- Drive-through sites – essential for very large rigs
- 20amp power supply minimum
- Grey water disposal points
- Dump stations with good access
- Laundry facilities for longer stays

Best RV Parks in Australia
The Discovery Holiday Parks network operates some of Australia’s best RV-specific facilities. Big4 Holiday Parks also cater well to larger rigs. Many regional showgrounds now offer excellent RV parking with full hook-ups at very competitive prices.
Showground Camping
Agricultural showgrounds across regional Australia offer excellent value RV parking. Usually $15-25 per night with power and water, hot showers and toilets. The Camps Australia Wide app lists hundreds of showground options.
Free RV Parking
Many Australian towns actively encourage RV visitors by providing designated free overnight parking areas. These economic-development initiatives mean RVers can often stay free in exchange for spending money in the local community.
