Easter falls in the middle of that period, and most camping sites will be full and also more expensive, especially those along the coast or near popular attractions. Here’s a list of public holidays to watch out for:

As well, there are the school holidays between terms, which vary from state to state. These are also periods when destinations become busy/expensive:

It’s certainly worth booking ahead for the Easter weekend – some sites, for example Airlie Beach, already have limited availability. You might want to consider joining one of the big holiday park networks such as big4 or discovery holiday parks – you can then benefit from discounts on multiple bookings. If you haven’t hired a van yet check out wickedcampers.com.au/ who are offering a 50% discount this weekend.
