Pub Camping Around Australia

FavoriteLoadingAdd to favorites

Pub Camping was something we knew nothing about before we hit the road. Once we found out about the Facebook page “Country Pub Camping” all that changed.

Pub/hotel camping is not only a cheap way to camp around Australia but it helps out our outback and county towns.

Buy a drink (it doesn’t have to be alcohol) or a counter meal, something to show your support for their camp.

We have added pub camps in every state and territory. The camps are either located at the pub or are within walking distance of a licensed place.

For each of these camps we have previously written a Full Write up on it. Click on the “Orange Highlighted” name of each pub to be redirected to the Full Post on that pub camp. This includes:

  • Photo’s
  • If Pet Friendly
  • Amenities
  • Google map location
  • Much more

These were 22 camps, now being updated with more, including Tasmania! Call back soon to check them out.
