The BEST Way to Camp in Australia!
A
wesome for Aussies and overseas visitors seeking an alternative to overcrowded campsites. Last school holidays, we wanted to get away and explore more of Australia. It was decided that we would head straight down the east coast from Queensland to Victoria, enjoying the beaches along the way. I knew early on this was going to be a budget adventure and as most of you know, tight purse strings usually means camping. So imagine my disappointment when I discovered that some of the caravan and private parks along our route were charging a triple-digit number for the privilege of camping at their overcrowded campsite. No thanks! That’s when I discovered Youcamp and never looked back.

Youcamp is a private land camping adventure, kind of like Airbnb for campers. Basically, private landowners with property to spare, rent out their land for campers to enjoy a more peaceful experience…or if you have noisy kids like me...a more peaceful experience for the rest of the campers. It’s a win-win situation as it offers property owners an additional source of income and families a unique place to camp with space to breathe. Youcamp offers authentic camping how it should be, in a group, surrounded by nature, sitting around a fire and connecting with loved ones.
How it all started … Youcamp was born around a campfire in NSW in 2013. The first property that went ‘’live’’ belonged to the founders after they realised that opening private land up to campers could return an authentic holiday where families could choose the kind of getaway they want.
