Camping on the Great Ocean Walk
This privately owned campsite has stunning views to the east over Milanesia Beach and the mighty southern ocean, the heavenly nightsky away from the lights and pollution of civilisation. Ponder the infamous “Eye of the Needle” as you gaze out on the beacons of hope from the Cape Otway and King Island Lighthouses.

An absolute hidden gem!
Stayed at Melanesia Bay campsite with 5 friends while walking the great ocean walk, honestly the most beautiful campsite we have stayed at, eco toilet, shower & cooking facilities were great, and the views were amazing, will definitely be back!

A wonderful hidden hideaway glamping experience with breathtaking views of the bay - we had the most amazing experience staying here & the attention to detail is incredible.

The site is fitted out with a wonderful kitchen dining area including the most magnificent hand made wooden table & benches.... Kitchen has everything & more than you could imagine...it is so well kitted out, even a wood burning stove to keep you warm after your supper.
There is an excellent eco shower & compostable loo on site.

During my two-night stay I was captivated by its breathtaking views, particularly during the sunrise. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a tranquil outdoor experience. Accommodation consisted of a tent capable of accommodating five individuals, including four single-form mattresses with pillows. Additionally, a shared cooking area was available, complete with all necessary utensils and gas. games. This convenience eliminated the need for campers to carry their own utensils, as everything was conveniently provided. Keep in mind Camp site is 5-7 minutes walk from the car parking. Highly recommendedPosted on Google![]()

A wonderful hidden hideaway glam ping experience with breathtaking views of the bay - we had the most amazing experience staying here & the attention to detail is incredible. We slept in a 4 bed yurt directly overlooking Milanesia bay with a stunning sunrise to wake up to...there is another yurt in the camp & the cutest little pygmy hut which sleeps 2 (all have amazing views of the ocean & bay) The site is fitted out with a wonderful kitchen dining area including the most magnificent hand made wooden table & benches.... Kitchen has everything & more than you could imagine...it is so well kitted out, even a wood burning stove to keep you warm after your supper. There is an excellent eco shower & compostable loo on site. The owner has designed & built it all himself & it's so well appointed & laid out - we would highly recommend a stay here 🏕️🌞🌌Posted on Google![]()
