The ACA has a Member Camp or Activity Provider to Suit your Needs!

The Australian Camps Association (ACA) has hundreds of member sites located throughout Australia, so we are sure to have the ideal location to meet your group’s needs.

Don’t forget that apart from representing the best camps in the country, the ACA is also proud to represent some of Australia’s most experienced outdoor activity providers in our membership. If you are looking for someone who can help your group take part in outdoor activities such as canoeing, climbing, cycling or bushwalking, there is an ACA member who is ready to help.

ACA member camps regularly host faith based groups, sporting clubs, family reunions, birthdays and weddings, special interest groups and clubs, older adults, people with disabilities, corporate groups and, increasingly, groups from overseas – as well as primary and secondary school students of course.

The venues themselves are becoming ever more comfortable in response to modern expectations and the needs of diverse groups. Perhaps your group is made up of older folk possibly with mobility issues, perhaps your group includes people with disabilities, maybe your group is from a non-English speaking background or maybe you’d like to try ‘glamping’ – no matter, Australian Camps Association members can look after you.

It is often said that camps are all much the same in that they all have beds, catering and usually activities onsite. ACA members believe that while this is generally true, the thing that always brings groups back is always good old fashioned service. ACA member camps very often enjoy long-term relationships with groups that come to view the camp as ‘their own’ because they know that the camp staff understand their needs and because they can be assured of a warm welcome whenever they visit.

So don’t settle for average when selecting a camp or activity provider – use the ACA’s free booking enquiry service on our homepage www.auscamps.asn.au to request an information pack from all the member camps or activity providers that meet your criteria.
