The expo will see more than 160 exhibitors on-site to showcase the latest in outdoor adventuring products and destinations.
“Caravanning and camping is a booming industry that contributes significantly to the local tourism economy,” a spokesperson for the event host, the Caravan Camping Industry Association NSW, said.
“Visitors spent a total of 1.2 million caravanning and camping nights in the Hunter last year, a 12 per cent increase on the previous year.”
The expo will feature everything from the latest caravans, motorhomes, campervans, camper trailers, slide-ons, tents, camping equipment and 4WD accessories to holiday parks and popular tourism destinations.
There will be free activities for children, including a live reptile display, and jumping castle.
Entry costs $15 for adults and $10 for concession. Children will be admitted free.
