When you’ve got multiple kids, a love for the outdoors, and a whole country to explore, finding the best caravan for a family of 5 in Australia becomes a total game-changer.
It’s not just about having enough room for everyone to sleep; it’s about finding a setup that can handle everything from outback tracks to beachside breaks, with enough storage space, comfort and off-grid muscle to keep the whole crew happy.
In today’s guide, we’ll show you exactly what to look for. We’ll also highlight the customisable layouts and award-winning models from Wonderland RV that make family caravanning easier and a whole lot more fun.
Caravanning has become an increasingly popular way for Australian families to holiday—and for good reason!
In a country blessed with world-class coastlines, expansive outback landscapes, stunning national parks and charming regional towns, owning a caravan gives families access to an entirely new level of freedom and connection.
Here’s why caravanning continues to win over Aussie families:
So, you’re ready to hit the road—but what should you look for in a caravan built for five? Travelling as a family means more than just fitting everyone in. It’s about choosing a van that feels like a home—one that delivers comfort, space and peace of mind, no matter where your journey takes you.
Let’s take a look at what matters the most when finding the best caravan for your family:
Forget squeezing into repurposed lounges or setting up camp beds every night. Wonderland RV family vans are designed with real families in mind.
Choose from layouts that include triple bunks for the little ones, a private master bedroom for the grown-ups, and versatile lounge areas that can convert into extra sleeping space, without sacrificing your living room. Everyone gets their own dedicated spot to unwind, stretch out, and truly relax.
From scooters and surfboards to gadgets and snacks, families don’t pack light. And that’s exactly why smart storage matters.
Our vans are loaded with clever storage features. Under-bed compartments for bulky items, full-length wardrobes for everyone’s clothes, overhead cabinetry, and hidden nooks for toys, shoes and gear—so there’s room for everything without the clutter!
Convenience is key when travelling with kids. All Wonderland family vans come with a full ensuite and a fully equipped kitchen. So you can whip up dinner just like you would at home, handle midnight bathroom visits without trekking across a campsite, and enjoy off-grid living with total convenience.
From prepping a proper brekkie to washing up after dinner, every feature is designed to make life on the road feel effortless.
Tough Aussie conditions demand a van that can keep up. Every Wonderland RV is engineered for rugged reliability, featuring:
Whether you’re cruising along open highways, tackling winding backroads, or venturing into the bush, you’ll have the stability and control to tow with confidence.
Whether you’re planning weekend getaways or a year-long lap of the map, choosing the right van comes down to how your family travels. At Wonderland RV, we offer customisable layouts across three size categories, with each designed with flexibility, comfort and adventure in mind.
Here’s how to find your perfect fit:
Great for: Tight spots, lighter tow vehicles, short trips
Layout highlight: Three bunks on the roadside, ensuite on the doorside
Compact doesn’t mean cramped. The Wonderland Hornet proves you can have a lightweight, off-road capable van that’s still packed with family-friendly features.
It’s ideal for shorter trips or families with smaller tow vehicles, offering a cleverly configured space that includes triple bunks, a private master bed, and a fully equipped kitchen and ensuite.
So, if you’re a family of five looking for a van that can get you off the beaten path without compromising on comfort, the Hornet delivers in spades.
Great for: Growing families, flexible travel, mid-range vehicles
Layout options include:
This size range offers the best of both worlds—room to grow, plus the flexibility to tailor your layout to how your family likes to travel.
One of our most popular mid-size models for families is the Wonderland Amaroo. With its robust build and family-friendly design, it’s packed with features like a full gourmet kitchen, ample storage, and custom sleeping arrangements that give everyone their own zone. The Amaroo is a favourite for families wanting more space without going full-scale.
Great for: Full-time family travel, long adventures, luxury seekers
Layout options include:
For families ready to embrace long-haul living or travel in premium style, our spacious family vans offer exceptional comfort. These layouts provide distinct parent and child zones, ample internal storage, and even desks or café-style dinettes for remote learning or work.
If you’re looking for the pinnacle of luxury and innovation, look no further than the Wonderland XTR 2211—a true standout in our range. This model took 1st place as Best Overall Caravan of the Year 2024, and was also awarded Best Family Caravan and Best Innovation.
Choosing the right caravan isn’t just about features. It’s about choosing how you want to live, explore and connect as a family.
Whether you’re chasing remote landscapes, planning weekend escapes, or making the great Aussie lap a reality, Wonderland RV gives you the tools to do it on your terms.
