Me and the misses have a bit of time of work in April and are planning to do the great ocean road in April. We are looking at doing a dirt cheap holiday, hopefully staying in tent sites at caravan parks with our two person swag in the back of her station wagon.
We have five spare days so far the itinerary is:
Saturday- Cudlee Creek-Robe (3hr 45min)
Sunday- Robe- Port Fairy/Warrnambool (3hr 11min)
Monday- Port Fairy- Lorne (2hr 30min)
Tues- Lorne- Mount Gambier (4hr)
Wed- Mt Gambier- Cudlee Creek (4hr)
Should we pre book all our camp sites or just rock up on the day?
Will see much of the good stuff using that itinerary?
Any other tips and advice?

Also enjoyed seeing the 'Round the Twist' lighthouse. The majority of the stops/lookouts along the way were great. We were there over xmas/ny, so the bigger towns were insanely busy so didn't explore them too much.

Don't go by those times, always allow yourself extra travelling time as there are long stretches without overtaking and you can get stuck behind foreign tourists or caravans doing 40km/h for long periods. We did it again in January and got stuck behind traffic for over an hour in some stretches.
Definately check out the 12 Apostles whilst the remaining few still survive and there are also plenty of coves and shipwrecks along that stretch just out of Port Campbell. There is a great little caravan park at Peterborough that is really cheap and has awesome free facilities such as BBQ's, kitchen and games room aswell as a playground that is good for kids. Right next door to a pretty nice pub that does good feeds.
