FIGHT TO KEEP YOUR CAMPS OPEN – THE FUTURE OF FREE CAMPING

 

 

With free camping offering so much to travellers, it’s little wonder we get upset when we hear of huge camp fee rises, or even worse, hear of campgrounds being closed. While many of us can afford to stay in RV parks each night, there are plenty of people on a low income who need free camps to be able to afford the travelling lifestyle.

It’s an issue that affects the whole RV community, but just how bad is the situation? And more importantly, what can we do to ensure the future of freedom camping and free camping in this country? Since this is such a hot topic right now, we decided to investigate further. We wanted to find out what the real situation is, who is trying to stop us free camping, who is helping us, and how we might have to adapt the way we travel.

We spoke to some of the leading voices in the RV community and councillors fighting for our rights as free campers. In doing so, we discovered the truth behind the recent shut downs in Victoria and other regions of Aus.

Where will free camping be in five years? Are farmstays the way of the future? Are backpackers to blame? These questions and more were answered in issue 215 - our biggest investigation ever!
