In 1985 a group of like-minded independent camping store owners joined together and formed a buying group. From 1988 the group traded under the banner, Leisure Action; the outcome was a competitive advantage over fellow independent stores and improved margins.

As the group grew the Camping World brand was launched and progressed to providing marketing, buying and member support through an enthusiastic team of staff. Camping World is now the largest independent camping retailer in Australia.

At Camping World we pride ourselves on being your “outdoor specialist”. Our stores are locally owned with a strong focus on serving the needs of their local community.
