Title: Great Alpine Road in Summer
Post by: eaglemini on September 22, 2015, 10:35:18 PM: G'day,

myself and the family want to travel from Wangarratta down to Lakes Entrance late December. We have a Prado 150 series and will be towing our new Jayco Swan Outback. Having trouble finding parks with places left (powered sites). Any members travelled this before and have any knowledge of good spots to stay? Plan on doing it over 4-5 days.

cheers,

Nathan

Also heading back to SA/NT along the coast - doing my head in trying to find somewhere near Wilsons Promontory. All either full or require minimum stays. $450 for a powered site for five nights seems a bit steep. Supply and demand I guess

Yep, good luck, most of that area is booked out a year in advance and also has a high % of people who book the same site year after year.

It's not such a long drive from there to Lakes anyway, but it would be a shame not to spend some time up the top that time of year. There's a great free camp before Omeo but no power of course.
