Camping Australia Trip Reviews
I would highly recommend this tour to any one thinking about it as it was brilliant
Outback Camping Adventure
- Outback Camping Adventure (ex Yulara)
The tour was perfect, Matt and Bella were great guides and made the trip so special.
Took the tour hosted by Robert & Frederico. Robert was always full of energy when he spoke and he had lots of stories. Whenever we saw animals on the outback roads he stopped and allowed us to have a look and photograph them. He did this with camels. He found a dead snake on the side of the road and then pulled it into our van for us all to have a look at it. He found a thorny devil on the side of the road and pulled it into the van for all of us to look at it. He was very knowledgeable with explaining the story of the Southern Cross star constellation. I liked that the tour guides allowed us to swap seats in the van and sit up the front with Robert. I liked the number of stops we had including Erldunda at the geographic centre of Australia and the many photo opportunities on the side of the road. It was fabulous to see Uluru and I was amazed at the height and size of it. We saw the sunset over Uluru which changed the colour of the rock which was sensational. We also saw the sunrise over Uluru and I enjoyed visiting the Aboriginal cultural centre. Aboriginal art is stunning and the people are friendly.

What our customers ask about Camping Holidays in Australia
When is the best time to go camping in Australia's outback regions?
For comfortable outback camping in Australia plan your trip between April and October. During these months the weather is mild and predictable especially in popular areas like the Red Centre and Flinders Ranges. At Uluru temperatures hover around 20-25°C during the day making exploration pleasant. "Between June and August nighttime temperatures can drop below zero so make sure to bring appropriate sleeping gear for a comfortable sleep." These cooler months provide reliable conditions for outdoor activities and stargazing.
What wildlife might I encounter while camping in Australia?
Australia's outback offers regular wildlife sightings particularly during the quiet hours of dawn and dusk. The West MacDonnell Ranges are known for their rock wallabies dingoes and varied bird species. "At Ormiston Gorge we saw yellow-footed rock wallabies and at dawn near Uluru we encountered kangaroos and various desert birds." While most Australian wildlife keeps its distance visitors should maintain respectful spacing for safety.
How are meals handled during Australian camping tours?
Food service varies by tour with meals prepared by guides or through group participation at campsites. The 8-Day Adelaide to Uluru Tour includes 7 breakfasts 4 lunches and 4 dinners. "The food was amazing - our guide prepared fantastic meals even in remote locations like Karijini National Park and we had great barbecues under the stars at Ayers Rock Resort Campground." Tours can accommodate dietary restrictions with advance notice.
How physically demanding are camping tours in Australia?
Physical requirements depend on the tour but most need moderate fitness. Daily walks range from 2-6 kilometers including notable treks like the Kings Canyon Rim Walk (6km) and Valley of the Winds Walk at Kata Tjuta. "The hiking was manageable with regular breaks and our guide at Karijini National Park always ensured everyone was comfortable with the pace." Some walks require carrying up to 3 liters of water.
What cultural experiences are included in Australian camping tours?
Tours connect visitors with Aboriginal culture through guided walks rock art visits and traditional owner insights. Programs at Uluru focus on Anangu culture while Kimberley tours often visit Aboriginal heritage sites. "Our guide shared incredible knowledge about the Aboriginal culture and dreamtime stories making the experience much more meaningful."
