Quick Overview
Robe has several caravan dump stations in the area, with some providing free access to caravanners and motorhome travellers visiting the Limestone Coast. This historic fishing village on South Australia's Limestone Coast is a favourite stop for caravanners travelling the popular Great Southern touring route between Melbourne and Adelaide via the coast. Sitting about 340 km southeast of Adelaide, Robe draws a steady stream of motorhomes and caravans year-round, peaking during summer and Easter when the town's population swells dramatically with holidaymakers from across the region. The local dump point facilities serve the touring community well, with both council-run dump points and caravan park options available for visiting travellers. The sanitary dump point access is easy to find in a town this compact -- everything is within a short drive of the main street and the beautiful coastal strip that defines Robe. Robe punches well above its weight as a tourist destination -- beautiful beaches stretching for kilometres along the southern coast, excellent southern rock lobster straight from the local fishing boats, and a laid-back coastal vibe that keeps caravanners coming back season after season for repeat visits. The town's heritage streetscape and boutique shops add considerably to the appeal, making it much more than just a drive-through stop on the coastal route between the two capital cities. For Caravan travellers working their way along the coast between Adelaide and the Great Ocean Road, Robe is a natural multi-day stop where you can relax, explore the heritage sites, and sort out your rig at well-maintained facilities.

Robe is accessible via the Riddoch Highway (A66) from the Princes Highway, about 340 km southeast of Adelaide. From Melbourne, it's roughly 450 km via the Western Highway and Princes Highway through Mount Gambier.

Rest areas along the Princes Highway between Mount Gambier and Adelaide are well-spaced for overnight stops.

Explore the Robe Area
Robe's dump stations are quiet outside the summer and Easter peak periods -- pull in whenever suits you most of the year. During January though, the town's population swells dramatically and all facilities get more traffic. Book your caravan park early if you're visiting over Christmas-New Year. The crayfish here is legendary -- grab some fresh from the fisherman's cooperative near the jetty for a meal you won't forget. Long Beach is stunning and stretches for kilometres, perfect for a morning walk before hitting the road. Fresh water in Robe is fine for tank fills. If you need caravan supplies beyond the basics, you'll need to head to Mount Gambier (about 140 km south) where there's a BCF and Supercheap Auto. The local pub, the Caledonian Inn, has been serving travellers since 1858 and does quality meals.
