If you are a camping fan and have not been to or spent the night at the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, then you need to consider including it in your next camping trip. Located an impressive two hours from Sydney, the Blue Mountains can be accessed via road or railway. If you opt to go by road, getting a camper trailer would not be a bad idea so you can be able to pack and carry as many items as possible.  If you are going on a long road trip or have a large party, a camper trailer will prove invaluable in making sure you can carry whatever you need when at the Blue Mountains while at the same time serving as your ‘house' in the wild.

So why are the Blue Mountains so popular? Well, let us just say a lot. Its scenic beauty, moderate climatic conditions, waterfalls, nature trails, rigid rocks and deep gorges, are bound to take the breath away from even the most battle-hardened camper. It is the essence of nature undefiled. The dense rainforests are home to various bird species, something that will leave bird watchers in awe. That is not all. The caves, ancient carvings, art sites and prehistoric rock engravings attest to the rich history of the area.

As far as the actual camping trip to the mountains goes, the first thing you need to make sure you have is a map and a compass. The Blue Mountains is a large area occupying about 1500 Square Kilometers. While this massive area allows for diversity in one's camping experience even if you camp there more than 5 times, it is important that you take the necessary precautions to make sure you do not get lost. So diverse is the area that there some camping grounds charge a small fee with others remaining free. Of course, free camping sites will sometimes not have as many ‘extra's as the one's that charge. Each camping ground has rules that you need to abide by throughout your stay there. It is important that you and every other person in your camping party familiarise themselves with the rules of the grounds you opt to use.

The Euroka-Glenbrook camping site is the most popular because of the ever-pleasant-to-watch Kangaroos. It is set on flat grassland surrounded by native bush land, with the exotic trees complete the almost perfect surrounding. Another interesting camping site is the Perry Lookdown, in Blackheath. Different camps may require early reservation so it is best that you contact them before you embark on your trip to prevent any unpleasant eventualities.

Nowhere else does the role of a camper trailer come out as clearly as a visit to Blue Mountains would demonstrate. You can opt for a small trailer or a large one as per your needs. With a trailer, you can go to the more far-flung campsites of the Blue Mountains without an iota of worry; this is because you will have virtually everything you need.
