What to see and do on the Great Ocean Road

An RV gives you a front-row seat to one of the most spectacular coastlines on Earth. Here are a few must-see spots for your road trip itinerary.

The 12 Apostles & Gibson Steps

The 12 Apostles & Gibson Steps

Marvel at the magnificent limestone stacks that are the star attraction of the drive. For an unforgettable experience, visit at sunrise or sunset to see them in the best light and without the daytime crowds. If the tide is right, descend the Gibson Steps to the beach and truly appreciate their massive scale from sea level.

Loch Ard Gorge

Loch Ard Gorge

Just a three-minute drive from the 12 Apostles, this is a stop you can't miss. Discover the dramatic story of the Loch Ard shipwreck and explore the stunning gorge, beach, and surrounding walking trails that offer breathtaking views of the rugged coastline.

Great Otway National Park

Great Otway National Park

Take a detour from the coast into a magical world of ancient rainforests, giant ferns, and cascading waterfalls. Enjoy the easy loop of the Maits Rest Rainforest Walk, visit iconic waterfalls like Erskine Falls or Triplet Falls, or see the forest from above at the Otway Fly Treetop Walk.

Coastal Towns & Lighthouses

Coastal Towns & Lighthouses

Soak up the vibrant surf culture in Torquay, the official start of the Great Ocean Road. Enjoy the bustling cafe scene in Lorne, or use the beautiful town of Apollo Bay as a gateway to the Otways. Don't miss a visit to the historic Split Point Lighthouse at Aireys Inlet for panoramic coastal views.

Wildlife Spotting

Wildlife Spotting

The Great Ocean Road is a haven for Australian wildlife. Look for koalas in the manna gum trees along the Kennett River Koala Walk, and spot kangaroos grazing in the fields around the Anglesea Golf Club, especially at dawn or dusk.

Gourmet Food & Local Produce

Gourmet Food & Local Produce

The region is a foodie's paradise. With your RV's kitchen ready to go, stock up on local cheeses from the Apostle Whey Cheese dairy, fresh berries from roadside stalls, and delicious treats from the bakeries in the charming inland towns of the Otway Harvest Trail.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to see the Great Ocean Road?

The best way to experience the Great Ocean Road is in a campervan, caravan, or motorhome. An RV gives you the freedom to travel at your own pace, stop wherever you like, and stay overnight in stunning coastal locations. You aren't tied to a rigid schedule, meaning you can visit popular spots like the 12 Apostles when the crowds are smaller.

How long does the drive take and is it difficult?

It's highly recommended to allow at least three days to properly enjoy the drive. The road is fully sealed and well-maintained, but it is a winding, two-lane road in many sections. It's important to drive carefully, be aware of your vehicle's size, and use the designated pull-over areas to let faster traffic pass. Taking your time makes the journey safer and far more rewarding.

Where can I camp along the Great Ocean Road?

The route is well-serviced with excellent caravan parks and campsites in all the key towns, including Torquay, Lorne, Apollo Bay, and Port Campbell. These parks offer great facilities and powered sites for all RV types. Booking your campsite in advance is essential, especially during summer and school holidays.

When is the best time of year to go?

The shoulder seasons of Autumn (March-May) and Spring (September-November) are often considered the best time to visit, offering pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Summer (December-February) is the most popular season but also the busiest. Winter (June-August) offers its own dramatic beauty, with wild seas, lush green landscapes, and the chance to spot migrating whales.

What happens if I have a breakdown?

All hires made through Camplify include 24/7 nationwide roadside assistance. If you experience a breakdown, you should contact the dedicated roadside assistance number provided by Camplify. The policy includes assistance with issues like flat batteries and tyres, as well as towing if required. In the event of a major mechanical breakdown, it also includes contributions towards accommodation and alternative transport.

The ideal vehicle for every traveller

No two road trips are the same, and the right vehicle can make all the difference. Whether you're a solo adventurer, a family on holiday, or a couple seeking comfort, there's a perfect RV waiting for you.

The nimble campervan: for ultimate freedom

A campervan is the perfect choice for those who want to explore every nook and cranny of the Great Ocean Road. Its compact size makes navigating the winding coastal roads a breeze and opens up a wider range of camping spots. It’s ideal for couples or solo travellers who want a simple, easy, and adventurous way to see the sights.

The comfortable caravan: your home base for exploration

For families or those who prefer to set up a comfortable base, a caravan is an excellent option. Tow your caravan to a holiday park in a central location like Apollo Bay and use your car for day trips to the 12 Apostles or the Otway rainforest. This gives you the best of both worlds: a stable and spacious home-away-from-home and the flexibility to explore without packing up every day. Many owners also offer a delivery and setup service!

The luxurious motorhome: travel in style and comfort

A motorhome offers the ultimate in comfort and convenience for your Great Ocean Road journey. With a full kitchen, bathroom, and spacious living area, you have all the amenities of home wherever you park. A motorhome is perfect for families or groups who want to travel in self-contained luxury, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations.

All the comforts of home, on the road

No matter which type of vehicle you choose, you can find one equipped with everything you need for a fantastic trip.

  • Essential amenities: Look for vehicles with a private toilet and shower, a full kitchen, and a comfortable bed to ensure a smooth and relaxing journey.

  • Outdoor living: Make the most of the stunning scenery with an RV that includes an awning, outdoor chairs, and even a BBQ.

  • Pet-friendly options: Don't leave your furry friend behind! Many owners on Camplify offer pet-friendly vehicles, so the whole family can enjoy the adventure together.
