Free camping Australia

Free camping in Australia is very common. One of the best apps for free camping in Australia is Wikicamps. The Wikicamps app gives you a lot of campingspots in Australia. With the filter you can look for the exact campspot you want. The Wikicamps app costs 6,99 euro.

Free camping in Australia made simple

The Wikicamp spots have different places, from full campsides with pools, showers and restaurants till parkingplace where you can camp. Not pay will not say that the campground has no facilities. I think 50% of the free campgrounds have toilets. And sometimes they even have complete kitchens, barbecues and WiFi.

In the Wikicamps app you can choose to get the data offline on your mobile phone or tablet. So you always have the right information wherever you are.

Wikicamps in National Parks

When you camp in National Parks the park often have an entrance fee (most of them 12 AUS dollar per vehicle) and an price per person. (Between 7.5 and 10 AUS dollar)

Site details

A tab in the Wikicamps app is site details. Here you can find the address telephone number and more detail like coordinates.

The coordinates are handy to use. Sometimes there are a couple of restareas on one long way but don’t have an address. With the coordinates you can plan your route to one of the restareas. Save money and data and use an offline map to make your route.

Prices Wikicamps

This tab on the Wikicamps app provides you the prices per campside of per adult or a combination of that. My suggestion is to always check the comments for actual prices and the status of the campground. Sometimes the comments mention a better and cheaper campground nearby.

An awesome way to get a impression of the campground is the pictures tab. Just check is out!
