The Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia (CMCA) has stamped the approval – but it’s no rubber stamp, it has to be earned.

To qualify, towns must successfully deliver:

Access to a general shopping area.
Provision of appropriate low-cost overnight parking for self-contained vehicles.
Access to potable water and a free dump point.

With these amenities in place, RV tourists can access any RV Friendly Town with the knowledge they will be welcomed and well looked after.

The decision is expected to have a tangible financial impact on the local economy with the self-contained RV tourism sector estimated to be worth more than $2.5 billion annually.

And Echuca is now well-positioned to access this lucrative tourism market.

CMCA will promote Echuca to RV travellers across Australia through the CMCA club magazine The Wanderer, and its website and social media.
