Let\u2019s face it \u2013 there\u2019s nothing better than Spring & Summer in Australia. The weather\u2019s warm and it\u2019s the perfect time to hit the tracks and the best campsites. But the best part if you ask us is a no-brainer \u2013 our sensational beaches!<\/p>\n
We\u2019re bloody lucky in Oz, there\u2019s no denying it. We have over 35,000km of pristine coastline, which includes over 10,000 beaches, and we reckon it\u2019s fair to say that the vast majority of them are crackers! From the epic scenery of Bruny Island in Tassie to the tip of the Dampier Peninsula in WA, we have a hugely varying coastline, and the best part is that we\u2019re able to experience more of it than anyone else!<\/p>\n
So here we have it \u2013 sit back and get planning because here are some of Oz\u2019s cracking East-Coast campsites you won\u2019t wanna miss!<\/p>\n

Pebbly Beach needs no introduction as we tend to talk about it a fair bit. There\u2019s a good reason for that \u2013 it is simply one of the best coastal campsites anywhere in Oz. Wake up on a pristine grassy campsite, and walk just metres down to the beach where you can take a swim or have a fish. Keen fishos should checkout the beach south of the river crossing \u2013 not only is it a cracker of a spot to land whiting, it\u2019s also perfect for catching beach worms.<\/p>\n

Mungo Brush Campsite is the perfect family getaway, thanks to being highly accessible. The downside to this is that the place can get extremely popular during peak times, so try to avoid heading there during school holidays if you don\u2019t like crowds. Once you\u2019re there, there\u2019s loads of activities from sailboarding to fishing, and the nearby Mungo Beach offers soft-sand driving for the keen 4WD. The 4WD mecca of Bulahdelah is nearby too, so pack the recovery gear.<\/p>\n
