A number of campsites across NSW have thrown their gates wide open and welcoming visitors to various outdoor accommodations. Whether roughing it under the stars in a sleeping bag or enjoying the comforts of home with glamping, being outdoors seems to be becoming more popular during the winter months.
Milder temperatures in the Outback attract bush campers to sites like the coach and horses campground in Paroo-Darling national park. Campsites at Booderee national park, Mungo, Treachery camp and holiday haven in Kangaroo valley permit guests to light campfires during the winter months to give the feel of traditional camping. Whilst wildlife enthusiasts can pitch a tent amongst a family of friendly kangaroos at Durras lake or Beachcomber holiday park and there’s also a good chance seeing emus, echidnas and bandicoots at the park.
NSW Minister for Trade, Stuart Ayres said: “Winter is an ideal time to camp in many areas of the State, and I would encourage everyone to get out into Regional NSW for a short break or holiday. Travellers can expect sunny days in the Outback, warm ocean temperatures along the Pacific Coast and many campsites across the state provide firewood so visitors can enjoy their own campfire.”
