Ringwood is east of Melbourne. A Great Ocean Road itinerary begins on the other side of the city, so leave room for that transfer in your plan.

Choose the vehicle after the route.
Compare seating and sleeping spaces, then check the vehicle's equipment and permitted roads. A category in the fleet does not guarantee availability at Melbourne for your dates.

The Ringwood depot is east of central Melbourne. If the Great Ocean Road is first on your list, include the cross-city drive in your arrival plan rather than treating the depot as a coastal starting point.
For an eastern itinerary, consider a Gippsland trip and research overnight stops before departure. Wilsons Promontory offers walks and camping; check the park’s current booking arrangements and vehicle suitability.
Preparing a coastal campervan itinerary
Decide whether you want a short coastal trip or a longer loop with nights away from the main road. Campsites have different facilities and booking arrangements, so confirm what your vehicle needs before reserving.
Read our Great Ocean Road mini-camper guide and Wilsons Promontory camping guide for practical planning ideas.
Check the official Victorian campground booking information before you travel. Information and conditions can change.
Campground checks
- Identify the campground operator for each stop.
- Check availability and whether the site accommodates your camper.
- Review current park alerts before leaving Ringwood.
