Pack up your motorhome, strap your surfboard to the roof of your campervan, and hop aboard for Australia’s most thrilling coastal road trip. Stretching for 150 miles (240 kilometres) from Torquay to Allansford, the Great Ocean Road boasts never-ending ocean panoramas, natural wonders like Twelve Apostles and Apollo Bay, and two national parks—Great Otway National Park and Port Campbell National Park. Just a 1.5-hour drive from Melbourne, Torquay is the eastern tip of the road and its self-appointed surf capital, where sandy beaches and world-class surf breaks are never more than a short drive away. Make the most of the town’s sunny beaches, coastal hikes, and laid-back surf culture and park your rig at a powered site right by the beach or snag a spot at a tranquil Hipcamp. Torquay’s only caravan park is located close to the beach and has facilities, including a camp kitchen, children’s playground, and BBQs.
