Australia Campervan Holiday in Victoria

Nestled in the southeastern corner of Australia, Victoria is a veritable playground for campervan travellers. With everything from winding coastal road trip routes like the Great Ocean Road to the artsy alleys of Melbourne, where you can meander through art galleries and feast on great food and historic sites, it’s a state that packs a punch!

With a landscape as diverse as a well-stocked cheese board—from the cool, temperate regions of the south to the sun-kissed northwestern plains—a campervan gives you the freedom to roam and the comfort of taking your home with you. Ready to experience this diverse state for yourself? This blog is your roadmap to exploring all the eclectic charms of Victoria and making the most out of your campervan adventure with your family. But first...

 

Why explore VIC by campervan

Picture this: you’re waking up to a different view every morning—maybe today it’s the surf breaking on a pristine beach, and tomorrow it’s the rolling hills of a vineyard. That’s the beauty of exploring Victoria in a campervan. Think of a campervan trip through Victoria as the ultimate freedom ticket.

Want to linger a little longer by that stunning beach you just found or explore the vibrant city centre of Melbourne? No problem. Feel like waking up to the breathtaking views of the Grampians? Go for it. Campervans offer the flexibility to change your itinerary on the fly, discovering hidden gems along the way.

An Australia campervan holiday through Victoria is also incredibly cost-effective, saving you money on accommodation and dining since you can cook and sleep in your mobile home. Moreover, for families, the comfort and convenience of having all your essentials with you, where your vehicle doubles as your accommodation, is invaluable. This freedom to roam makes campervanning in Victoria an unbeatable way to explore everything from the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne's live music and art scene.

 

Things to do in Victoria

Ready for an action-packed itinerary full of food, events, music, history, sports events and more? Victoria has everything, from breathtaking natural landscapes to a bustling city and thriving food and festival scene. Whether you’re into hitting the surf, sampling gourmet delights, soaking up culture or simply cosying up in a cafe watching people walking by, you’re in for a treat.

You could start your day with a sunrise walk in Wilson’s Promontory, one of the southernmost points of the Australian mainland known for its stunning bushland and sea views, and end with a vibrant evening exploring Melbourne’s eclectic food markets.

Don’t miss the Queen Victoria Market, known for its high-quality fresh produce. You can also catch a performance at one of Melbourne’s renowned concert halls or simply enjoy a little live music at a local pub. The coastal lines are perfect for beach adventures, while the inner regions offer lush vineyards and breweries, particularly in areas like the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula.

The state is also rich in arts and culture, especially in Melbourne, Australia’s cultural capital, where you can dive into the arts scene, visit art galleries, or catch a live show. What's more, this state is the home of the largest colonies of fairy penguins in the world! Phillip Island has become famous for its penguin parade tour, where you can see these little penguins return ashore at sunset. With a campervan, each of these experiences is just a drive away.

When it comes to beachfront campsites, NSW is home to some incredible options to make your van travel truly unforgettable. Boasting prime locations, impressive views and family-friendly facilities, there are some true gems to stay at in a motorhome or campervan hire when travelling in NSW. To make road trip planning easier, we’ve detailed our top spots to stay at when you rent a travel van to explore New South Wales. Plus, with the Apollo rental branch conveniently located in Sydney near the airport, picking up and dropping off your travel van is a breeze.

 

Why you should visit NSW

If you're looking for a destination that has it all, New South Wales is a top contender. With its breathtaking coastal beauty, diverse landscapes, charming towns and vibrant cities, NSW is a perfect place to explore on a campervan holiday. There are so many great things to do in Sydney and don’t forget to venture further afield from the golden sands of Byron Bay to the picturesque Sapphire Coast. NSW beaches are some of the most stunning in Australia, boasting great holiday parks in prime beachfront locations.

 

The best way to explore NSW

When it comes to exploring NSW, there's no better way to do it than by hitting the road with an Apollo campervan hire. With a range of modern and well-equipped campervans, enjoy your journey in comfort and style. As well as this, travelling in a motorhome or campervan gives you the freedom and flexibility of enjoying the trip on your own time, without compromising on incredible accommodation locations.
