Melbourne to the Mornington Peninsula by Campervan

Quick summary: Most Melbourne campervan and motorhome depots sit in the northern suburbs, some close to Melbourne Airport, and a few suppliers offer a free shuttle from the airport. From there, the drive to the Mornington Peninsula heads south-east via the freeways, avoiding the CBD where possible. Some Melbourne motorways are tolled, and inner-city streets have trams, so plan your route before setting off and allow extra time in peak traffic.

How does depot pickup work?

Check the depot details when you book; some suppliers collect you from the airport. Bring your rental agreement and licence, and the staff will walk you through the vehicle.

Should you avoid central Melbourne?

Yes, if possible. Trams, narrow streets and limited parking make the CBD hard work in a large vehicle.

Which RV route from Melbourne reaches the peninsula best?

Use the freeways south-east of the city, then the peninsula’s main roads towards Mornington, Red Hill and Sorrento. Ask your supplier how tolls are handled.

Where can you stop on the way?

The Dandenong Ranges lie east of the route. See Brighton and Puffing Billy tours and gardens tours.
