Australia’s Best Hipcamps to Visit in 2023

To help you find the best camping in the country, each year we compile data from bookings, reviews, and ratings across more than 500,000 available sites. We use this to identify top-performing Hipcamp properties and crown the best Hipcamps in Australia for the Hipcamp Awards. We’re so thankful to have all of our Hipcamp Hosts as part of our community, and we’re so proud of all Hosts who provide unforgettable experiences all year long! How were winners selected?
