Elliot Ridge Hike-in Campground

Elliot Ridge Hike-in Campground is a bookable, unpowered tent camp on the Great Ocean Walk, set in dense eucalypt forest near the ridge top. Keep it in your overnight plan if you’re walking the route; it’s a practical stop, not a sea-view detour. Reserve it as part of your walk and carry your food and camping kit in.

There’s a simple shared shelter and a composting toilet. A rainwater tank serves the camp, but its water is untreated and can run low, so bring a filter or tablets and a backup supply for the walk in. No food service is listed for the campground, so pack your meals.

Tall eucalypts and ferns surround the ridge-top camp. Its appeal is a sheltered night on the trail rather than a big ocean outlook. Some visitors find the approach steep; check your route plan and download it for offline use. Koalas have been spotted in the trees here, but count that as a lucky bonus, not a guarantee.
