One of Australia’s favourite pastimes is sport, and for some this extends to travelling around the country to participate in amateur sports tournaments or to watch the professionals. Whilst travelling for sport is always a great experience, finding accommodation to fit the whole team, or at an affordable price in the middle of big sporting events can be a challenge.

Located in over 180 of Australia’s best tourist destinations, BIG4 Holiday Parks offers the perfect solution with properties close to many of Australia’s biggest amateur sports competitions and famous sporting events – from school sports teams to social leagues and professional athletes, BIG4 has accommodation to suit sports buffs nationwide.

Teams travelling to Bundaberg for the Australian Country Cricket Championships this summer can stay at BIG4 Cane Village Holiday Park where they can cool off in the pool after a long day on the oval; competitors in the 36th Australasian Fire Brigade Golf Championships, held in Ballarat this year, have the option to find a cosy cabin or powered caravan site at no less than three BIG4 Holiday Parks in the Victorian gold rush town; whilst those taking part in the Surf Lifesaving Rescue World Championships in Adelaide have the choice of staying at BIG4 Marion Holiday Park or BIG4 Adelaide Shores Caravan Park.

For those that prefer watching rather than playing, there are a range of BIG4 parks that put you close to the action of some of Australia’s greatest sporting events. Motorbike enthusiasts can rest their head at BIG4 Phillip Island Caravan Park which is just a short drive from the Moto GP track; V8 fans watching the Gold Coast 600 can choose from three immaculate BIG4 parks on the Gold Coast; and with two parks only nine kilometres from Melbourne city, Ashley Gardens BIG4 Holiday Village and Melbourne BIG4 Holiday Park provide a cost effective option when visiting the metropolitan city for the Australian Open Tennis or the AFL Grand Final.

BIG4’s General Manager – Marketing, Kari Hunter says one of the qualities that makes BIG4 Australia’s favourite holiday park provider is that its 180 parks are all located in some of Australia’s favourite tourist destinations, including being close to key sporting events.
