Have your say

THE best performers in the NSW caravan and camping industry were recognised at the peak industry body's awards event.

They were honoured at the Caravan & Camping Industry Association Awards of Excellence at Sydney's Luna Park after being named 'best in field' for their respective categories.

"This year we had an unprecedented number of nominations, making an outstanding list of businesses across NSW which are striving to deliver excellence in quality and service in our sector," association president Theo Whitmont said.

"Our awards look closely at the customer experience, so these winners have really excelled in their service delivery."

Mr Whitmont described the caravan and camping industry as "vibrant and innovative", always looking for ways to improve and excel with new products, improved facilities, better service and more.

"Our industry caters to so many individual needs," he said.

"From families looking for a fantastic resort style holiday, travellers embarking on a road trip adventure, couples seeking a romantic glamping retreat or campers who want to get back to basics ‒ our members are providing services from one end of the spectrum to the other.

"These awards are an important way for us to recognise the outstanding achievement of the fantastic businesses that help to make this such a successful growing part of the Australian holiday experience."

Mr Whitmont congratulated all finalists and award winners, including the two Best of the Best winners ‒ BIG4 Great Lakes at Forster-Tuncurry (Holiday, Tourist & Resort Parks) and Horizon Motorhomes (Products & Services).

Horizon Motorhomes also joined CCIA's Hall of Fame this year, reflecting three years of consecutive achievement in the industry awards.
