Cool Camping Solutions in Australia for 2026

One of the largest landmasses on the planet, Australia is both a country and a continent, waiting for a foreigner to explore the wonders of this huge country. Ever since Westerners first arrived on the shores of Sydney, sleeping under the stars has been a way of life, and in this short article, we take a look at camping in Australia today and the different solutions available for domestic and foreign tourists alike.

• Campervan – This has long been a firm favourite with the locals; a van that sleeps two and contains much of what you need for life on the road. Campervans have really changed over the years, and the latest versions have many add-ons to make life more comfortable. Many people bought an old van and carried out the conversion for a unique solution, giving them a one-of-a-kind camping solution.

• Camping Trailers – The latest models in the off road trailer family are ideal; connect to any suitable vehicle, and you are ready to go! These are the most popular at the moment; the go-anywhere trailer is fitted with everything you would need to go out into the wilderness, and you can buy new or used, or even rent for a few weeks. They obviously come in a range of sizes, sleeping from 2 to 8. Ideally, you want a good 4x4 off-road truck to pull a camping trailer, as this vehicle can go anywhere.

• Recreational Vehicle – The RV market is huge, with many retired couples opting to invest in an RV rather than buying a second home, which offers a lot more in terms of flexibility. Of course, if you want the top-of-the-range RV, expect a big price tag, as these vehicles are amazing and bring a new dimension to camping. Here are a few tractor safety tips that could save your life.

• Traditional Tent Camping – There are still those who prefer the traditional way of camping; throw everything in the back of the car and head off to their favourite campsite. Tents have changed a lot since the turn of the century, with bold new designs that make life on the road that much easier.’

Buying or Renting

If you have your heart set on owning a camping setup, you can choose from the above options, with both new and used units available from major dealers. Used units do come with a limited warranty, and the dealer will always stand by their terms and conditions. The dealer would be able to offer competitive finance for those who would rather pay on a monthly basis, whether for a new or used unit.

Renting a campervan, off-road trailer, or RV is many families' answer to taking a holiday in Australia, and there are major dealerships in every part of the country.
