Johanna Beach Campground

Johanna Beach Campground sits within Great Otway National Park along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, on the Shipwreck Coast.

Surrounded by eucalyptus forest and coastal scrub, the campground offers large, open, grassy sites nestled between sand dunes and a lush hinterland. A dedicated section serves hikers on the Great Ocean Walk. A short walk from camp leads to a 3.

6-kilometre golden sand beach where the Johanna River meets the sea. The beach is well known for consistent surf, with waves averaging 1. 5 metres or more, though swimmers should be aware of strong rips.

Basic facilities include drop toilets and water; no showers are available. The campground is dog-on-lead friendly and sits less than an hour from Port Campbell National Park and the Twelve Apostles.
