With Easter being earlier than usual this year, Camplify is sharing the best road trips for you to visit with the family this Easter, no matter which state! With the 4-day long weekend too short to go overseas, but long enough to lose your mind in the house, Camplify has shared the best routes accessible to keep the whole family entertained.
Cabarita Beach – New South Wales
Having been recently named the best beach in Australia, Cabarita Beach is a must-visit spot. With it only being a 30 minute drive North of Byron Bay, why not venture out of Byron and visit the infamous Cabarita Beach for a long weekend of sunshine, surf and beautiful scenery.
Why not check out Family Freedom, located in Byron Bay, you can set off to Cabarita and set up camp. Sleeping 5, the camper is available for your Easter weekend trip for only $100 per day. Book here.
Port Lincoln – South Australia
For those in South Australia, there is no better time to take the seven hour drive from Adelaide to Port Lincoln than a long weekend. Not only are the beaches great, but the food is great with amazing sand dunes to discover. You can also take the kids to swim with dolphins and sea lions at Baird Bay or visit the koalas at Mikkira Station.
Why not travel in style with Van Damme, located in West Beach, this luxe van has enough space to sleep three people for your road trip to Port Lincoln.

The Great Barrier Reef Drive – Queensland
Known for The Great Barrier Reef, this road trip is arguably the best in Australia. Starting in Cairns, you will be able to take the relatively short drive of 140km to The Great Barrier Reef, but the fun comes from truly taking your time with all of the wonderful stops and adventures along the way. You can check out the Kuranda Scenic Railway, the glass-bottom boats over the Great Barrier Reef or even kayaking the coastline. With so much to do along the way, you’ll spend the least amount of time driving.
From Cairns, you can jump into Ivy, the Luxury VW Motorhome and disembark on your adventure. Not only will the drive be adventurous, but driving a fully renovated Retro Kombi will make your trip unforgettable. Sleeping two, the Retro Kombi is available to rent this Easter for only $165 per day, book here.
The Grampians – Victoria
Only three hours out of the city, The Grampians are always a great option for a weekend road trip from Melbourne. Visiting this national park will open the opportunity to spend time relaxing in the Venus Baths, climbing the Pinnacle and exploring the countless waterfalls in the area.
