Aussies: A bunch of happy campers


Searches for caravan parks and camping grounds surge as many holiday locally


Caravan parks and camping grounds are experiencing a boom as many Aussies opt

for budget holidays, according to trends released today by truelocal.com.au. 


Searches for caravan parks and camping grounds on one of Australia’s leading

online local search directories have increased by a massive 31% over the past 12

months. 


Camping grounds and caravan parks are consistently rated in TrueLocal’s top 10

ranked categories, with Australians conducting more than 30,000 searches on the

topic each month. 


The most popular locations for caravan park searches were Victoria and

Queensland, closely followed by New South Wales.


“Searches for caravan parks and camping grounds on TrueLocal are at an all time

high as Australians hit the road and explore the sites our country has to offer,” said

TrueLocal editor, Myles Wearring.


“Many are feeling the effects of the economic downturn and overseas holidays are

simply too expensive. Caravan parks and camping grounds provide great value for

money and are cost efficient options for those wanting to take a break.”


Lane Cove River Tourist Park general manager, Andrew Daff said business is

booming. 


“We’re ridiculously busy. It’s incredible. We’ve broken revenue and occupancy

records and this is set to continue into summer,” Mr Daff said. 


TrueLocal features more than 2,800 caravan parks and camping grounds across

Australia for holidaymakers to choose from. Many have been reviewed by previous

visitors so travellers can make an informed choice about where to stop on their

adventures.
