Australian national parks offer some of the most spectacular camping on earth — from red desert to tropical rainforest, rugged coastline to alpine wilderness.
NSW: Royal National Park
Just 36km from Sydney, Royal National Park is among the oldest national parks in the world. Bonnie Vale provides surprisingly remote-feeling coastal camping. Walk-in sites at North Era and Burning Palms deliver genuine wilderness experience close to the city.
Victoria: Wilsons Promontory
The Prom at the southernmost tip of mainland Australia is one of the most beautiful places in the country. Tidal River campground provides powered and unpowered sites with direct beach access. Book months in advance for peak periods.
WA: Cape Le Grand
Lucky Bay in Cape Le Grand National Park near Esperance consistently ranks as one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia. Kangaroos on the beach are genuine and not staged. Book through the Parks and Wildlife WA app.
