free camping?

i bought this book as suggested by someone on this site - and i must say that i am a little disappointed in it.

The camp sites are more of a " rest stops" most by the side of busy roads ... not much more i can say on this book. if your looking for a spot to sleep for a few hours whilst on the road -- yes this book is good

if your looking for a nice weekend get away spot --- better of with boiling billy publications

Hi Ozboc

We bought the Boiling Billy publication for Tasmania, and found Camps 3 ever so much better. For WA and NT, the Jan Holland Priceless Camp Sites and Rest Areas series are marvellous - but not everything listed is permitted or suitable overnighters - hence the inclusion of rest areas in the titles. A pity she hasn't covered the other states. They are very comprehensive.

With Camps 3 (now Camps 4 is out), i found in areas where there was nothing suitable for overnight over a big distance, a poor rest area will be listed. Otherwise where there is plenty of good stuff, only bigger and better rest areas are listed. As said, we use it as a backup. We usually find somewhere nice and quiet, but if we don't, we don't have to panic - we just check out the next couple of listings from Camps.

For all over Australia, rather than a box of books, Camps is a good overall coverage.
