Easter holidays are approaching and the long weekend (25th to the 28th of March) is a popular time for Australians to hit the road to explore the country. We’ve put together the top caravan parks that still have availabilities over the long weekend, that offer a unique No Tow service, pioneered by Australia’s largest peer-to-peer caravan rental website, MyCaravan.
MyCaravan’s No Tow feature allows renters to have caravans delivered to their chosen site, so they can enjoy a caravanning holiday without the towing. They simply choose a caravan or camper trailer located near their holiday location, then drive to the destination. The caravan owner delivers and sets up the caravan for the renter.
According to Tourism Research Australia, caravanning and camping accounts for $7 billion of expenditure annually. However, caravans are typically only used for a few weeks a year, sitting vacant for most of the year. MyCaravan provides a perfect way to earn money from these valuable under-utilised assets, at rates that are up to 50 percent cheaper than commercial operators.
