Melbourne to the Grampians with a caravan or motorhome
Melbourne to the Grampians runs 262 km from Melbourne to Halls Gap. With a car and caravan, you're looking at 4 h 15 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: Melbourne · Ballarat · Ararat · Halls Gap
Is Melbourne to the Grampians 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.
- No long climbs: the steepest kilometre is about 6%.
- It keeps you off 6 nearby roads with a signed limit your rig wouldn't clear, like Southbank Boulevard (2 m high), York Street (2.8 m high) and Albert Street (2.6 m high).

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.
