Great Ocean Road with a caravan or motorhome
The Great Ocean Road runs 250 km from Torquay to Warrnambool. With a car and caravan, you're looking at 4 h 55 min behind the wheel. Our map shows it sealed the whole way.
We planned it on Motocamp's own router for a car and caravan and for a motorhome, at the sizes in the table below, so every number here comes from a real plan, not a guess.
The stops: Torquay · Lorne · Apollo Bay · Port Campbell · Warrnambool
Is the Great Ocean Road OK for a car and caravan?
Yes, on our plan. It gets through for a car and caravan without using a road signed too low, too short or closed to caravans. Here's what to keep an eye on.
- 3 km of it is steeper than 8%. The steepest kilometre is about 9% downhill on Great Ocean Road, at km 115.

Tell Motocamp what you drive, from an enduro bike to a 25-foot off-road caravan or a 10-metre motorhome, and it plans this trip for that vehicle: the roads it fits, the low bridges and closed roads to steer clear of, and places to stay on the way. The maps keep working where there's no signal.
