Apollo Bay Holiday Park – Your Seaside Escape on the Great Ocean Road

Experience the perfect coastal getaway at Apollo Bay Holiday Park, your tranquil base for exploring the breathtaking Great Ocean Road. Our park is situated just a short stroll from the pristine Apollo Bay beach and the vibrant town centre, placing you at the heart of all the action. Whether you’re a couple looking for a romantic retreat or a family on a fun-filled adventure, our park provides a friendly and relaxed atmosphere to ensure a memorable holiday.

We offer a wide range of accommodation to suit every traveller’s needs. Choose from our spacious powered and unpowered sites, ideal for caravans, motorhomes, and tents. For those who prefer the comforts of home, we also have a selection of modern, self-contained cabins with free Wi-Fi and well-appointed amenities. Our park facilities are designed to make your stay comfortable and convenient, including a clean and accessible amenities block, a fully equipped camp kitchen with BBQ areas, and a laundry with coin-operated machines. Guests can also enjoy the outdoor swimming pool and free on-site parking.

Apollo Bay is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The park is an excellent starting point for the famous Great Ocean Walk. You can spend your days exploring the majestic Otway Ranges, with its lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and incredible wildlife. Go in search of native koalas at nearby Kennett River, or take a refreshing swim in the ocean. Fishing is a popular local pastime, with great opportunities for deep-sea fishing, or simply casting a line off the harbour wall for snapper, whiting, and squid. For something more relaxing, wander through the town’s galleries, boutiques, and cafes, or visit the weekend markets for local produce and crafts.

Our park is committed to providing a peaceful environment for all guests, and as a result, **we do not permit pets on-site** (with the exception of medically certified service animals). We pride ourselves on maintaining a safe and clean park, and our friendly staff are always on hand to assist with your travel plans and any questions you may have. With its stunning coastal scenery and a wealth of activities, Apollo Bay Holiday Park is the perfect place to unwind and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Great Ocean Road. We look forward to welcoming you to our piece of paradise by the sea.
