For Sunset Enthusiasts:

3. Mount Wellington, TAS

Sarah H recommends watching the sunrise or sunset here for a magical start (or end) to your day.

For the Beach Dreamers:

1. Ellis Beach, FNQ

Daniel A recommends this idyllic spot for a romantic beachside experience.

2. Bramston Beach, QLD

Passion P highlights this as a great bush camping spot right by the beach—a hidden gem for couples.

3. Golden Hour by the Sea

Few things rival the romance of a sunset on the beach, according to Dodge N—the sky painted in shades of pink and gold, the waves gently lapping at the shore. Linda H adds, “On the beach at sunrise, a new day on the start of your lives together.” Simple, breathtaking, and unforgettable.

For the Adventurous:

1. Big Red, Simpson Desert, QLD

Sheryl-LB’s recommendation is for the adventurous couples ready to conquer the sand dunes together.

2. Top of a Mountain

Whether it’s Bathurst or somewhere else, John E and Petena T suggest anywhere with a mountain top, breathtaking views and unforgettable moments. Sonia R also recommends a scenic mountain lookout picnic as a cooler, more relaxing alternative to hot and sandy locations.

3. Anywhere with a Waterfall

Ursula’s Ultimate Adventures sums it up perfectly—a waterfall and a sunset make for the ultimate romantic backdrop. Lauren B recommends Carrington Falls for its breathtaking scenery and easy access, making it an ideal romantic retreat. Whether it’s a hidden gem in the rainforest or a well-known cascade like Carrington Falls, waterfalls provide a naturally romantic setting for couples to enjoy.

Honorable Mentions (and a Few Laughs):

1. The MCG, as suggested by Drew W—because nothing says romance like a sports stadium (kidding, we think!).

2. Next to an ATM, according to Noel B, “because it’s going to cost you.”

3. Your backyard, for the ultimate in privacy and convenience, as Bert P smartly pointed out.

4. Anywhere— rightly suggested by Amanda W, Naomi P and Glen S, because once you’re together, that’s all that matters.

No matter where you choose to camp, the key to a romantic escape is finding a spot that’s special to both of you. Whether it’s a secluded beach, a mountain top at sunrise, or even a backyard adventure, these places are sure to create memories that last a lifetime. Just don’t forget the essentials—snacks, a cosy setup, and maybe a backup plan if the weather turns!

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Let’s Go Caravan and Camping team!
