Caravan and Camping Guide was born from a very simple problem: we couldn't find honest, trustworthy advice when we were building our own rig.
When we were researching our new caravan and selecting the right tow vehicle, we struggled to find reliable reviews that weren't just sales pitches. We realized that if we were finding it this hard, other Aussie families probably were too. Whether you are planning a complete fit-out of a new van or just looking for clever space-saving ideas, we aim to be the resource we wish we’d had.

We’re a family of four from Brisbane with a serious passion for the open road. Our journey started in a Jayco Starcraft, but as the kids grew, so did our needs. These days, you’ll find us exploring in our upgraded Option RV and a 300 Series LandCruiser.
Our 11-year-old twins are seasoned travellers now—they’ve seen everything from the sun-soaked beaches of the Yorke Peninsula to the red dust of Winton. Caravanning has given them an education you just can't get in a classroom (like finally learning who Banjo Paterson is while standing in the heart of the outback!).

We love caravanning!
Caravanning around Australia is a dream for many, including us. We are slowing chipping away at it though!
Check out where we have been so far on our travels.
Why We Do This
This website isn’t an online store, and it never will be. We are here to provide independent, practical advice based on real-world experience. We’ve learned a lot the hard way—from navigating towing capacity guides to keeping the peace while camping with pets.
Our goal is to share:
Honest Product Reviews: From Kings vs Darche gear to Starlink for Caravans Australia, if we use it, we’ll tell you exactly what we think of it.
Practical Tips: Whether it’s easy camping meals or advice on caravan insurance, we want to make your journey smoother.
Inspiration: We’re slowly “chipping away” at the dream of a full lap, exploring places like the Flinders Ranges, Uluru, and the Daintree.

If you have a question about a specific bit of gear or a destination that we haven’t covered yet, please reach out. We’ll do the research and publish a guide for you and the rest of our community.
We’re all about helping you make memories as rich as the Aussie landscapes we love to explore. So, pack the van, grab the dog, and let’s get out there!
