Discover Victoria's stunning campgrounds, from coastal havens to alpine retreats and geothermal wonders.
Need some time under canvas? Victoria’s epic campgrounds offer ocean views, vineyards, caves and hot springs.Point Nepean National Park is located next to the seaside town of Portsea on the tip of Mornington Peninsula. Its 46 newish Discovery Tents – khaki, canvas tents are pre-pitched among native grasses, acacia trees and incredible coastal scenery. They cater to two or four people and have stretcher beds with thick mattresses.
The communal kitchen and bathroom (including hot showers) is housed in a heritage weatherboard building next to an outdoor barbeque area with shade umbrellas. The visitor centre has info on the park’s historic Fort Nepean and Quarantine Station and, incidentally, a coffee van. SeeLake Catani, in Mount Buffalo National Park on the west of Victoria’s alpine region, was artificially constructed more than a century ago, and now looks like an idyllic pond in a native highland setting. Next to it, nestled among the snow gums, the campground has 49 unpowered campsites suitable for tents mostly, but also caravans and campervans. Excellent facilities include toilets, hot showers and fire-pits. Campers can swim, kayak and fish, before gathering by the fire in the old stone cottage. SeeJutting into Bass Strait, ‘The Prom’ is an intensely beautiful landscape of granite peaks, rainforest, rivers and squeaky sand. Tidal River, the main hub, has a visitor centre and campground with 484 campsites (20 of which are powered). Facilities include toilets, (hot) showers, gas barbecues, a laundry and dump point. It’s big and busy, but it’s Victoria’s most loved with boundaries including the sandy flats of clear Tidal River and the turquoise waves of Norman Beach. SeePeninsula Hot Springs offers a literal immersion in nature with its showcase of natural geothermal mineral spring pools. Among the native landscape of tea-tree and sheoak, 10 heavy-duty canvas glamping tents tastefully blend luxury with rejuvenation in nature
