Blanket Bay

My first time camping in Melb and it was absolutely amazing! Great views, weather. Got to see wild koalas and chased crabs on the beach

Worth the trek off the main road even just for a day visit. The road in is unsealed, but in fairly good condition. The bay is lovely and sheltered from the wind, and there’s lots of interesting rocks and shells to pick through if you’re so inclined. Little fairy wrens live in the shrubbery along the beach so you’ll see lots of them flitting about too. Overall a lovely little secret spot.

One of the best spots I've been in the great Ocean road. Although the water is still chilly, is has a sort of natural pool and so is a bit warmer. Great spot to picnic !

Easy MTB ride along sand tracks, dramatic beach.

Beautiful camp site! Well maintained facilities. Right on the coast. Lots of wildlife around. Excellent beaches to explore. Book ahead if going during busy periods.

Sublime and beguiling — when the weather is pleasant (early morning and evenings in summer). From my last visit, it was a dreadful, dreary, grey and wet place to be stuck in, but bad weather passes quickly. Cape Otway to the west provides some protection from southerly fronts that wander through. The rock strata at low tide is interesting to explore (watch for critters, both good and bad), and the shoreline can throw up some peculiar flotsam, like fossilised sea-horses and bottles from far away lands. The campground is well sheltered but falling branches during the storm when I was there caused concern. Blanket Bay is great for photography/artists, challenging one to seek out small vignettes that tell a story or speak of the bay's ruggedness.

An amazing destination tucked away in the Otways. If you get the chance to explore this area, it's certainly well worth it. The dirt roads probably aren't well suited to sedans, especially in wet weather so take care. Lots of walking tracks around the area. Wildlife everywhere and if you're lucky, you'll probably end up seeing more then a few koalas up in the trees.

Great spot for camping with running water and toilet block. Good fishing off the rocks to the northern side of the beach. A great place to stay for a few days!

Beautiful place to camp with children. Very popular with families. Safe beach for swimming.

Lovely beach. In the winter, it's almost empty. We had a great walk along the beach here.

I want to rate this as 1 star so it keeps people away so I can keep the secret... it’s an amazing spot. Make sure you book.

Wildlife, beaches and adventure are really waiting here! Amazing place to camp!

Nice view

Very safe place if your camping with your kids

Love blanket Bay. So beautiful and a nice stop on great ocean walk

Great unpowered sites, nice unpolluted night skies.

Quiet bay with rocks at low tide to explore and solitude to spare.

Beautiful! A must see for anyone travelling the great Ocean road.

Great camping and beach spot
