We’ve all been there – too muddy, too dusty, no trees, too much shade… a good campsite can make or break any camping trip. But have you discovered the beauty of a drive-through campsite? Whether you’re a seasoned camper or just starting out on your caravanning adventure, these unsung heroes of the camp site world are well worth a second look. But what exactly are they, and why are they such a game-changer for campers? Here’s why these convenient sites are often the pick of the lot!
So what is a drive-through campsite?
Do you prefer your camping fuss-free and simple? Then drive-through is for you. Unlike traditional sites where you might have to reverse or navigate tight corners, these spots let you drive in one side and roll out the other. They come in all shapes and sizes, some with grassy areas for a more natural vibe and others offering concrete slabs for easy parking and setup.
So why are they becoming so popular?
Drive-through = convenience
Just like grabbing a burger without leaving your car, the main appeal of a drive-through site is its convenience and simplicity. Whether you’re towing a caravan, navigating a motorhome, or setting up a campervan, parking becomes a breeze. Forget the stress that can come with reversing or perfecting your angles—just pull in, park, and crack a cold one.
Pulling in late or taking off early? For road trippers that are on an adventure across NSW, the drive-through site is especially handy. If you’re stopping for just a night or two, these sites save you the hassle of unhitching and re-parking when it’s time to head off again. With the option of grass or slab sites, you can choose what works best for your setup—slabs are great for stability, while grass offers that classic camping feel.
Bigger vans, bigger space
Here in NSW, we’re wild for caravanning and our vans are getting better and bigger all the time. Today’s rigs are larger, more luxurious, and packed with features, which makes life on the road more comfortable—but also a bit trickier when it comes to parking.
Our Reflections Holidays drive-through sites are perfect for accommodating these modern giants. They’re spacious, easy to access, and ideal for motorhomes, caravans, and even setups with additional trailers or boats. Even for smaller rigs, the extra room and convenience are a big win.
Who are drive-through campsites for?
Everyone can enjoy the benefits of drive-through site. Families love them for the simplicity, solo travellers appreciate the ease of parking, and first-time campers benefit from the stress-free setup. And whether grass or slab is more your thing, there’s a drive-through option that suits your style.
