Burnside Camp is a campsite of the Uniting Church in Australia leased by the Baptist Union of Victoria under the management of the Camp Wilkin Baptist Centre.
The Camp is on the Surf Coast near the ocean beaches and holiday resort of Anglesea on the Great Ocean Road about 113km or one and a half hours south west from Melbourne.
Peter and Marianne (Pruckner) Caulfield are the site Co-ordinators and will welcome you to the site and work with you to make your stay the best that it can be.
Set in four hectares of beautiful bush land on Ellimatta Road on the Melbourne side of Anglesea, it is within walking distance of beaches and recreation facilities and the comprehensive Anglesea
shopping centre.
We provide worthwhile educational facilities and program ideas, which take in the beaches and the local bush with its flora and fauna which can cater for both summer and winter programs.
