Happy Camper Stories

Hi all. My name is Rhidian and im trying to see as much of Australia as possible in a year. I was meant to fly from Melbourne to Perth and the checked out van relocation deals and there was one there. So myself and my friend Rhys randomly decided to go for it.Id recommend this experience to anyone, we had an amazing time. We decided to do the Great Ocean Road on the way and saw some fab things, highlight...

‘You must be mad! What about all those big spiders?’ was the response we got from some people when we announced, on retiring, that we would be travelling round Australia and New Zealand in a campervan for 3 months then heading off to SE Asia to travel round by bus and train. Fortunately we didn’t take any notice (and didn’t see any big spiders) and headed off anyway for the trip of a lifetime! My two sons were our inspiration as...

At long last my best friend and me are going to visit that great land downunder. During our 42 years of marriage we have travelled a fair bit, 43 countries, but have never done the Big One, Australia.We are retired now and have the time to do it. We have booked a Cheapa Campervan with Apollo in Perth. When doing the research thay came out in front of all the other campervan hire companies and have given us a very...

Since retiring, our trips travelling round Australia and New Zealand have been the most memorable journeys we have ever made. From Cairns to Melbourne and then Perth back to Perth via the Red Centre and the Kimberley gave us a glimpse into the wilderness and vastness that is Australia. Most of this was in a Motorhome fully supported by Cheapa Campa. The minor things that needed fixing were attended to straight away and there was always someone at the end of the phone with advice...

Normal 0 I am one of those unfortunate Australians who was born in the middle of winter. I decided 2012 would be different. I was going to turn 39 in the sunshine, baby, and that meant going on a dream holiday to the USA, where July means summer, swimming, long days and good times. And I decided the best way to do it was in a Cheapa Campa motorhome with my husband Luke, tooling our way around California, known...

We are about to embark on a road trip from Lax to DEN via Grand canyon... I had a car booked and was picking out hotels along the way.... sooo time consuming when you have no idea where you are going.  And then my brilliant 16 year old daughter said PLEASSEEE can we get and CamperVan!  OMG! Im so glad she mentioned it.  Our kids have loved travelling in RV's since they were wee moppets and I'm thrilled to see...

We would just love the opportunity to travel in style from Adelaide to Perth for a Competition event being held in April 2013. This would be a holiday to dream of doing, admiring the scenery along the way and experience the many and wonderous spectaculars that Australian roadways have to offer. To arrive rested without the frustration that long distance travel can cause would make the highlight of a Cheapa Campa holiday. I will be competing in events each day in...

myself and my partner work very hard-myself as a registered nurse and my partner as a contract labourer. I work shift work and he woks a3 week on and 6 day off roster. We have dreamed of traveling from Melbourne to Hobart and then up the east coast back to cairns for the past couple of years. We have both booked 3 weeks off work from 28th Jan 2013 -18th feb 2013 and decided to treat ourselves! On our holiday...

We arrived at Sydney airport shortly after breakfast some crazy amount of hours after leaving London.  We were tired, hot, disorientated, dragging much too much luggage and wondering just how we were to get to our accommodation in the centre of Sydney.  Whilst pondering the array of different buses, ticket machines and notices we were accosted by the “busman” who quickly found us the most cost effective method, led us to the bus and wished us a happy holiday.  He was so helpful and friendly and must surely...

In 2008 I lost part of my family (my sister, brother and my two nephews) when they left South Africa for Australia. I can remember short after they left on of our newspaper headings were : “800000 SA’s have immigrate”. Yes they are going to start all over again and are just leaving us. Why? What's so special about Australia? Why would they do it? I hate Australia. I hate Australia.For years I loved it when we played Rugby against...

Went on a Tassie Tarkine Wilderness adventure with my girlfriend, looking to find the last community of Thylacine's reportedly hanging out near the Pieman.Didn't find the Tiger's, but instead the most diverse and amazing variety of fungi one could ever imagine.

 My wife and I flew to Adelaide from Cairns and picked up our Camper van for a trip to Perth across the Nullabor, Along the way we met many friendly travellers and spent some pleasant evenings around the camp fire reliving our travels. A wonderful experience and adream come to, cross the Nullabor. From Perth we flew back to Cairns. We have now booked our next camper hire. Ted and Jan

With hubby and our youngest son visiting family in Ireland, I decided to take our 9 year old son, Sean, away on a bit of a road-trip. Just the two of us, the open road, our sleeping bags, some two-minute noodles and our trusty 2 berth CheapaCampa Campervan. We were lucky to get an automatic Volkswagon for our trip which made it so easy for me. Being a first-time campervan driver, I was a little nervous about driving something so...

My partner and I will be doing our first trip through the outback in just a couple of weeks.  We are very excied to be travelling this great country of ours in a Cheap Campa!   I'm sure it will live up to all of our expectations and that the sights and sounds we encounter along the way will live in our memories for many years to come.  We would love to win another holiday and thank you for the opportunity to participate. 

My partner and I have been together for 7 years, we have a beautiful 2 year old son and another on the way. We would love to travel Australia as a family of 4 as we beleive that this would be a great bonding experience for our son and new addition to the family. We love the outdoors and have lots of family scattered around Aus that we would love to visit and show bubs off to!

In September we will take a dream holiday around Northland and the Bay of Islands. We have a 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son - not sure if we're mad! We've always wanted to see the beautiful tip of the North Island, but it seemed so expensive and far away since we live in Christchurch! My husband has been doing his MBA part time for the past 2.5 years (he started just before our youngest child was...

Can't wait to get away
