The best camping near Mornington with surfing

·

Mornington packs a punch for surfing campers. With over 30 sites tailored for surf-lovers, you can roll out your swag just minutes from breaks like Gunnamatta or Point Leo. Expect average nightly rates around $45, with some options dipping as low as $30. The vibe here is practical: think hot showers after a dawn session, campfires at dusk, and pet-friendly spots so your mate can tag along. Fishing and wildlife-watching fill the lulls between sets. Standouts include Berry's Beach Farm, Phillip Island (203 reviews), Coastal Farm Camp (147 reviews), and Inverloch - Bunurong Country (109 reviews). You’ll find campsites tucked behind dunes, scattered along the coast, and hidden near tidal inlets. Local tip: pack a windbreak and your best wetsuit—conditions change fast, but the payoff is worth it.

Your choice of your very own 10 acres of pasture, although you will have to share it with wallabies, bandicoots, a variety of birds and the occasional echidna.

A great way to get amongst the gum trees and ti-trees, to sit back and relax with the amazing views. Take the time to experience Phillip Island and surrounds! Banksia Park Estate is in Newhaven, Phillip Island and is the perfect rural getaway! The property has you feeling like you are far away from civilisation, yet you are so close to all that Phillip Island has to offer.

My wife and I had a great stay in our 7.5m motorhome, and the camp site was very quiet and private. The potable water (accessible near house shed) is a bonus as well as the fire pit, log stools, and games box. Brooke is very proactive and responded quickly to any queries we had. Will definitely look forward to returning in the future.

Weekend Trip to Berry's Beach Farm, Phillip Island
We camped on Wayne and Deb's farm over a busy long weekend on Phillip Island and it was wonderful to have such a quiet place to come back to, away from crowds. Close to Berry's beach for walks and rockpools, close to Phillip Island winery for drinks, food and music. A short drive to a local cafe and a great base for exploring the island. Wayne and Deb were friendly and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Paddock was spacious and we had lots of space to spread out. The water tap close to our van was handy. A great stay and would recommend for a quiet getaway on the island.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sommerleigh! Gorgeous location that had everything we needed, nestled in nature and surrounded by so many birds. It felt intimate and private, perfect for a romantic weekend away. The wood stove was absolutely divine and rainy weather was no problem because it was so cosy rugged up indoors by the fire watching the rain through the big windows and hearing the rain on the tin roof. Jeff was lovely and made sure we knew everything we needed to know before leaving us to it. I highly recommend this special gem of a stay!
