40km from Mornington Peninsula National Park · 4 sites · Lodging · French Island, VIC
French Island is Victoria’s best kept secret. Most of the island is national park. There are lots of koalas, echidnas, birds, wildflowers, and a general store. It’s a great place to getaway… from everything. Our cottage offers sustainable luxury, with two comfy queen-bed rooms, each has a private bathroom, plus a lounge/kitchen with a cosy fire.  There's space for four more camping nearby, sharing the facilities.This is off-the-grid living; electricity and water come from the sky, heat from burning home grown timber. Take a short walk to 5 kms of deserted beach and the national park, hang out round the fire-pit, enjoy our DVD and games library, order a meal… or a cocktail… or do nothing much at all. Our property is 75 acres of diverse wooded heath land, which we are enthusiastically rejuvenating to capture carbon. There’s a lot to see and like.

Our stay at Luke’s land was nothing short of wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. Luke went above and beyond to share all the details about the local area, giving us great tips on nearby attractions, restaurants, and things to do in town. It made exploring so much easier and added a personal touch to our visit. The campsite itself was lovely and peaceful, nestled in a quiet spot surrounded by nature. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. And let’s not forget about Roger, the friendly pet rooster! He was such a character, always hanging around and bringing a smile to our faces. Overall, Luke’s hospitality made our stay extra special. We left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a relaxing and memorable experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm getaway!

1 night at Green Gully Farmstay Camp Paddock
Me and my mates enjoyed Camping in the spacious Farm Land. Luke provieded us with a keg and firewood to make a Fire under the Stars at Night, which made this experience extra Special. Luke is a nice Host and his roaster Roger was great company. I recommend this Place to people who enjoy Nature and the simple and quiet Style of Camping. The Camp Site is safe, private and you have the Chance to encounter some wallabies and birds.

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.

The best camping in Mornington Peninsula National Park, VIC 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.
