Are drive thru campsites powered?
Some are powered, some aren’t—it depends on the campground. Many holiday parks offer powered drive-thru sites with electricity and water, while more basic campgrounds might only have unpowered options.
Room to breathe: alternative camping styles for more space
If you can't find a drive-thru site in your desired holiday destination, some campgrounds offer larger sites with easy access, so you’re not stuck squeezing into a tight space or doing a 10-point turn to park. These give you enough room to park, set up, all hassle free. Extra space means less stress, more comfort, and no awkwardly close neighbours.
If you’re after something more off-grid, bush camping is a great way to go. Many national parks and state forests have spacious, no-fuss sites where you can park up without worrying about marked bays or crowded campgrounds. Just check if your setup can handle the terrain and whether you need to bring your own water and supplies—then kick back and enjoy the serenity.
