Frankie J Holden and Michelle Pettigrove are not only husband and wife; they are also television stars, business owners and longterm fans of caravan and camping holidays.
Frankie, who many may recognise from his acting and presenting work (including his Logie-winning performance on A Place To Call Home), grew up in the Northern Territory. Throughout his childhood, every Christmas his family would take a four-week camping trip doing what he calls ‘rough and remote camping’ in the wet season!
Michelle grew up caravan and camping on the far south coast of New South Wales, taking trips to the area every year since before she was even born!
Now, Frankie and Michelle are the owners of Tathra Beachside Holiday Park in NSW. In the latest episode of our camping with the stars series, the couple share some of their stories and favourite things about caravan and camping.

We had the privilege of staying at their park earlier this year and really enjoyed and would recommend a stay Their. All staff were friendly and cOurteos and the entertainment by some old rocker called frankie and his band was well woRth the trip,a special appearance by michele was also great to see. Not to mention the location close to bega and the lovely town of tathra itself for the photographers.
