    The Camping Thread #2

    This camping thread is for sharing tips and ideas of camping with little ones (and bigger ones!). Camping/caravan ground recommendations too. It's one thing to read a review from a mag or paper, but sometimes it's quite another to hear feedback from someone with a family actually experiencing it.
    Please share your stories of great spots, clean facilities and friendly locals, so we can keep doing this, Australia wide.
