    The Reserve Inverloch

    1 site · RV, Tent10 acres · Inverloch, VIC
    The Reserve Inverloch is a 10acre wetlands bush block located both 3 mins from the centre of town and the pristine surf beach of Inverloch. Inverloch is located 1 hour and 45 minutes south east from Melbourne on the stunning South Gippsland Coast, the gateway to the famous Wilsons Promontory National Park, Philip Island is 40mins away, the block would be a great base to explore all the local beaches and walking trails, or just spend your days on Inverloch's patrolled surf beach and inlet and at night relax camping amongst all the local kangaroos and wombats. The site has no power or running water and to stay you must have an off road off grid camper with toilet and running water and take away everything you bring. It would best suit people who love nature and the beach, this is an environmentally sensitive site so parties and loud music are not permitted.

    We started off spending weekends camping on our peaceful pocket of bush paradise when we built our home. We have since kept the campsite maintained and a place for family and friends to stay and escape their busy lives. Most recently, we have opened it up to Hipcamp in late 2020 where we have loved sharing our property and getting to know fellow campers.

    The best camping near Mornington Peninsula National Park guide

    Overview

    About

    A favourite seaside escape for city dwellers, Mornington Peninsula National Park is an easy drive south of Melbourne. Australia’s casual surfers flock here to ride the waves at Gunnamatta, Flinders, and Point Leo beaches, while hikers who prefer to stay dry can soak up sweeping views of Bass Strait on the 18-kilometre Coastal Walk stretching from Cape Schanck to Portsea. Along the area’s sheltered northern coastline, foreshore camping areas feather out from colourful seaside villages like Sorrento, Blairgowrie, Rye, and Dromana.

    Notable campgrounds

    • Best for families: The largest foreshore spot with more than 800 campsites, Rosebud Foreshore Campground stretches along Port Phillip Bay and features kids’ play structures and shady picnic lawns.
    • Best for boaters: Sorrento is close to boat ramps and the Queenscliff ferry for easy access to the Bellarine Peninsula. 
    • Best for wildlife watchers: Inland at Green’s Bush, Lightwood Camping Area is home to wallabies, kangaroos, and birdlife.

    Tips for snagging a campsite

    1. For large campgrounds like Rosebud, Rye, and Sorento, book a site online via the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s website. Camping permits are required and must be displayed at your site.
    2. Avoid the Christmas season (late December through January) and other holidays for lower camping fees and fewer crowds.
    3. Summer peak season reservations must be booked before the end of the current year’s peak season and require a deposit. If you’re too late, you can grab a spot on the waitlist.

    When to go

    Foreshore camping is open between late October and April each year, with peak season running during the Australian summer holidays (after Christmas), Easter, Labour Day, and the Melbourne Cup weekend (the last weekend in October). Go midweek or during shoulder season (February and March) for more room to roam while still enjoying warm weather. If you’re planning to visit Mornington Peninsula restaurants and wineries, note that many are closed on Monday and Tuesday.

    Know before you go

    • Fires, including barbecues, are banned at all Mornington Peninsula camping areas. Pack a gas stove for cooking instead. 
    • Hot showers and toilet blocks are available at Rosebud, Rye, and Sorrento campgrounds. 
    • Campsites at Rosebud are not clearly marked, so get a map and ask for directions from the ranger’s office. 
    • Book a pup sitter, as dogs and other pets are not welcome at camping areas.
