RV TRAVEL
With so many amazing
campsites to choose from,
the task of narrowing down
to five favourites is a big ask.

national parks that get the
nod. Managed for both
conservation and recreation,
visitor numbers are strictly
controlled. You’ll rarely be
shoehorned into a tight

In most cases, there’s plenty
of room to move and the
restriction of numbers works

in their natural habitat.

so its best suited to compact
offroad rigs.
There are two designated
to the beach and the other
north at the inlet. The northern
camp tends to attract the
volume of visitors including
quad bikes, so if you like some
peace and quiet, you may find
a better spot further south.
