Suggested pacing, not a fixed tour. Check current roads, weather, permits and campsite access, book sites that fit your vehicle and follow your agreed hire conditions.
Melbourne to the peninsula
Collect your vehicle, stock the fridge and head to a pre-booked peninsula campsite. Keep the first afternoon simple: learn your setup, take a short foreshore stroll and cook an easy meal.
Before you go: Book a pitch sized for your motorhome and arrive before dark.
Stay put on the Mornington Peninsula
Use one base for a beach morning, village cafés and a walking day. Pick activities around the weather rather than trying to see both coasts in a rush. Leave an afternoon for reading, swimming or a short suitable bike ride.
Before you go: Check weather, beach conditions and activity bookings before setting off.
Around the bay to Phillip Island
Drive around Western Port to Phillip Island rather than assuming a vehicle ferry will take your motorhome. Pause for lunch, then settle into your island campsite.
Before you go: Allow for the rack, vehicle height and campsite access.
Island days
Choose a coastal walk, a beach picnic and a booked wildlife experience. Give children time for a playground or a quiet campsite afternoon. Keep wildlife viewing respectful and follow the operator’s current guidance.
Before you go: Reserve popular activities and confirm pet rules in natural areas.
An easy Melbourne return
Leave time for breakfast, packing, fuel and any required waste disposal before returning. A relaxed final morning is better than racing the agreed handover time.
Before you go: Check your return requirements in the booking.
