Wye River Foreshore Reserve

Campers love Wye River Foreshore Reserve for its unbeatable beachfront location and laid back vibe. Reviews rave about being steps from the sand, falling asleep to the sound of the waves and spotting local wildlife like koalas and birds. The setting on the Great Ocean Road is a winner, with a surf life saving club next door, a pub overlooking the bay and a handy cafe/coffee shop/store nearby, complete with a free library box for holiday reads.

Facilities get consistent praise, with many noting clean, modern amenities, good toilets and showers, powered sites and a handy camp kitchen. It is a smaller, quieter spot than nearby towns, which adds to the relaxed feel. Great for a short break or a longer stay, especially if you want easy beach access and a chilled coastal escape.
