FEE CAMPING
So-called fee camping includes caravan parks and station stays . These destinations offer more facilities in return for a higher fee . Many caravan parks offer a long list of attractions , including playground equipment , water , toilets , ensuite sites , a barbecue area , recreation room , swimming pool and more , and are generally close to the local township for the convenience of stocking up on supplies . This infrastructure has a cost to build and maintain , and is reflected in their fees . Many caravan parks are right on the beach , a lake or in an area of high appeal . Station stays draw their appeal from people seeking to appreciate living on the land . Others are drawn to the attraction of bush camping , similar to a national park , but seek a few more facilities . These are centrally located , so you can still camp away from the crowds , but return to base for a hot shower as required . Some stations have trailerable toilets , which is just as well , as the ground can be hard and rocky , almost impossible to dig a hole .
