Camping Tips

  • Book camping the moment tickets go on sale — the island has extremely limited beds
  • October weather on Phillip Island is unpredictable. Ocean winds make it feel colder than Melbourne. Bring warm layers
  • You will need a car on the island — there is no public transport to the circuit
  • Wildlife is everywhere. Penguins, wallabies, and wombats are genuine neighbours
