There is a travel trend taking off in South East Queensland that completely flips the script on the traditional road trip. It isn't about driving hundreds of kilometers a day or struggling to reverse a massive trailer into a tight campsite.
It’s called the "Static Road Trip."
For those wanting to escape the city grind and explore the stunning country regions west of Brisbane—from the heritage charm of Ipswich to the rolling hills of the Scenic Rim—this is the smartest way to holiday.
The Problem with Traditional Caravanning
We all love the idea of "Van Life"—waking up to birdsong and breathing fresh country air. But the reality? It often involves buying an expensive 4WD, installing a tow bar, and stressing about fuel costs and weight limits. For many, the hassle outweighs the relaxation.
The Solution: We Deliver the Holiday to You
Caravan Hire Ipswich specializes in removing the "road" from the road trip. We provide long-term, static caravan hire that is delivered straight to your chosen site.
Here is how you can use a static van to create the ultimate country escape:
1. Create Your Own "Bush Retreat"
Accommodations in the Scenic Rim and Ipswich hinterland can be pricey—often charging hundreds of dollars a night for a "glamping" experience.
If you have access to a private block of land (perhaps owned by family or friends) in the region, we can turn that empty paddock into a luxury retreat. We deliver a fully equipped caravan, level it, and set it up. You instantly have a private holiday home for a fraction of the cost of a rental cottage.
2. The Ultimate "Base Camp" for Adventure
Ipswich is the perfect gateway to outdoor adventure. By setting up a static caravan as your base, you are perfectly positioned to explore:
The Dams: Spend your weekends kayaking or fishing at Wivenhoe or Somerset Dam.
The Mountains: Hike the peaks of the Scenic Rim without a long drive home afterwards.
The History: Explore Ipswich’s heritage trails and antique centres at your own pace.
Best of all: You do these day trips in your normal car, unencumbered by a heavy trailer.
3. All-Weather Comfort (Essential for the West)
Western Queensland weather can be extreme. A tent won’t cut it in a heatwave or a summer storm.
Our caravans are designed for the local climate. With air-conditioning as standard on most long-term hires, you have a cool sanctuary to return to after a day of hiking or exploring. Plus, with electric fridges and proper cooking facilities, you aren't living off camp food—you're dining in comfort.
4. Flexible Long-Term Freedom
Why rush your holiday? Our hires focus on two weeks or longer, giving you the time to properly disconnect. Whether you are taking long service leave, writing a book, or just need a month of silence, a static van gives you the freedom to stay longer for less.
