As I understand it, caravan sites in the Camp books, the latest of course is 7, only have sites that are free or up to $22 a night - well that was the price for paid sites in Camp 6. I found this out by not being able to find sites like the Big 4 at Cannonvale / Airlie Beach.
What's the best book available with the rest of the sites in it, if there is one of course?
Yep - that's what we do - use both to find a spot - Camps 8 will be out in February/March 2015 - they have been out and about taking photos for the new issue, met up with them in - well, somewhere on our travels a while ago!

Camps 3 was $18, it has been $22 since Camps 5. In addition if you look at the page "About This Guide" you will see the last sentence of "Site Costs" reads:
"Some Caravan Parks and Station Stays are more expensive but have been included because of their position."
Caravan Parks Australia Wide is the only book I know of that attempts to list all tourist parks without favour and paying a free.
For those without a pad that will load Wickicamps there is Gary Stratton's MyParkList.com You will get much more up to date info on this site than in books. This site has a few ways of getting park lists so it may appear complicated at first. My preferred access is to click on the Caravan Parks tab and then on Caravan Park Maps by Town. You get a page with drop down tabs where you can select state and town (all towns are there whether they have parks or not.) When you click for maps you get a pop-up Google Map centred on your town. The map has pins for all the parks around (up to a hundred or so kilometres.) Clicking on the pins produces another pop-up with links to further information. Give it a go if you already have not (and don't forget to report discrepancies to Gary so we can have the most up-to-date info.) The site also links to Badger's Australian Caravan Reports, don't forget to submit reports and updates to that as well.
