FREE and CHEAP CAMPING IN AUSTRALIA

Find a camp: The most comprehensive and detailed resource for finding campgrounds. If you don’t find what you’re after here, try the following.
Caravan On Tour: Scroll down to find the map. Not all free campgrounds are on the map, but there are a lot.
Australian Campsites: A map of campgrounds. They do not list rates. The campsite I looked up was (upon further research) $37 per night. I would not call this particularly cheap. But this is a good resource for locating campgrounds on a map.
Explore Australia: More campsites appear as you zoom in. One of the best sites for finding campsites in the Northern Territory.
