Guide
Port Campbell Recreation Reserve is a bush-setting campground in Port Campbell, with powered and unpowered sites for tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes. It is a practical base for the Shipwreck Coast: Port Campbell National Park is about 11 km away, with the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and Gibson Steps among the nearby stops. Bookings are essential.
Some pitches are unsealed and uneven, and wet weather can leave muddy ground. Reports on shower cleanliness and pressure vary, so check current details with the operator. Published information did not settle potable-water availability or individual fire rules; confirm both before relying on them.
