Letter from the Editor’s desk

Welcome to our annual caravan and camping edition of Holidays with Kids. If you like spending your days in the great outdoors and your nights camped under the stars then this is the magazine for you. From first-timers to seasoned camping families, we have you covered with fishing tips, 4WD advice, overnight hikes, the latest camping gear, competitions and, of course, information on the best places to pitch your tents around Australia.

Be sure to check out our Top 10 Holiday Park Awards. These are voted by you, our readers, and as such are based solely on your best camping experiences at holiday parks over the past 12 months. We leave the ball 100 per cent in your court, so each nominated property may be chock full of fun features and activities, or they may be a simple campground in a stunning location. Whichever way you like to camp – tent, camper trailer, caravan or cabin – there is sure to be somewhere on this list that will inspire you to start planning your next trip.

If you want to get involved in the voting process for next year, just hop onto our website www.holidayswithkids.com.au and fill in a Readers’ Survey on one of our competition pages. This unlocks the chance to win fantastic prizes such as the Coleman camping pack (see page 21), holiday accommodation prizes and heaps more. While on the website, don’t forget to keep up to date with all the latest family camping and holiday news by subscribing to our free monthly e-newsletter, or share your own camping experiences on our Facebook camping page – Holidays with Kids Caravan, Camping & 4WDriving.

Enjoy all that’s on offer in our latest issue, and remember to stay safe on the roads this holiday season.
