The Aire River Crossing camping area is located in the Great Otways National Park, where visitors can camp in the rainforest when travelling along Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road. Alternatively, you can drive there directly via an inland route through the Otways. Aire River Campsite is spectacularly located among huge Eucalyptus and ancient Tree Ferns and is located in the heart of the Otways National Park, just next to Aire River. To access the Aire River Crossing camping area will take you around 3-hours if driving from Melbourne. The campsite itself is located some 50 metres from Aire River, and features an attractive small area on the bank where you can set up your camp chair and listen to the running water and read a book. All camping at Aire River Crossing will be first in, first-served. The Aire River Crossing Camping is close to Triplet Falls, the Red Woods forest and Otways High Wire. There are loads of day hikes and bushwalks in the area for the more adventurous. Fishing is also a popular activity, where you can fish just a few short metres from your campsite and where Brown Trout up to 2kg and 50-60cm in length can be caught. Like most campgrounds in Victorian national and state parks, Parks Vic has built and maintains drop toilets with a tank and tap next to it – please note the water is not suitable for drinking. THe toilets are located a short walk from the camping area. There’s an additional car park giving you more room at your campsite. Fires are NOT permitted. There are no fees to camp at Aire River Crossing and you can’t book campsites. Please note that at most times of the year you won’t have any problem finding a campsite, however, the campground does often fill up on weekends, public holidays and school holidays during summer and over Easter so get there early if possible during these peak periods.
