Johanna Beach Campground
Overview
Johanna Beach Campground sits right on the edge of the Great Otway National Park, offering a laid-back camping experience just steps from the surf and sand. The sites are set on gently rolling grassland, surrounded by coastal vegetation and open views. Its the sort of spot where you wake up to the sound of waves and can wander straight down to the beach for a morning stroll or a bit of fishing.
Facilities are basic but practical, with toilets and a shared outdoor basin, so its best to come prepared. Campers are encouraged to bring their own water and take all rubbish home, keeping the area pristine for everyone. The atmosphere is peaceful and social, with no generators allowed and a focus on simple, nature-based camping.

Campers love Johanna Beach Campground for its stunning coastal setting right on the Great Ocean Road, with easy beach access, mesmerising waves and epic sunrises and sunsets. Reviewers rave about the peaceful vibe, roomy grassy sites, and the chance to spot wildlife like wrens, other birds and even koalas. It is dog friendly on lead, great for long beach walks and star gazing, and there are lovely rock pools to cool off in. Many mention the beautiful lookout and viewing points, plus the clifftop Great Ocean Walk hike?in campground.
Practical touches get plenty of praise too: clean drop and composting toilets, a rainwater tap for washing, an undercover picnic table area, and a big day?use car park. Visitors also like the short stroll to the sand, the sound of the ocean at night, and the generally quiet, relaxed crowd. Overall, it is a well?maintained, scenic spot thats perfect for caravans, campervans and tents alike.
