Lake Macquarie will host its first Outdoor Living, Caravan & Boat Expo at Morisset Showgrounds from November 7–9, tapping into the booming adventure tourism market, which has seen a 21% rise in caravan and campervan registrations since 2019.

Australia’s appetite for immersive, nature-based escapes has surged in recent years and this brand-new expo promises to deliver an unforgettable experience. The three-day event is expected to attract over 14,000 adventure enthusiasts and become a key date on Australia’s outdoor tourism calendar.

With 110+ top brands on show, visitors can explore the latest in caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes, boats, 4WDs, and outdoor gear — all with exclusive expo-only deals.

The expo is expected to generate nearly 12,000 bed nights and inject close to $4 million in direct visitor spending, delivering a major boost to local businesses and tourism.

Organised by GTR Events, CEO Matt Hilton said the expo offered a fresh, high-impact experience. “We’re thrilled to launch this exciting new event in one of Australia’s most stunning regions, thanks to the support of Lake Macquarie City Council.”
