Guide
Lorne Foreshore Caravan Park is an umbrella for five holiday grounds around Lorne, with cabins, glamping and camping in beachside and riverside settings. It is a handy base if you want to walk to central Lorne, shops, cafes and the beach. Check your booking before navigating: Ocean Road, Kia Ora, Queens Park, Top Bank and Erskine have separate maps and access points. The map pin marks the Ocean Road ground, not a universal check-in.
The BBQs make self-catering easy, and central Lorne is close for groceries, cafes and meals out. Choose this as a town-and-coast base if the convenience matters more than having one compact campground with identical facilities at every site.
