If you are planning a trip to the Surf Coast, why not make the drive more enjoyable by picking up a caravan on the way? Ezycamper Hire in Geelong is perfectly located for travellers heading from Melbourne or regional Victoria towards Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne, or Apollo Bay. With fully equipped Jayco caravans available for hire, all you need to bring is your bedding and food before you hit the road.
Why Geelong is the ideal pickup point for Surf Coast trips
Geelong is a natural stopping point for anyone travelling to the Surf Coast. Whether you are heading down the Princes Freeway from Melbourne or coming from Ballarat, Western Victoria or even Tasmania, it’s on the way to Torquay and the start of the Great Ocean Road. Picking up your caravan here saves you from towing through city traffic and makes the journey much smoother.
Ezycamper Hire is based in Geelong, making it easy to collect your caravan before continuing your holiday. From here, Torquay is only a 20-minute drive, while Anglesea and Lorne are less than an hour away. By the time you arrive at your caravan park or campsite, you’ll be ready to relax rather than unpack.
Choosing the right Jayco caravan for the Surf Coast
Different trips suit different caravans, which is why Ezycamper Hire offers a range of Jayco models:
- Jayco Expanda – Great for families heading to the Surf Coast. With fold-out beds, there’s extra sleeping space without taking up too much room while towing. Perfect for Torquay or Anglesea where families often stay for several nights.
- Jayco Journey – A versatile option for couples or small groups who want comfort while travelling. This caravan is ideal for longer stays in Lorne or Apollo Bay where you’ll appreciate the kitchen facilities and living space.
- Jayco Freedom – A practical choice for shorter Surf Coast getaways. Easy to tow and set up, making it a good match for weekend breaks.
All caravans come fully equipped with kitchen facilities, seating, and storage. You only need to pack your bedding and food, which keeps preparation simple.
Travel tips for caravan trips on the Surf Coast
The Surf Coast is a popular holiday region, and a little planning goes a long way. Here are some useful tips when travelling with a caravan:
- Book caravan parks early. Spots in Torquay, Anglesea, and Lorne fill quickly, especially in summer and school holidays.
- Check park facilities. Some parks have ensuite sites or direct beach access, which may suit families or longer stays.
- Plan shorter travel times. Once you’ve picked up your caravan in Geelong, the drives to Surf Coast destinations are under an hour, making them manageable even with children in tow.
- Pack for the coast. The weather can change quickly, so bring layers even in summer.
Travelling in a caravan gives you the flexibility to stay longer if you discover a spot you love. It also makes it easier to enjoy local attractions, from surf lessons in Torquay to bushwalks around Anglesea or waterfalls near Lorne.
