Christmas Camping in Western Australia, But Not As You Know It

min read

Summer is here, Christmas is coming, and state borders have reopened. With many Australians on holidays but not yet able to go overseas, they are hitting the road instead and exploring this great country.

This increase in road trip holidays has created an increase in demand for campsites. Aircamp - an app that helps campers and travellers find camping grounds nearby - has revealed that over 75% of campsites are already booked up between Christmas and the New Year.

The New Way To Roadtrip in Western Australia

These stats may come as a surprise to many who still have outdated ideas of camping. Caravanning and camping is not how it used to be. Gone are the days of piling into a tiny motorhome, eating stale sandwiches for a week and having a deck of playing cards as your only entertainment. With quirky vans, upgraded amenities and amazing locations to visit, camping is cool.

If you are considering an Aussie campervan experience, here are some of our favourite caravans, vans, and motorhomes, based in and around Perth.
