The 2021 annual edition of Caravan & Camping with Kids magazine, a part of Australia's #1 multi-platform Holidays with Kids family travel network, is out now. 

Caravan and camping is booming. According to Tourism Research Australia, it was the most popular holiday type for Australians in 2019, with an additional 5.5 million caravan and camping trips taken compared to the previous year, and an extra 17.3 million nights spent caravanning and camping annually.

Of course, the devastating bushfire season coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic has put the brakes on what was an incredible period of growth for the industry, but the good news is that regional tourism is on the up and up, and very much front of mind for 2021.

In our bumper 2021 annual issue of Caravan & Camping with Kids, we showcase the very best of what Australia has to offer. From the ultimate Aussie road trips to secluded stays perfect for getting away from it all, the best places to chase the Southern Lights to the top places to pitch your tent if you want to go off-grid on an island, holiday parks offering the most immersive kids’ clubs for when mum and dad need a break to lesser-known national parks ripe for exploring and away from the crowds, remote 4WD tracks that will give you serious bragging rights at your next barbecue to an insider look into what it’s like to travel full time with teens in tow, we’ve got Aussie families covered.

The annual issue includes the winners of the recently rebranded Caravan & Camping with Kids Best Holiday Parks Awards (formerly the Readers’ Choice Top 10 Awards), listing the holidays parks in each state and territory in Australia that continue to be family favourites in 2020, as voted by our readers themselves between December 2019 and October 2020. If you missed out this year, voting for next year’s awards is now open, so head online to have your say.

 This issue also sees CamperMate – a free app where users can research and book holiday parks, rent campervans, and share tips with other passionate Australian travellers – coming on board as a sponsor of the awards, which includes sharing the results via a solus EDM, blog posts on their website and also within their app. CamperMate also provided a $1,000 holiday voucher to encourage readers to vote in the 2021 awards. 

“There has never been a better time to get outside, breath in the fresh air and explore Mother Nature. We are so blessed to call Australia home – our backyard is simply brimming with spectacular destinations to explore – and we hope to inspire families to start planning, booking and discovering once more, “ said Editor of Caravan & Camping with Kids, Natarsha Brown.

Cathy Wagstaff, CEO & Group Editor of Signature Media, added: “This has been a record breaking issue of the annual title, with revenue exceeding all other issues. This is not only a credit to our proactive sales team, but to the strength of this industry. This also shows the spirit of the Australian traveller to support domestic tourism and that the parks are open, operating and eager to host Aussie families as their previously planned international summer holidays have changed to the quintessential summer road trip.” 

The 2021 annual issue will be distributed to open and operating domestic Qantas airline lounges, family-friendly BIG4 Holiday Parks, NRMA Parks and Resorts, Reflections Holiday Parks, Ingenia Holiday Parks, Holiday Haven Tourist Parks, Tweed Holiday Parks, independent parks, childcare centres, Ronald McDonald Restaurants and Charity Houses, and sold at leading newsagents Australia wide and mailed to our loyal subscribers.
