How To Find Cheap Camping Sites In Australia

Free camping spots are becoming rare in Australia. Cheap camping sites are still available but how do you find them? The best way is to do your research before you choose.

Have a look at what other people are saying. Some sites might be cheap but are severely lacking any sort of facilities or even a store close by.
