New South Wales (NSW) is a dream destination for anyone planning a relaxed campervan holiday filled with stunning coastal stretches, lush hinterlands, and a healthy dose of Aussie sunshine. Best of all, it has an impressive number of stunning campsites to check out, dotted all across the state.  

This guide will walk you through some of the best powered campsites dotted across NSW, as well as a few handy tips to create a stress-free travel itinerary.

Sydney, New South Wales, is not only one of Australia’s most iconic destinations; it also serves as the perfect starting point to access some of Australia’s best camping and national parks. Whether you have visited before or this is your very first trip, travelling by camper or motorhome offers a wonderfully flexible way to see it all—famous landmarks, hidden coastal coves, and rolling national parks.  

Instead of juggling different accommodation bookings and rigid check-in times, you get to enjoy the convenience of a self-contained home on wheels, giving you the freedom to linger in that scenic spot just a little longer if you wish. In this guide, we will cover everything from the advantages of a road trip in Sydney to top routes and practical tips, helping you make the most of your adventure in and around Sydney. 

Unlike our northern hemisphere counterparts, an Aussie winter can mean many things: perfect Outback weather in the north, serene hinterland frosts on the coast, as well as some (surprisingly) epic ski slopes in Australia’s south. From June to October, the high country in New South Wales and Victoria dusts itself in white, inviting Aussies to dust off their ski gear and hit the slopes! 

The best part? Because every resort sits within a day’s drive of the main east-coast cities, it’s ridiculously easy to weave the snowfields into a winter road trip. Simply pick up a campervan hire in Sydney, Canberra or Melbourne, set your own travel itinerary, and roll into base towns like Jindabyne or Mansfield to base yourself while you hit the snow resorts in Australia. To help, we have put together a list of the top places to go skiing in Australia so you can choose the best Australia ski hills for your upcoming winter adventure!
