The Labour Day long weekend is one of the best times to hire a caravan and escape the city for a well-earned break. With three days to explore, relax, and enjoy Victoria’s scenic spots, caravan hire offers the freedom and flexibility to travel your way. Based in Geelong, Ezycamper Hire provides fully equipped Jayco caravans ready for pickup before the public holiday rush.
Whether you’re heading to a beachside caravan park or planning a quiet country retreat, a hired caravan gives you the comfort of home wherever you stop. Here’s how to make the most of your long weekend getaway with a caravan rental.
Why the Labour Day weekend is perfect for a caravan getaway
The March long weekend marks the unofficial end of summer, and it’s one of the most popular times for caravan travel in Victoria. The weather is still warm, school is back in session, and parks are less crowded than peak holiday periods. That makes it ideal for families, couples, or solo travellers looking for a more relaxed experience.
Caravan hire allows you to bypass hotel bookings and crowded public transport. Simply pick up your van, tow it to your chosen site, and set up with ease. With no need to pack and unpack between locations, you’ll spend more of your time enjoying the weekend and less time organising logistics.
Geelong locals often use this weekend to visit nearby areas like the Otways, Surf Coast, or inland towns within a few hours’ drive. With Ezycamper Hire, you can collect your caravan a day or two early to beat the Friday afternoon traffic and enjoy a smooth start to your trip.
Making the most of your caravan hire this public holiday
Public holiday weekends are all about keeping things simple, and that’s where hiring a caravan really shines. All Ezycamper Hire vans come fully equipped with the essentials, including kitchen appliances, bedding options, and outdoor gear like awnings and chairs. That means you can focus on what matters—relaxing.
Planning ahead is key. Make sure to:
- Book your caravan early to secure availability for the Labour Day weekend.
- Choose a caravan park or free camping spot and reserve your site if needed.
- Plan a flexible route with nearby attractions, in case weather or crowds shift your plans.
- Pack lightweight food and clothing, and make use of the onboard fridge and kitchen to cut down on takeaways.
Travelling with a caravan also means you can stay longer if plans change or weather delays your return. Unlike fixed accommodation, caravans offer more flexibility—particularly valuable during busy public holiday periods when booking alternatives can be tricky.
Choosing the right caravan for a long weekend trip
For a short break like the Labour Day weekend, comfort and convenience are the priorities. Ezycamper Hire offers a range of Jayco caravans to suit different group sizes and travel styles. Whether you’re travelling as a couple or a family, there’s a van ready to go.
Smaller models like the Jayco Freedom are easy to tow and quick to set up, making them a great choice for first-time travellers or short stays. Families may prefer larger Jayco Journeys or Expandas with more sleeping space and separate living areas—perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.
All models include modern conveniences like air conditioning, cooking facilities, and storage, so you won’t miss out on comfort during your break. With pickup available from Geelong, you’re well placed to head in any direction—coastal or inland—without needing to travel far to start your journey.
