1). Wikicamps Australia
Wikicamps Australia is an app that can help you locate important destinations such as roadside rest areas, suitable campsites, and even caravan parks. The app even helps you identify if these destinations have wifi or not!
All the content on the app is user-generated, which includes a forum that brings together a community of campers that have experienced similar situations as you. Though the content may not be 100% accurate, the app is still known to be relatively effective and helpful for all your destination searching needs.

3). Willy Weather
Anticipating the weather is an important part of every camping trip. With this app, you’re not only able to check on what the weather will be like, including other details such as temperature, UV rays, moon cycles, sunrise or sunset times, tide schedules, and even wind strength.
This is especially helpful for campers that are trying to avoid the harsh heat especially in the summer months, or for photographers that are looking to capture the perfect nature picture.
Willy Weather is available on both the Apple and Google stores.

This app is only available on the Google store.
5). AllTrails
Of course, every nature spot in Australia has a walking trail! With AllTrails, you can find over 60,000 walking and even biking trails not only in Australia but around the world.
