Better Experience, Better Value!
We deliver an awesome, adventure-packed experience for our campers, which is also great value for money for you.
Our mission is to provide groups with a fun, happy and safe experience when they stay with us for any amount of time. We pride ourselves on our hospitality with excellent accommodation facilities, well maintained gardens, varied indoor spaces and perhaps most importantly, amazing food!
Don Bosco Camp and Centre is well-placed on the Mornington Peninsula; it is in close proximity to the Peninsula Link freeway, which translates to ease of access for anyone coming to us from anywhere around Melbourne.
As a not for profit organisation we aim to provide groups with an affordable experience that tailors to your specific needs.

75th Anniversary
Celebrating 75 Years of Camping at Don Bosco
1945-2020
This year Don Bosco Camp & Centre is proudly celebrating 75 years of working with young people. Our mission has been and continues to support those young people who are marginalised and disadvantaged.
We are planning to celebrate this huge milestone with a celebration later on in 2021 due to the current pandemic and we would like those people who have had a connection with the place to help us celebrate this milestone.
We will be sending out invitations via email and mail so, if you or anyone you know has been involved in the Don Bosco Camp at Safety Beach over the last 75 years, we would love to hear from you!
