BIG4 Holiday Parks announces
Australia’s BIGgest night of charitable
camping
Keep Friday 11 November free to
give camping a go and support a local community cause with BIG4 Holiday Parks. Join
thousands of happy campers for one night of charitable camping under the stars,
and pay just $20 to secure a site at participating BIG4 Holiday Parks, with all
proceeds going to local causes.
BIG4 Holiday Parks is proud to launch Camp
and Care with BIG4, a
charitable night of camping held at a wide range of Parks across Australia. The
event encourages families and friends to try camping for the first time and to explore
a new holiday destination close to home.
Ray Schleibs, CEO of BIG4 Holiday Parks, says Camp
and Care with BIG4 allows
families and friends to enjoy a quality weekend together, whilst also supporting
a local community cause.
“BIG4 Parks are integral members of their community and Camp and Care with BIG4 gives everyone the opportunity to
enjoy a night of camping at a flat fee of $20 per site, with the added bonus of
knowing the Park has donated this money to a local person, group or
organisation in need,” Schleibs says.
“For the past six years, BIG4 has run a free night of camping known as Come Camp with BIG4 to reintroduce
people to the best holiday park accommodation on offer in Australia. As the
event and our Parks continue to grow in popularity, we decided to use this
popularity to assist local charities and other community causes,” says Schleibs.
Many Parks will be hosting additional activities over the weekend to celebrate the
event such as pancake breakfasts and face painting, in-park concerts and BBQs
to name a few. The event will no doubt be a date marked in all Australians’
diaries, just as it has been for the last six years.
BIG4 Holiday Parks is well known for being located at key tourism destinations
across the country with a variety of different settings and Park experiences to
choose from. Whether the Park where you choose to camp is situated on a famous
coast or beach, set amongst lush bushland or close to a world-famous winery,
there are over 180 locations Australia-wide to choose from depending on your
holiday style – majority of which will be taking part in this great event. Each individual Park
offers a unique experience and showcases impressive facilities ranging from
resort style pools and adventure playgrounds, through to giant
jumping pillows and bike hire to keep the whole family entertained.

After the huge success of thousands of people participating in the experience of camping out for a night under the stars in 2010, The Great Aussie Camp Out (GACO) returns on Saturday 15 October 2011.
We surround ourselves today with so much clutter and technology that sometimes it is essential that we take a step back and connect with the simple things in life and what a better way for us all to do so than spend a night out camping.
In the last quarter of a century we have cushioned ourselves away from the natural environment, especially with our children. We are spending more time indoors in front of the television and computers and we are forgetting how to connect with our natural world.
So, camp in your backyard, on a river bank, at a campsite, Caravan Park, on a farm, in one of the hundreds of National Parks – in fact almost anywhere you feel like! No camp site is too big or small to spend the night camping out and just having fun with family, friends or just about anyone you can possibly think of. GACO will again bring thousands of Australians (and visitors) to share in the wonderful experience of camping. We may even break the Guinness Book of Records for the most people camped out for a night!
To join or organise a camp out with friends, family, clubs, community groups or work colleagues on Saturday 15 October 2011 in this free Australia-wide outdoor annual event, register at www.greataussiecampout.org.au Win prizes. Activities, games, recipes and much more! Have fun. Here we can also help you to plan your camp and with great tips, resources and ideas to keep you busy all night long.
