The best river, stream, or creek caravan sites in Australia

Australia is a wild-at-heart continent, and camping is a part of its DNA thanks to Aussies who love camping holidays. It isn't hard to find a good caravan park or camping area—from five-star glamping at Uluru and family-friendly coastal holiday parks to rustic campsites at cattle stations and bush camping in national parks. Pitch your tent near the dunes and be lulled asleep by the sound of the surf, or wake up to bird calls and frog song in the rainforest. Take in the views from a country peak, or head out into the wilderness on an Outback road trip. And the best thing about camping in Australia? There's always perfect camping weather somewhere, no matter the time of year.

We currently have three dogs, cows, horses, goats and some friendly donkeys who love to meet new people for some pats and a carrot! The Stonesthrow Bush Camping sites are close to the beautiful shallow creek that meanders its way through the property. These sites have access to facilities - toilets, a powered shed, kettle, fridge and a sink. Some sites offer 2WD access yet still facilitate the experience of camping in the bush. THESE ARE THE ONLY SITES THAT CARAVANS CAN ACCESS. The Stonesthrow Elevated sites are located higher up, with stunning views of the valley. These sites are only accessible by capable 4WD and require you to bring your own sealed, chemical camping toilet and ensuite tent which we sight on arrival before allowing guests access to the track. Check-in must be during daylight hours to enable safe access. Off-road camper trailers can access these sites. Friendly dogs are welcome and must be kept on a lead when in close proximity to the cottage and other campers. Please note, the availability of certain sites is weather-dependent. We are not a 4WD adventure park. Vehicles must be left at your campsite and NOT used to explore the property. Exploration of the property is welcome by foot or bicycle: 1.2 km from bottom to top.

Please notify us if you are camping with other campers who have booked a separate site so we can have you camping beside each other During busy times, most weekend bookings are a minimum of 2 nights with 1 night bookings during the week, however occasionally we will have 1 night bookings on weekends. Check with your host to see availability on 1 night bookings. All campsites run parallel too the creek and are situated on the upper bank of Yabba Creek. Some have creek views, the other sites have trees between the creek and their site. All have mountain views. The main access to the creek is half way along the campground between site 8 and 9. Please do not leave your car parked in the walkway as this will block the entrance to campsite 9. Unfortunately, we lost many of our creek access points due to flooding.

Kayaks are supplied free for all campers to use. We just ask that you treat them with respect and return them back to their launching place once you have finished with them. It would pay to pack your reef walkers as the river is rocky in spots. There is lots of space for motorhomes and large camping vehicles to maneuver and park. Plenty of flat spots for your tent or vehicle. This campsite has access to flushing toilets (toilets are situated approx. 400m from the camp sites) and water (rainwater), but you will need to bring your own camping shower. Campfires are permitted outside of fire-ban season (please use the existing firepits). The property features a gorgeous rainforest with a walking track that you can follow safely, and you can also access the state forest next door if you're up for a bigger adventure. Lake Borumba is just down the road which permits water skiing, boating, fishing and other water recreation. The town ship of Imbil is only 7 minutes away where you can visit the many cafes, bakeries, The Imbil pub, Sunday markets, Produce and hardware store, supermarket, butcher, clothing shops, hairdresser, fishing supplies, Petrol station, post office and more. We are a working cattle and horse property but we do allow pets, however pet owners will need to abide by the rules as set out under the Rules and Safety "Pets" section.

We recently spent a couple of nights at Peaceful Valley Farm after it was recommended to us. Would highly recommend for a getaway that’ we could take the dogs. Natalie and John have a great set up that’s not too far from Perth. Thank you for a relaxing break.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Corral campsite. Really well run and designed campsite. The owners are friendly, clearly love what they do and their animals are an extension of their family. We will definitely be coming back.

Went camping here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and had an absolute blast! It was very clean and tidy, quiet and relaxing. The owner greeted us upon arrival and took us around to look at the camp grounds. Safe to say we will definitely be back for more camping here.

Weekend Trip to Bushywood at Woodfordskilake

I had such a great stay here over the weekend! This was actually my first solo trip, and I couldn’t have picked a better spot. The property was incredibly inviting and made me feel comfortable straight away, which meant a lot. Everything was really well set up, with clean and well-maintained amenities that made the stay easy and stress-free. One of the highlights was how dog-friendly it is. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and welcoming getaway. I’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Larapinta

We stayed at Site 4 (Panic Room) and it was such a beautiful spot. The views were stunning, especially at sunset, and it felt incredibly private with the next site at least 400 metres away. It’s also a bit more sheltered by the surrounding mountains, which made it feel even more tucked away. You don’t need a 4WD, just a car with good clearance. One of the best parts was having the cows all around the campsite, grazing and laying nearby, with lots of baby calves which was really special. There’s also a swing at the site which was a really nice touch. It comes with your own private portaloo too.

Weekend Trip to Larapinta

review a hipcamp: First time camping at Larapinta, what an epic spot. We camped at site 7, which was very easy to get to. Nice views, private and quiet. Its about a 10-15 minute walk to amenities, but we did bring our own for ease. Went exploring all the different sites on our last day after pack up. The tracks are really well maintained and the sites. If you are new to 4x4ing its the perfect place to get a bit of experience. Thank you Ashley and Belinda for an amazing spot, we will be coming back :)

Great place for some nice peaceful camping. The sites are spread far enough apart that you arent camping too close to anyone else. Lots of spots with shade available and quite a few close to the water as well. Fully recommend it for adult to young adult camping.

Australia camping guide

Where to go

New South Wales

New South Wales has a bit of everything that makes Australia such a great place to camp. Hipcampers can choose from snow-covered mountains, beaches, rainforest, and Outback plains—you can always find a good camping spot in NSW.

Queensland

Australia’s favourite place to escape the cold, the white-sand beaches north and south of Brisbane in southeast Queensland are warm enough to swim in all year-round. It may be too wet in summer to camp comfortably in the rainforest of Cairns, the Tropical North, and along the Great Barrier Reef, but winter is the best time to swim in the sea. The Outback, too, is at its best in the cooler months.

South Australia

A wild, dramatic, and mostly deserted coastline, South Australia’s rugged outback ranges and fantastic wine are just a few reasons to pitch a tent or park your caravan here. It may not always be swimming weather (the ocean waters are cold), but the beach camping here is some of the best in Australia.

Tasmania

Any time's a good time to visit Tasmania, a place that will delight intrepid Hipcampers with its wild and remote national parks and camping sites. You'll need a warm sleeping bag and good wet weather gear, as it can snow on the peaks near Hobart even in summer. But don't let a little dampness put you off, because it rains here all the time, which is why the World Heritage wilderness areas are so beautifully lush.

Victoria

Just down the road a bit from Melbourne, Victoria’s Great Ocean Road is a bucket-list road trip that lives up to the hype, with some of the best coastal camping areas around. Hiking and camping in the Grampians is good year-round, although the snow-covered high country peaks and the east coast national parks are best saved for the warmer months.

Western Australia

Western Australia is huge, so don’t expect to see it all in a couple of weeks. Let the weather be your guide and explore the coastal national parks, forests, wineries, and beaches south of Perth during the hot, dry summer, then head north to Broome and the Kimberley for a 4WD camping adventure in winter, when it rarely rains.

Northern Territory

When the wintertime chills hit the south, the Northern Territory is the place to be, especially if you’re fond of campervan road trips. The deserts of the Red Centre offer warm, fly-free days and cold nights ideal for gathering around the campfire. Kakadu National Park and the Top End are hot and dry—perfect for swimming.
