Prefer national park camping? This one is for you.

Often, the best way to experience the natural beauty of WA's national parks is by spending a night in one of their campgrounds.

We were certainly envious of this camp spot that we delivered and set up a van for, during these school holidays. The site can be found via Hipcamp - https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/land/western-australia-camp-qualinup-qeohpo5w?filters=rv-sites&adults=1&children=0

We have some exciting news. 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙣 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙣 𝙃𝙞𝙧𝙚 is now 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙚.

Can you imagine it? A solid income, work part-time (or more if you choose to), enjoying the outdoors and your customers are (99%) happy characters preparing for a holiday. If you or you know someone who has been looking for a new work or business challenge, we now invite interest from prospective purchasers. Please contact our agent, Louise D’Addario and 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙖𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩. See below for contact details.

Darryl and I are proud of what we have developed over the past 4 years and now feel the business brand and reputation, solid forward bookings, and fleet of high quality Franklin vans, presents a strong viable business.

Last but far from least, if you are one of our holidayers with a future hire booking (or planning one), please do not give your booking one thought of worry. It is very much business as usual until the right purchaser comes along. We are not in a rush to pass the baton over and still thoroughly enjoy offering our luxury caravans to those that love a van experience #𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 . The time just felt right for our family, to start ‘putting it out there’.

For more information, please contact Louise D'Addario - Wellington & Reeves on 0407 413 640 or [email protected]

Did you know you can camp at Rockcliffe?

We welcome self-contained travelers to come and stay for 1, 2 or 3 nights maximum. You can choose to book one of our newly levelled bays where you will be amongst the vines, or you can park your van or pitch your tent in the paddock opposite the cellar door during summer when it is dry. It is important you have your own toilet, as we do not offer facilities here.

The place is very quiet, being in a rural setting, but only 4km from Denmark town. If you are a cyclist this is an ideal place to stay. We have a mountain biking track that goes around the vines, paddocks and through the forests, all of which are part of the beautiful Rockcliffe property.

The camping areas are a very short walk to the cellar door where you can taste all of our delicious wines or treat the kids to Gelato and Fudge. We offer Cheese & Meat platters daily as well as Pizza's for lunch on Saturday and Sundays.

Bookings can only be made through Hipcamp - https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/land/western-australia-stunning-rockcliffe-vineyard-mxvhzvwv?shareid=x4i9mt5y2q

WHERE TO GET YOUR CARAVAN RIG WEIGHED.

With state authorities beginning to crack down on overweight caravans, horse floats, boats and other large trailers, it is important that you get your fully loaded caravan rig weighed.

Truck Friendly fully supports the mobile scales companies that offer a full weighing service by weighing each wheel individually and tow hitch on the caravan and tow vehicle.
They should also offer advice, and assistance in shifting weight if neded, to help ensure legal compliance, insurance is not voided, and for your safety and that of other road users.

A list of mobile scales companies throughout Australia is available via this link.

https://www.truckfriendly.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2023-National-List-of-Weigh-Stations.pdf

If you would like your company included in the list published monthly on this page in 2024, please contact Ken Wilson at Truck Friendly - [email protected] for further details.

GoWeigh have a network of fixed, self-serve weighbridges throughout Australia.

While they do not offer the individual service of the mobile companies, the weighbridges are usually located conveniently at BP roadhouses on major roads for a convenient weight check on the run. They are progressively upgrading all their weighbridge reports to show all relevant caravan and tow vehicle weights.

More information on the GoWeigh weighbridge locations is on their web site.
https://goweigh.com.au/

GoWeigh also offer 24 hour phone support if you have any questions while weighing.
Stay safe.

Did you know that there are six nature-based campgrounds located within City of Albany coastal reserves? Three of these camping areas are currently fee free with the exception of Cosy Corner, East, Torbay Inlet and Cape Riche. For more info, visit the City of Albany website below. There are obviously plenty more options that are non-reserve. Please remember to

The City of Albany Nature Based Camping Strategy & Action Plan (2018-2022) is a five year strategic plan designed to provide a framework for the management of nature based camping in City managed reserves and was adopted by Council in December 2018.
