Camp activities make shy sons become active, brave, the atmosphere, self-care ability improved significantly. Camping is a link in Australian education and a way of life for locals who often camp on their family on weekends. Australians have a great deal of experience with safe camping.

Before camping, you need to search for the appropriate campsite along the trip. Some Australian campgrounds are free and some charge. Mainly divided into two categories, one is camping with tents, the other is RV camp. RV camp is divided into power and no power.

Before setting up a tent, check if there is a sign of camping allowed around. In order to protect the natural environment and its own safety, some Australian camping websites usually advise campers to set up tents in designated campsites or camping areas, and these sites have usually taken into account natural disasters such as flood defenses.

Many local governments or camping sites have basic knowledge of camping safety, such as how to build tents during thunderstorms, with particular emphasis on camping to bring a radio, keep abreast of the local weather conditions, just in case. Australian seaside or riverbanks often have swimming-zone markings, and as long as they are honestly swimming within the designated area, there is a much lower risk of danger.
