Best camper trailers for family of 5 in Australia

Rod’s Engineering and Lifetime Trailers • Nov 14, 2022

Spending the long weekend or part of the school holidays camping is practically a national pastime in Australia. No matter where you’re located in Australia, Aus boasts some of the best camping in the world. For those families who spend a significant amount of time camping, or who don’t like to sleep in a tent, a camping trailer is a must-have addition to any trip out onto the bush or along the coast. Take a look here at the best camper trailers for a family of 5 in Australia.

What are camper trailers?

Camper trailers are a compact yet comfortable way for you to explore the outdoors and all that nature has to offer. They generally consist of a small and compact trailer that can be attached to any vehicle that has a tow bar. The camper trailer will often feature a tent that can open up or fold out from the trailer, offering up living quarters that are a good step up from your typical tent. They’re fantastic cost-effective options for anyone who doesn’t necessarily want to invest in a camper but still wants to have some creature comforts when they’re exploring Aus.

Longreach

The Longreach could be considered one of the best camper trailers for large family camping trips. With the ability to fit up to 6 people comfortably in it, the trailer is still considered lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. Offering a deluxe queen bed plus room to add another single bed or even bunks, there is room for the entire family in this camper trailer. With 25.4 square metres of space, the Longreach is perfect for extended camping trips.

Escape

If you and your family are big fans of off-roading, the Escape is the perfect camper trailer for you. Its off-roading capabilities featuring independent suspension, 12” brakes for safety and alloy wheels make this a strong and sturdy rig that will stand up to the adventures you put it through. Pair this with plenty of internal space, a heap of storage and even a customisable internal space and you have the perfect camper trailer for your entire family.

Jayco Eagle Outback

The Jayco range of pop up camper trailers is among the most popular among families in Australia. Not only is the Eagle Outback a more than generous size, but it boasts a large bed as well as a lounge next to the bed. Perfect for the whole family to get some shut-eye or to have a quiet conversation in, the Eagle Outback is a standout.

Patriot X1

The Patriot X1 is a camper trailer that is trusted by almost everyone who buys it. With a range of fantastic features such as hard-topped roofs and soft floor tents, the Patriot is available in a range of models and sizes to suit most families. Australian made, this camper trailer sets up in no time at all, offers plenty of storage options and even an excellent kitchen.
