Your Beachfront Escape on the Bass Coast
Nestled directly on the serene shores of Anderson Inlet, the Inverloch Foreshore Camping Reserve offers an authentic Australian coastal holiday experience. This is the perfect destination for those who dream of waking to the gentle sound of waves and having the beach as their front yard. With its prime, absolute beachfront location, the park provides an unparalleled opportunity to unwind, reconnect with nature, and create lasting memories with family and friends.
The park prides itself on a relaxed, back-to-basics atmosphere, prioritising stunning natural scenery over excessive frills. The spacious grass sites are perfect for all types of setups, from traditional tents to large caravans and motorhomes. You can choose from powered sites for modern convenience or unpowered sites for a more rustic camping adventure. The calm, protected waters of the inlet are just steps away, making it an ideal spot for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing. For the kids, the endless sand provides a natural playground for building sandcastles and exploring.
Beyond the park’s boundaries, the charming town of Inverloch is just a short, pleasant stroll away. Here, you can explore boutique shops, enjoy a coffee at a local cafe, or dine at one of the excellent pubs or restaurants. The park also serves as a fantastic base for exploring the wider Gippsland region. Take a scenic drive along the coast to discover the rugged beauty of the Bunurong Marine National Park, or plan a day trip to the iconic Wilsons Promontory. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat to read a book by the sea or an active holiday filled with water sports and exploration, Inverloch Foreshore Camping Reserve is your ideal coastal haven.
