Guide
Jamieson Creek is a compact, 24-site unpowered campground in eucalyptus woodland near Separation Creek, above the Great Ocean Road. The draw is a relaxed coastal stay, with ocean views, a nearby beach and a lookout. Book with the current campground manager before arriving.
Each site takes up to six people. Sites 10–19 are tent-only and have no direct vehicle access; use their separate parking bay. Sites 4 and 7 are suitable for caravans. The manager lists the Jamieson Track approach from the Great Ocean Road as 2WD-accessible. Check current conditions and your reserved site if you are bringing a long or heavy vehicle.
Shared facilities include non-flush toilets, a picnic shelter, gas BBQ and communal fireplaces. Bring your own drinking water; rainwater on site is not confirmed as potable. Some pads are hard and rocky for tent pegs, and vehicles share the camping area. A short beach walk and the lookout give you an easy break from camp.
