If you're looking to hit the road in your motorhome, there's no better place to begin than Melbourne. As the gateway to some of Australia's most scenic and iconic travel routes, Melbourne offers motorhome owners a world of discovery right on its doorstep.

Whether you’re in a compact Avida Bruny or a fully equipped Avida Longreach, Victoria is packed with road trip gems for every style of traveller. So, fill up the tank, stock the fridge and check out some of the must-see destinations within easy reach of Melbourne.

1. Great Ocean Road – A Coastal Classic

This world-famous drive needs no introduction. Winding along dramatic cliffs and past pristine beaches, the Great Ocean Road is a dream for motorhome adventurers. Explore surf towns like Torquay and Lorne, pull up beside the iconic 12 Apostles, and enjoy beachfront caravan parks with million-dollar views. Many sites cater perfectly to self-contained vehicles, making it an easy and unforgettable escape.

2. The Grampians – For Nature and Adventure Lovers

Head three hours northwest of Melbourne and you’ll find rugged mountain ranges, waterfalls, and ancient Aboriginal rock art in the Grampians National Park. With plenty of bushland caravan parks and free campsites, this region is ideal for those who want to unplug and reconnect with nature—hike, stargaze and enjoy campfire meals in complete serenity.

3. Mornington Peninsula – A Seaside Escape

Just over an hour’s drive from the city, the Mornington Peninsula offers beaches, wineries, hot springs and boutique towns. With plenty of powered sites and motorhome-friendly parks, it’s the perfect long weekend destination. Don’t miss the Peninsula Hot Springs or the winding road to Cape Schanck for stunning clifftop views.

4. Phillip Island – Penguins, Beaches and Motorsport

This family-friendly favourite has something for everyone. Watch the famous Penguin Parade, visit the Koala Conservation Centre or time your visit with the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix. There’s no shortage of campsites and plenty of great food stops along the way.

5. High Country and Bright – Autumn Colours and Alpine Charm

If you’re travelling in cooler months, Victoria’s High Country is magic. Bright, in particular, is famous for its autumn colours, local produce, and cycle trails. The roads here are a dream to drive, and many alpine villages offer great options for motorhome travellers, even in the off-season.

6. The Murray River – A Slower Pace

Follow the curves of the mighty Murray for a motorhome journey through Australia’s inland heart. Echuca, Swan Hill and Mildura are all steeped in history and rich with riverfront camping opportunities. This is a great region for relaxed, extended stays—just park, unpack and let the river life set your pace.
