Free/low cost camping spot near Torquay Vict next week


The wife and I will be in Torquay next week and would prefer to free camping. Any ideas?

Its annoying when great stretches if road don't have free stops. Great ocean road is no exception. Maybe businesses would complain as we don't use their accommodation? Of course if you are fatigued you have to stop for a break right.? Think I'll pull in here at this parking bay...oh what a view....

closest would be a half hour or so inland, nearer the Otways Spike.

No such thing unfortunately. Very little free camping available along the Great Ocean Road or environs. cry.gif  Lots of Asian tourists taking ''selfies'' traveling in hundreds of buses daily though.blankstare

If there was such a thing as a free camp in that area it'd be full all year round. wink Inland from there Winchelsea has a recently upgraded stopover. smile.gif

Some free camping in the Otways but nothing on the coast. Joanna was free but I believe there is a small charge. Always full of backpackers (not complaining, just noting). Plenty of room and quiet spots to be had. And toilets.

The Otways - rains 360 days of the year and drips from the trees the other 5. Extremely damp part of the country this time of year.
