love stays in Cape Hillsborough because the chances of waking to the sound of a kangaroo around your camper or tent are high.

There are two places to stay here that we rate, however, Smalleys Beach only has 12 spaces, so it can be tricky to get a spot. Luckily, if you didn’t manage to secure a place, Cape Hillsborough Nature Tourist Park is available, and just as perfect! 

With a range of accommodation options including tent spaces, unpowered sites and quaint beach huts, you will get a gorgeous beach on your doorstep. Not only that, but you will also get access to the wildlife that like Cape Hillsborough. Along with kangaroos, your neighbours may also be wallabies, echidnas, and (in season), turtles and passing whales! Can’t beat it. 

The 1770 Camping Ground is not the place you can just rock up to and hope there’s a space free. With its absolute beachfront site, secluded headland spot, and access to the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, this is the campground equivalent of a unicorn (i.e., it books out). Why? Because it’s one of the best campsites in Queensland!

How does rising early for a morning ocean dip before coffee in the relaxed town of 1770 sound? Great huh! No doubt, the idea of paddleboard, bushwalking, reef and estuary fishing, plus trips out to the mesmerising Lady Musgrave Island, sound appealing, too? It’s all possible from this gem of a campsite.

Fancy a stay 25 minutes from Noosa? Habitat Noosa Everglades Eco Camp is found in amongst 65 acres of National Park and perched on the edge of picturesque Lake Cootharaba. With an array of accommodation options from campsites (powered and unpowered) to suit your campa!

Boasting several waterfront activities from stand-up paddle boards, canoes, wave skis, kayaks, and tinnie hire, to the exciting sport of disc golf in a bushland setting. Habitat Noosa also offers daily boat and canoe tours, exploring one of only two everglade systems on the planet. They offer discounts offered to anyone staying on-site. The hardest part will be deciding what to do first. Habitat Noosa Everglades Eco Camp is the ultimate Accessible Wilderness Experience! 

If you've heard that Byron Bay’s a bit ‘done’, then listen up: Yamba is the new Byron! For the best of Northern New South Wales without Bryon’s crowdedness, this small fishing town is it. 

With a focus on sun, surf, and sand, Yamba is a fab place to pitch a tent or park your JUCY camper for a night or two (or three or four). Especially if you head to Calypso Holiday Park next to the Clarence River. 

In the heart of Yamba, Calypso’s cabin, camper, and tent sites give you easy access to the town’s eateries and attractions. As one of the best river camping spots in NSW, it’s also got the iconic Blue Pools nearby. And while Byron Bay may be a tad on the bustling side these days, it’s an easy 90-minute drive from Yamba. See, you can have your cake and eat it! 

In New South Wales’s South-West Rocks, you’ll find Arakoon National Park, a small park that packs a big punch in terms of natural wonders and friendly Aussie critters. It's an awesome spot for a day trip, and even better to camp there thanks to Trial Bay Gaol Campground, which sits on a beautiful peninsula. 

An hour north of Port Macquarie, the campground takes its name from the historic Trial Bay Gaol, built in 1886. Besides exploring the jail grounds and museum, a stay in the park affords access to bush trails, gorgeous beaches, surf spots, and epic wildlife encounters. In the winter, be sure to watch out for migrating whales off the coast. 

For road trippers looking for a change from beachside camping, head inland to the Blue Mountains National Park. Nestled amid the glory of this hazy-blue parkland and next to the Nepean River, you’ll find Euroka Campground. 

While Euroka doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some of the other sites we love, it offers a true Aussie bush camping experience we’d readily sacrifice hot showers for.

Use Euroka to explore the best of the mountains. Head to Three Sisters, take a ride on Scenic World’s epic attractions, meander trails like the Red Hands Cave Track, and go mountain biking along the Oaks Firetrail. 

If you’re travelling in a self-contained JUCY camper, you can free camp at Old Ford Reserve.  

Three and a half hours south of our JUCY Sydney campervan rentals, the blissed-out Murramarang Beachfront Holiday Resort awaits. We think it’s one of the best camping spots in New South Wales! Set between the beach and the bush, it’s just 15 minutes north of the famous Batemans Bay. This is an NSW South Coast gem.

Camp, glamp, pitch a tent or rent a cabin to enjoy the ample facilities and create a base for daily explorations of the local attractions. Like hiking the trails along Murramarang National Park’s 44km coastline, surfing the breakpoints, swimming and snorkelling at Pebbly or Pretty Beach, and don’t forget to make friends with the resident eastern grey kangaroos.

Off Victoria’s southern coast, one of our absolute fave places to camp awaits: Phillip Island. Why do we love it? Because it’s close to the action of waddling penguins, sleepy koalas, and lolling seals. While many visitors will do day trip to see the wildlife here, when you book a camper, tent, or cabin at The Phillip Island Beachfront Holiday Park, you're getting after-hours access once the crowds go home. 

While on Phillip Island, commit to the evening pygmy Penguin Parade (a must), plus visit the Koala Conservation Reserve, and explore the Rhyll Inlet Wildlife Reserve. Hop aboard a cruise to see some of the 20,000 seals that call Phillip Island home. 

Phillip Island is a 2-hour drive from our Melbourne campervan hire.
