Aire Crossing campsite

This was by far our favourite site we stayed at during our 8 day great ocean road adventure. As you wind up and down the track engulfed with rainforest you arrive at the end of the track and find this gem of a campsite. There is a 4WD only track that was closed off at the bottom, so for now this is the end of the road that you follow so you cannot miss it. There is a rushing creek 100m away from the campsite that is just so peaceful and beautiful. It was very cold when we went (late Sept) but we still were able to enjoy the sunset and set up our chairs in the creek for the afternoon sun. It was a highlight of our trip!

There is a drop toilet 2 min walk up a track to use. No rainwater in the tank when we were there. No bins, must take all rubbish.

There are a couple of things to note about this place before deciding to go ..

It is a free campsite, no booking or payment required. It is very small, only room for 5 sites, 6 at maximum. We arrived at about 2pm and were lucky to snag the last place we could set up. During the afternoon there were two other campers arrive and had to turn back because there was no space. Then again, at about 8.30pm a party of 7 cars came hurdling down the windy road hoping to set up for the night, but they all had to turn around too. So, take the warning that you must turn up early to find a spot to set up.

We have a Nissan xtrail and had no problem using the road to this campsite.

No fires, but a beautiful spot. Book your site.

Quiet off grid camp-site, with only a few spots. No fires allowed, perfect for couples. 6 bays for camping. Nice short walk to the water where you can chill on the rocks and watch time drift by. Drop toilets are a small walk away too.

Beautiful spot tucked away in the forest next to a river. The campsite itself is quite small so get in early. No fire's or dogs.

Beautiful secluded spot ,quite a good condition road all the way in
Cleanest drop toilet I've seen

Beautiful and peaceful campground! But make sure to not drive the by Google maps suggested (shorter) road to the triplet falls, since it is only for 4WD, as we found out on the other end...

Lovely little spot. The track coming in from Wait-A-While Road says 4WD only, but my corolla handles the track easily. There are only 5 or 6 sites but they are situated right next to the river. The drop toilets are also ~100m away from the campsite, meaning no smell wafts toward campers; although they were very clean for drop toilets during our visit.

One of the best free camps we have ever been to! No phone signal. Clean toilets. 5 sites, slightly uneven.

Great, quiet campground with close access to gentle river swimming, bridge jumping, and a short drive to awesome beach access. Great for families of all ages. Highly recommend!

5-6 free campsites, with one drop toilet. The location is amazing, very peaceful! The road in was in good conditions

Gorgeous secluded wee campsite, few spots though, be early. Drop toilet, no potable water, no reception.

10/10! This is an amazing camp site and free to boot. Toilet is a long drop but clean and new

Most beautiful camping place ever. So quite and peaceful. Clean toilet.

Magic camping in the middle of nothing! I never seen a camping as this!
