RV Friendlies & Events



Australia is built for the open road — and RV Friendlies is how we celebrate the towns and places that welcome you with open arms.


The RV Friendly Town™ program recognises councils that go the extra mile for RV travellers, with easy access, safe parking and welcoming facilities. RV Friendly Destinations™ do the same for specific sites within a community — perfect for towns still building their offering.


We also share events happening in these towns, so members can plan their next trip around a local market, festival or rally, not just a place to park.


Together, these programs connect our 60,000+ members with places that genuinely want them there. Because when a town says "RV Friendly," you know you're welcome.
