Australia is built for the open road — and RV Friendlies is how we celebrate the towns and places that welcome you with open arms.
The RV Friendly Town™ program recognises councils that go the extra mile for RV travellers, with easy access, safe parking and welcoming facilities. RV Friendly Destinations™ do the same for specific sites within a community — perfect for towns still building their offering.
We also share events happening in these towns, so members can plan their next trip around a local market, festival or rally, not just a place to park.
Together, these programs connect our 60,000+ members with places that genuinely want them there. Because when a town says "RV Friendly," you know you're welcome.

One may ponder, what does Kernewek Lowender mean or what does it represent?
Kernewek Lowender means “Cornish Happiness”.
Cornish Happiness is what the Cornish migrants discovered when they migrated to the towns of Moonta, Kadina & Wallaroo.
Why do we hold a festival biennially to celebrate this one may ask?
We celebrate the traditions, culture, and heritage of our Cornish ancestors.
The Kernewek Lowender Copper Coast Cornish Festival is a beloved staple on the events calendar of both Yorke Peninsula and South Australia.
The festival week sees tens of thousands of people gather to celebrate Cornish heritage and traditions, while enjoying the best of the region’s food and beverage, culture, and of course, welcoming hospitality.
A hyperactive inner-city night market explodes around Franklin Square: bring your tastebuds and your dancing shoes for a Friday night fling. Nothing but Tasmanian street food and craft drinks.
4.30pm - 9.00pm | December – April every year!

The small city of Burnie is located on the north-west coast of Tasmania and was settled in 1827. The port has always been at the heart of Burnie, connecting the region’s harvested natural resources and manufactured products (like pulp and paper) to the rest of the world. However, its industrial past came at an environmental cost, and since the early 1990s, Burnie has been in the process of transforming from this industrial past to a cleaner and more creative future, as the City of Makers. Places to visit are the Hellyer’s Road Distillery, where a uniquely Tasmanian single malt whiskey is made along with a range of blends and vodkas. Visitors can experience tours and tastings.Cooee Point is the perfect place to park up for a few days while you explore Burnie. Cooee Point has access to a dump point, potable water, and you can obtain your parking permit online from www.discoverburnie.net or by calling 03 6430 5700 and rest for up to two days.Leisure opportunities abound, with excellent beaches, parks and gardens in and around the city. And if you are planning to visit in the summer months expect long days with sunlight lasting up to 16 hours a day. Little penguins populate the rocky points at the end of West Beach and a stroll in Fernglade may reward you with an occasional glimpse of a platypus.Tourist/Visitor Centre For tourist enquiries please contact:Burnie Council 03 6430 5700Penquin VIC and Wynyard VIC also have very good informationCasual Parking Mount St, Upper BurnieShort Term Parking Cooee Point Rd, 2 day permit with maximum of 2 permits per year.
