Campsites or freedom camping?
Both are possible in Australia – it’s all in the mix!
⛺ Campsites offer you comfort: electricity, showers, kitchens and often a nice community atmosphere.
🚐 Freedom camping is ideal for anyone who likes to travel independently and inexpensively – but beware: overnight stays are only permitted in designated areas and vary from state to state.
We recommend a good combination of both in order to travel flexibly and relaxed.
👉 You can find all the tips and information on how free camping works legally, safely and stress-free in our blog:

💳 Credit card

When should I book my camper?
Australia is a popular travel destination – especially during the school vacations, in summer (Dec-Feb) and spring (Sep-Nov) it can quickly become scarce. We recommend this especially for routes with one-way rentals or special camper models:
🕒 The earlier the better – 6+ months in advance is ideal
In the short term, many providers may already be fully booked or only more expensive options may be available.
👉 You can find more tips on the best time to book in our blog article:

How long does the camper battery last?
The battery life depends on the type of vehicle and how it is used. On average, the following applies:
1-3 nights self-sufficient – then the vehicle should be reconnected to the power grid (e.g. at a campsite).
🚐 Important to know:
The on-board battery is only fully recharged while driving (slightly) or when connected to the mains.
☀️ Some campers also have a solar panel that supports the battery when parked – ideal for short stops without a power connection. Nevertheless, we recommend:
🔌 Connect to the mains every 2-3 nights – to ensure that the fridge, lights etc. run smoothly.
Can I drive on gravel roads?
🚐 With a standard camper (2WD), you may only drive on paved roads.
This means: paved roads or partially well-maintained access roads to official campsites or tourist attractions (depending on the provider).
🌄 O nly with a 4WD camper are you allowed to deviate from paved roads and drive on gravel or off-road routes.
But be careful:
For certain routes (e.g. Gibb River Road, Oodnadatta Track, Cape Leveque Road), written permission from the rental company is often required – and not all providers allow beach drives or river crossings.
💬 O ur tip: If you’re planning an off-road adventure, just let us know – we’ll tell you which routes are permitted and which campers are suitable.
Do I need a credit card?
💳 Yes, a credit card is required to collect the vehicle.
Even if you can pay for your booking with Ausventure Travel conveniently by credit card or bank transfer, all rental companies require a valid credit card on collection.
This is required in order to:
- pre-authorize the deposit (liability sum)
(depending on the insurance package selected), - to charge any additional fees such as tolls, fines or fuel costs retrospectively.
💡 Tip: A prepaid credit card or debit card is not accepted in most cases. Make sure that your credit card is valid at the time of collection and has a sufficient limit.
