Australia's best campsite features a private bath with sweeping views
Nothing really beats a camping holiday. And we have so many amazing spots for outdoor activities in our own backyard.
New data from All Trails shows more Aussies are swapping city breaks for nature escapes.
In fact, 45 per cent have travelled for a hike, and this number rises sharply among younger generations, where more than half (60 per cent) say they often include hiking in their travel plans.
The outdoor experts at AllTrails and Hipcamp have compiled Australia's best trails and campsites.
