*CAMP CO IS A CAMPSITE - due to a few reviews I wanted to be very clear that the space is a camp site and is a rustic “glamping” getaway.*

Camp CO is camping made simple and enjoyable with our off-grid, solar-powered caravan and outdoor living site on the grounds of Cape Otway Homestead. It's settled in the remote trees of the Otway National Park & Aire River Valley. Charlie, the retro caravan sleeps two adults and two children with a double bed and bunk beds. Camping becomes a dream when you have a complete outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, a bathroom with a composting toilet and a warm running shower with views of the eucalypts. Enjoy the outdoor living room with big comfy chairs, a cozy fireplace in our Bolt Box and eclectic decor. Discover wallabies, koalas and birdlife right outside the door. Take a journey to the inlet, a 5 minute drive down to the Aire River, especially magically if you take the Great Ocean Walk path down the main beach. Once there, enjoy a swim, kayak, or sandboarding, or relax on your own private beach. You'll be amazed how picturesque and secluded it is - a perfectly kept secret.

Additional Information

A solar generator powers Camp CO, so the power supply can be limited based on weather conditions. All guests will receive a generator with full power, but how long that lasts depends on the weather conditions (sun) and how much you use. The off-grid system has a rainwater tank system, solar-powered lights/fairy lights, joolca hot water system using propane, and bolt box using fire. It's important to mention that although the site is powered, it is strongly urged to use the resources respectfully.

Hi. My name is Jacqueline, the host The Cape Otway Homestead, The Guesthouse at COH, Koala Cottage, Stone Cottage and Camp CO. My husband and I stumbled across the homestead at the beginning of 2020 and decided to purchase it to bring it back to its former glory. We fell in love with the golden hour views, the way the Grampian stonework shines around the entire homestead and how magnificent the wildlife is on the 60 acres of national forest around the cabins. We think it’s a pretty magical spot. We hope you enjoy it too. Follow along on insta @capeotwayhomestead

Walk And Explore The Property

There's a garden with home grown produce and herbs just down the track from camp. Make sure you say hello to the goats Billy and Chilli while your there and remember to shut the gate friends. There's also a playground with tree house, slide and trampoline just a hop, skip and jump away from the garden too.

Wildlife Spotting

Loads of king parrots, other birds and koalas getting about the property! I saw loads of wildlife every day! The camp provides some bird seed for you to scatter around to help bring in the feathery friends!

Camp Cooking

All the tools, pizza base ingredients, recipe and pizza oven supplied! Rock up to camp with your pizza toppings and your ready to create in the camp kitchen! I went with a simple potato, rosemary, garlic and cheese pizza as well as a pumpkin, spinach, cheese and goats cheese for a bit of extra! Heaven on a plate! You can source some of the herbs from the property garden.
