7 Of The Best Holiday Parks in Sydney

From high value entertainment to relaxing simplicity and convenience, we’re talking about some of the best holiday parks near Sydney.

With beaches, family friendly attractions, shopping districts, and so much more, Sydney is a great place to pick up your motorhome hire! You’ll more than likely want to spend a few days in the area before you tackle the rest of NSW, you can’t freely camp on the roads in New South Wales so you’ll need somewhere to stay. Luckily, there’s a variety of campgrounds near Sydney.

Our motorhomes are especially great for camping, and you’ll be spoiled with the luxury of having your own shower and toilet. When taking your motorhome camping in Sydney, you’ll want to find a powered site. We recommend that you connect to power at least every second day – this will make sure your motorhome’s fridge stays cool and everything else is charged. Also, unless you’re travelling less than 12km to a recognised holiday park, please do not take our motorhomes on an unsealed road.
