About camping trailer hire in Australia

Camping trailers (also called camper trailers) bring the comforts of a tent setup without the setup time. From soft-floor forward-fold campers (lightweight, easy to tow, sleep 2–4) through to hard-floor pop-tops and full off-road campers built to handle dirt roads, beach tracks, and remote camping — there's a camping trailer for every kind of trip.

Most camping trailers on TrailerConnect are mid-tier on-road or semi-off-road setups: a forward-fold soft-floor (sleeps 2–4, kitchen, awning) typically from $100–140/day, a hard-floor pop-top (faster setup, all-weather) in the $130–180/day range, and dedicated off-road campers with full off-grid setups (solar, water tank, batteries, suspension built for corrugations) sitting at $180–250/day.

Hiring a camper trailer is a great way to try one before buying — you'll quickly learn if you prefer soft-floor (cheaper, bigger living area) vs hard-floor (faster setup, better in wet weather), and whether you really need full off-road capability or an on-road setup is enough. Available across Australia, with many owners offering weekly rates for longer adventures.

Camping Trailer hire — FAQs

Common questions about hiring a camping trailer.

What size car can tow a camper trailer?▼
Light soft-floor campers (sub-1,000kg loaded) tow comfortably behind most mid-size SUVs and dual-cabs. Hard-floor pop-tops and off-road campers (1,200–1,800kg+ loaded) need a properly tow-rated 4WD or large dual-cab — usually 2,000kg+ braked tow capacity. Check the trailer's ATM in the listing before booking.
How much does camper trailer hire cost?▼
Forward-fold soft-floor campers typically rent for $100–140/day. Hard-floor pop-tops sit in the $130–180/day range. Off-road campers with full off-grid setups (solar, water, batteries) are usually $180–250/day. Most owners offer significantly discounted weekly and fortnightly rates for longer trips.
Soft-floor vs hard-floor camper — which should I hire?▼
Soft-floor campers are cheaper, lighter, and offer bigger living areas with multiple rooms — great for family camping and longer base-camp stays. Hard-floor pop-tops set up in 5 minutes (vs 30+ for soft-floor), handle wet weather better, and are perfect for shorter trips or move-every-day touring. If you're new to camper trailers, hard-floor is the easier learning curve.
Can I take a camper trailer off-road?▼
Only if it's specifically built for it — look for 'off-road' or 'semi-off-road' in the listing. On-road campers have road tyres, lighter suspension, and aren't insured for dirt roads. Off-road campers have heavy-duty suspension, off-road tyres, and stone guards. If you plan to leave the bitumen, message the owner before booking to confirm.
Are linen, kitchen gear, and bedding included?▼
Varies widely by listing. Some owners include a fully equipped kitchen (gas stove, plates, cutlery, pots), bedding, and even fridges. Others provide just the camper itself. Always check the listing description and ask the owner what's included before booking — it makes a big difference to your packing list.
