Caravan Dump Points In Anglesea, Victoria
38.4073° S, 144.1859° E
Quick Overview
Anglesea has several RV dump stations, with some free options available. Both are located at caravan parks along the Great Ocean Road, so you'll need to factor in park entry or overnight stay fees.
This coastal town sits right on the B100 (Great Ocean Road), about 100km southwest of Melbourne and 30km from Geelong. It's a popular stop for RVers tackling Australia's most famous coastal drive, with plenty of grey nomads and families rolling through during summer and school holidays.
You're looking at caravan park sanitary dump stations here -- no public sani-dumps or servo-based options. Both BIG4 Anglesea Holiday Park and Anglesea Beachfront Family Caravan Park offer RV waste disposal facilities for guests and travelers passing through. The stations handle black water and grey water tanks, though you'll want to check ahead about guest-only policies during peak season.
The Great Ocean Road is RV-friendly but demands respect. Tight curves, narrow sections, and 60-80km/h speed limits mean you'll need patience with your rig. Most caravans handle it fine, but larger motorhomes should scout the route beforehand. The M1 Princes Freeway is your fast inland alternative, accessed via Anglesea Road about 15km north.

The Great Ocean Road (B100) runs right through Anglesea, connecting Torquay to the east and Lorne to the west. It's a stunning drive but not a highway -- expect winding coastal sections, occasional tight turns, and slower speeds. Most caravans and Class C rigs handle it without drama, but big Class A motorhomes might find some stretches tight. Overtaking lanes pop up here and there.
For faster travel, take Anglesea Road north 15km to the M1 Princes Freeway, which connects Melbourne (100km northeast) to Adelaide. The M1 is proper freeway with wide lanes and no RV restrictions. From Melbourne, you'll take the Geelong Ring Road to save time.
Overnight parking isn't happening here. Surf Coast Shire bylaws restrict roadside camping, so you'll need a caravan park. No Walmart-style options exist in regional Victoria anyway. LPG refills are available at local fuel stations in town.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials
Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Anglesea, Victoria, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.
Check your RV insurance coverage
A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.
Know your roadside assistance options
RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.
Decide about an extended warranty early
Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.
Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees
A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Anglesea
Of the several stations in Anglesea, some (a portion%) are free, while a portion% charge a fee. Both dump stations are at caravan parks, so access typically requires either an overnight stay or a dump-only fee.
Dump-only fees at Victorian caravan parks usually run $10-20, though some parks restrict access to guests only during busy periods. If you're staying overnight, dumping is included in your site fee (which starts around $50-70 for powered sites in Anglesea during shoulder season, significantly more in summer).
There's no way around it -- dumping on the Great Ocean Road costs money. No free public sanidumps exist between Geelong and Apollo Bay. Budget accordingly. If you're doing a multi-day Great Ocean Road trip, plan your dumps strategically at towns where you're already staying to avoid paying twice.

Explore the Anglesea Area
Book ahead for December and January -- summer holidays fill every caravan park for months. Easter weekend is equally packed. If you're dumping without staying overnight, call first to confirm they'll let you use the station during peak times.
The Anglesea Golf Club is worth a stop even if you don't play. Hundreds of wild kangaroos graze on the fairway, and you can walk around outside play hours for free. It's genuinely impressive.
Fill your fresh water tanks before heading west on the Great Ocean Road. Services get sparser past Lorne. Geelong (30km east) has better options for RV repairs and parts if something breaks -- local mechanics are limited.
Propane and diesel are available in town, but prices run higher than Melbourne. Top up before you leave the city if you're watching costs. The BIG4 park has an indoor pool complex that's clutch on rainy days if you're traveling with kids.
