Caravan & Camping with Kids Volume 14 editors letter

Caravanning and camping is booming. In fact, according to Tourism Research Australia, this became the most popular holiday type for Australians in 2019, with an additional 5.5 million caravan and camping trips taken compared to the previous year, and an extra 173.3 million nights spent caravanning and camping annually. Those are some pretty hefty stats!

Of course, the devastating bushfire season coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic has put the beaks on what was an incredible period of growth for the industry. But the good news? Regional tourism is on the up and up, and very much from of mind in 2021.

How lucky are we to call the Land Down Under home? Our backyard is simply brimming with spectacular destinations to explore – from its red heart to its brilliant blue coastlines – and the team at Caravan & Camping with Kids is excited to bring you another issue showcasing the very best this country has to offer. When has there ever been a better time to get outside, breathy in the fresh air and explore Mother Nature (at a safe social distance, of course)?

From the ultimate Aussie road trips to secluded stays perfect for getting away from it all; from the best places to chase the Southern Lights to the top locates to pitch your tent if you want to go off-grid on an island; from holiday parks offering the most immersive kids’ clubs for when mum and dad need a break to lesser-known national parks ripe for exploring away from the crowds; from remote 4WD tracks that will give you serious bragging rights to an insider look into what it’s like to travel full time with teens in tow… we’ve got you covered. Phew!

We hope this issue inspires you to visit new destinations, fall back in love with golden oldies and ultimately, hit the road for an adventure that all ages will remember for years to come.
