FEATURED DESTINATION
WYE RIVER, VICTORIA
One of my favourite getaways is the Wye River campground on the Great Ocean Road. We go every January. The kids run wild and free and I swear they grow up a little every time we go.
WHY WE LOVE IT
I love the freedom the campground gives them to go off riding and meeting new friends and there is so much for the kids to do with the playground, jumping pillow, go-karts, pet goats on site to feed and many koalas in the trees to check out!
WHAT’S ON
There’s movie nights on Wednesdays and Sundays where we all huddle together in our sleeping bags under the stars in the valley. The days are spent in the surf and in the rock pools at the beach before heading home to camp. We have frequent visits from many food trucks, maybe pizza one night or a Mexican taco truck the next.
MY FAVOURITE ACTIVITY
Every holiday we go on I take time to have a separate date with each of my kids. I love seeing their little faces, so excited just to be with me on their own for a chat over a baby chino and a play at the park.
WHY GLAMP?
This is my type of camping, being outdoors but having a little bit of comfort like the beautiful cafe at the entrance of the park with amazing coffee and fresh bread daily and a buzzing pub up on the cliff with insane views for afternoon drinks. Camp, beach, eat, repeat.
