Caravan and camping visitors are Australian residents who have used overnight caravan and camping accommodation facilities at either commercial sites (caravan parks, camping grounds or cabins) or non-commercial sites (motor home or campervan; or camping by the side of the road, private property, crown land or a national park).
Visitors do not necessarily spend all of their trip nights in caravan and camping accommodation on their trip.
The domestic caravan and camping travel to NSW factsheet provides a snapshot for the year ending March 2021, as well as visitation trend.
It shows the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on this segment based on comparison between pre-COVID-19 (YE March 2020) and COVID (YE March 2021) period.
NSW is the most popular caravan and camping destination in Australia. The share of domestic caravan and camping visitors to all domestic overnight visitors to NSW increased in the YE March 2021 as compared to the year prior (15 per cent and 12 per cent, respectively).
Due to the travel bans and border closures from late March 2020, caravan and camping visitors in NSW declined by 20 per cent in YE March 2021 as compared to YE March 2020. As cases declined and restrictions eased, the segment showed signs of recovery since the September Quarter 2020.
