ended up purchasing that campervan over the weekend. Gotta wait a couple of weeks to pick her up cause they towing folks have a bit of a backlog, then will probably empty it, clean it all up check for anything that needs work maybe give it a service and we pick a destination and give it a try!

If you like any good camping spots that work for caravans/campervans let me know. I cant keep going to tidal river all the time.

Avoid at all costs.

Im seeing mixed things about caravans and campers. A few people suggestion it should be tent only. How do you find it?

I was with a group of seven, we got there early and in winter. A couple of guys came to ask us for some weed and we said no. It was fine.

Full of inconsiderate dickheads quite frankly.

There's a super secret spot at the end of swan bay. No amenities, probably illegal but people do it anyway. Sun rises over the water which is a nice view.

Closer to home - O'Brien's Crossing.

Maybe try some spots along the Murray River. I'm thinking Barmah (red gums) and maybe bits of Hattah-Kulkyne NP. Great birdwatching at both. Bearing in mind that the cold weather isnt too far away now.

hoping to build to that yeah. Starting the wife off with some more "glamping" locations. Probs ensuite sites with power (I know I know, hardly even camping!) but shes been burnt by the proms weather the last couple of times we've gone.

Turton's Creek, Bear Gully. I'll think of more later!

Nelson at Glenelg River has a great caravan camping ground.

It's a long way tho.

Right on. Bimbi Park in the Otways is great.
