Melbourne to Adelaide along the coast with a caravan or motorhome
Melbourne to Adelaide along the coast runs 684 km from Warrnambool to Adelaide. With a car and caravan, you're looking at about 11 hours 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: Warrnambool · Portland · Mount Gambier · Robe · Kingston SE · Adelaide
Is Melbourne to Adelaide along the coast 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.
- It keeps you off 1 nearby road with a signed limit your rig wouldn't clear, like Topham Mall (2.03 m high).
- Road reports change daily out here. Motocamp checks SA Department for Infrastructure and Transport and Traffic SA for the day you travel.

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.
