Stay With Us for Free Camping
Looking for a friendly spot to rest your head on the Limestone Coast? We offer free camping right here at The Bellum Hotel for everyone passing through. There’s no need to worry about booking online because we don’t take reservations that way—our spots are first in-best dressed. Just pull up, head inside to the front bar, and let us know you’re here and we can give you all the details for your stay.
While you’re here, make sure to say hello to Normie; he’s been a patron of The Bellum for 67 years and loves chatting to all the new faces.
We are perfectly positioned just ten minutes from Mount Gambier, making us a great base for hiking the rim of Mount Schank or taking a dip in the waters of The Little Blue sinkhole, or taking off down to the coast.
We’re proud to be a favourite on WikiCamps and invite you to kick back and enjoy our country hospitality. You don’t have to use the website at all, so feel free to give us a ring or just roll in whenever you arrive. We can’t wait to meet you!

View of Mount Schank Volcano – an ancient volcanic cone rising from the landscape just south of Mount Gambier. From The Bellum Hotel you can enjoy close-up views, walking trails around the base and easy access to explore this unique part of the Limestone Coast.



The Little Blue – a stunning volcanic sinkhole filled from deep underground aquifers, just minutes from The Bellum Hotel. It’s a favourite local spot for sightseeing and photos, and a great way to experience the unique geology of the Limestone Coast.
