Campground · Great Otway National Park
A booked walk-in camp with a coast view from its toilet window.
Overview
Visitors single out the ocean view through the toilet window and near tent site 8. The exposed position can catch strong coastal wind. If you approach by the Wreck Beach section, expect a steep climb up to camp and check tide times before taking the beach route.

The highest, rockiest slopes around here are a summer buffet for grizzly bears.

Guide
This tent-only, unpowered hike-in campground is a final overnight stop before walkers continue toward the Twelve Apostles. It is not a drive-in campground: reserve before arriving, and each site is limited to three guests.
Shared facilities include a simple three-sided shelter, a toilet and rainwater tanks. The tank water is untreated and can run low, so carry water you can rely on and a way to treat tank water.
