NRMA Port Campbell Holiday Park: Heart of the Shipwreck Coast

Positioned on the world-renowned Great Ocean Road, NRMA Port Campbell Holiday Park is your ultimate basecamp for exploring the dramatic beauty of the Shipwreck Coast. Nestled in a quiet, grassy spot on the banks of Campbells Creek, our park is a brilliant destination in its own right and the perfect pit stop on an iconic road trip. We are just a 10-minute drive from the majestic 12 Apostles, placing you at the epicentre of Victoria’s most breathtaking coastal scenery. The park offers a serene and spacious environment, just steps away from the sheltered Port Campbell foreshore and the town’s vibrant seaside village.Our park is cleverly arranged around a bend in the creek, creating a wonderful sense of peace and space. We cater to all travellers with a wide range of accommodation, from modern two-bedroom creekside villas with private BBQs to comfortable cabins and spacious powered sites, many with direct water views. The park is an ideal location for families, with a TV and games room, a nearby playground and skate park, and free kids’ activities during school holidays. Anglers will love the excellent fishing in Campbells Creek and the harbour, while adventurers can explore the rugged coastline, discovering world-famous landmarks like Loch Ard Gorge, The Grotto, and London Bridge. After a day of sightseeing, stroll into town to enjoy fresh local seafood at a beachside cafe or a craft beer at a local bar. For a holiday that combines natural wonder with comfort and convenience, NRMA Port Campbell Holiday Park is the perfect choice.
