Description

The Mornington Peninsula has some of Victoria's most beautiful beaches, with white sandy bays, shallow waters for kids, top fishing spots and lots of aquatic activities. Best of all, three of these beaches are renowned in the caravan and camping world for their foreshore camping reserves and a wonderful sense of family and community spirit that goes back more than 70 years. The Shire manages foreshore camping along the natural foreshore reserves with beach access in Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento. These locations are great for accessing many of the Mornington Peninsula's recreational activities including swimming, walking, cycling and relaxing. Campsites are close to all local amenities including local shops, cafes, national parks/reserves, shared bay trails and are just a short drive to the peninsula's surf beaches and Western Port Bay. These sites offer a wonderful place to enjoy a great holiday experience. The views of the water just a few metres away at Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento are million dollar but the camping rates are very reasonable. The facilities are excellent (just bring your own tent or caravan), and right over the road are coastal villages with supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, sports and fishing gear suppliers and more. The reserves are very well managed and maintained by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, so you're assured of quality camping. And if you come off-peak, you can book great-value camping packages. Bookings are required.
