Best camping spots Australia
On our 17000 km roadtrip through Australia we saw a lot of camping grounds. Most of them were free some were paid. Sometimes it was just a 10KM furter drive to save 80 dollar a night! I selected my best camping spots Australia for you. Let’s help each other. If you have awesome spots to share, leave a comment! š

This place definatly deserves a place in the top 3. The grassfield is awesome to camp, you can make a bonfire and see the sunset and sunrise with kangaroos. But the best about this place are the koala’s all over the place! Do you see this picture below? Just 5 meters from my tent!
2 Fowlers bay (sand dunes)
The best milkyway I ever saw was at this stunning campspot. We were alone camping in the sanddunes. On the sanddunes you can see sunset over land and sunrise over the sea.
1 Uluru free campground
The best campground was the free campspot at Uluru. From our spot (only 10km from Uluru-Kata-Tjuta National Park) we could see sunrise and sunset on Uluru! When you park your tent at the right spot you can see it from your tent! Click here for more info about the free campingspot at Uluru.

Bummer! wish I had not already done the trip to Uluru! Would have loved to have been at that spot (may have to retrace those steps and do Uluru again)! Great list. We are going to do an around Oz trip next year, so will be using some of these… must pin them too!
