Top choice in Great Ocean Road
Down a dirt road 3km from the lighthouse is this character-filled caravan park with bush sites, cabins, bunkhouses, pods and old-school caravans. It's fantastic for families, backpackers and hikers on the Great Ocean Walk. There's plenty of wildlife about, including koalas, and there's a rock-climbing wall ($15) and outdoor cinema. It has eco-cred too, with its use of solar power and water-saving initiatives.
For the cheaper rooms you'll need to bring your own linen, or you can rent it here.
