Apollo Bay Holiday Park, Your Gateway to the Great Ocean Road & Otways

Nestled in the heart of one of Victoria’s most beloved coastal towns, the Apollo Bay Holiday Park offers the ultimate location for an unforgettable Great Ocean Road adventure. This welcoming park is perfectly positioned just a short, flat walk from the stunning Apollo Bay foreshore, the town’s vibrant cafes, and boutique shops. It serves as an ideal base camp for every type of traveller, from families seeking a classic beach holiday to adventurers eager to explore the lush rainforests of the Great Otway National Park. With a range of accommodation options including spacious powered and unpowered sites for caravans and tents, as well as comfortable, self-contained cabins, the park caters to all needs and budgets. The relaxed, leafy environment provides a tranquil retreat after a day of exploration.

The park’s appeal is magnified by its comprehensive and well-maintained facilities. Guests can enjoy the convenience of modern amenity blocks, a fully equipped camp kitchen, and communal BBQ areas perfect for cooking up a freshly caught fish. For families, the adventure playground and games room are a hit with the kids, allowing parents to unwind. The park provides all the essentials for a comfortable stay, including potable water, a guest laundry, and a dump point for RVs. Its central location not only provides easy access to the beach for swimming, surfing, and fishing but also places you on the doorstep of world-class attractions. Take a short drive to the awe-inspiring Twelve Apostles, wander through ancient fern gullies to waterfalls in the Otways, or climb Mariners Lookout for breathtaking panoramic views of the coast. With excellent mobile coverage, you can easily plan your daily excursions or share photos of your stunning surroundings. The Apollo Bay Holiday Park is more than a place to stay—it’s the heart of your coastal and rainforest experience.
