Travellers love Port Campbell Recreation Reserve Camp Ground for its handy location and value. Its an easy walk or bike ride into town and the beach, and a great base for the 12 Apostles, Gibsons Steps and the Grotto. Many mention peaceful, tree?screened spots with shade, nice outlooks and even good shelter from coastal winds. Pet friendly, with both powered and unpowered sites, its a solid overnight stop or a few nights to explore the Great Ocean Road.
Highlights include clean amenities with hot showers, a well set out camp kitchen and BBQs (plus kettle, stove and sinks), a communal fire pit, laundry and a kids playground. Reviewers also note new water and power connections, level sites in places, and friendly, helpful staff. Pricing is frequently described as reasonable with good-value deals, making it an easy, budget-friendly stay close to everything.
