Vic - Orbost - Cann River area looking for safe overnight free campsite

If you are looking for a free overnighter, then there is a rest area 100m or so off the highway a few km's east of Orbost (can't remember the name, but I think it is state forest, and there is a toilet/picnic shelter etc there). Some noise from highway but not too bad - fine in a van.

A better option if you have more time is to go down to Cape Conran coastal park. Beautiful.

Do the coastal drive through Marlo, and stop at Cape Conran. By now most of the Xmas Holiday campers have left for home.

Bill,
Have a look at Bellbird Hotel just 38k past Orbost.
Stayed there last year good clean grassed area.
And you can pop into the hotel for a beer or two if you like.
The ones you mentioned are pretty ordinary compared to Bellbird but OK if desperate.
If you can push on as far as Genoa there is a beauty just over the bridge on your left ,on the NSW side, it used to be a caravan park - its not in my CAW 4 book.
Good clean area for about 20 or so vans and there is a toilet block.
Should be quiet as its not right on the highway.

Jeff.
