Australia is home to some of the most stunning landscapes in the world, making it the ideal place for teardrop trailer adventures. From coastal drives to outback deserts, here are ten destinations every teardrop owner should experience.
1. Great Ocean Road, Victoria
Highlights: Twelve Apostles, ocean panoramas, charming seaside towns
This iconic 243km coastal route is arguably Australia's greatest road trip. Multiple campgrounds along the route welcome teardrop trailers, with the compact size being a real advantage on the narrow, winding sections. The Breath Essential's light weight makes towing along the steep coastal roads effortless.
2. The Grampians National Park, Victoria
Highlights: Rugged mountains, lookouts, Aboriginal rock art
The Grampians provides dramatic mountain terrain with elevated observation points offering views across western Victoria. Established camping areas with facilities make it ideal for teardrop camping — arrive, set up in 5 minutes, and spend your time hiking instead.
3. Byron Bay, New South Wales
Highlights: Beaches, surf culture, hinterland rainforest
Byron Bay's famous beaches and relaxed atmosphere make it a classic Australian camping destination. Several caravan parks and campgrounds welcome teardrop trailers, and the compact size means easier parking in this notoriously busy town.
4. Blue Mountains, New South Wales
Highlights: Three Sisters, waterfalls, bush walks
Just 90 minutes from Sydney, the Blue Mountains display dramatic geology and cascading waterfalls. Euroka Campground puts you among wild kangaroos in a stunning bush setting. Read more in our Sydney camping guide.
5. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Northern Territory
Highlights: Uluru, Kata Tjuta, desert landscapes, stargazing
The spiritual heart of Australia. Ayers Rock Campground provides powered and unpowered sites, but if you have an off-grid setup like the Breath Ultra with solar and battery, you'll enjoy independence from hookups under some of Australia's clearest skies.
6. Freycinet National Park, Tasmania
Highlights: Wineglass Bay, pristine beaches, coastal walks
Tasmania's jewel showcases untouched shores and crystalline waters. The renowned Wineglass Bay walk is unmissable. Compact teardrop trailers have a distinct advantage on Tasmania's narrower roads and smaller campground sites.
7. Fraser Island, Queensland
Highlights: Sand island, freshwater lakes, 4WD beaches
The world's largest sand island offers unique camping experiences — beach camping, subtropical forests, and freshwater lakes. Note: you'll need a 4WD-capable vehicle and a trailer suited for sand driving.
8. Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory
Highlights: Wetlands, waterfalls, Indigenous rock art, wildlife
UNESCO World Heritage listed, Kakadu is vast and spectacular. Multiple campgrounds are accessible with teardrop trailers. Visit in the dry season (May-October) for the best conditions and access to more areas.
9. Margaret River, Western Australia
Highlights: Wineries, surf beaches, caves, forests
Margaret River blends world-class wine with stunning coastal scenery. Camp among the karri forests, surf at legendary breaks, and enjoy restaurant-quality food — all within reach of your teardrop base camp.
10. Flinders Ranges, South Australia
Highlights: Wilpena Pound, ancient geology, outback landscapes
Dramatic terrain and 800-million-year-old geology make the Flinders Ranges a photographer's paradise. Rawnsley Park Station offers excellent facilities for teardrop camping with views of Wilpena Pound.
