Marengo Family Caravan Park

The Great Ocean Road is open for visitors, and we’re open too.

Marengo Family Caravan Park is a stunning coastal camping destination on the Great Ocean Road, offering spectacular ocean views and a peaceful seaside setting. Located just 2km from Apollo Bay, the park provides a perfect family holiday base close to town while still enjoying a true beachfront experience.

With full beach frontage, the park sits adjacent to the Marengo Reef Marine Sanctuary, home to a resident seal colony - making it an ideal spot for swimming, snorkelling and diving. Guests can also enjoy the sound of the ocean and the relaxed coastal atmosphere from their campsite or cabin.

Marengo Family Caravan Park is positioned at the start of the Great Ocean Walk, making it an excellent base for exploring the Great Otway National Park and the surrounding rainforest, waterfalls, and coastal trails. Whether you’re planning formal bushwalking adventures or simply relaxing in the park, there’s plenty to see and do.

The park offers a range of facilities to support a comfortable stay, including a children’s playground, camp kitchen, barbecue area, and laundry, ensuring a relaxing and memorable family holiday.

Travelling with your pet? Dog-friendly campsites and cabins are available year-round, making Marengo Family Caravan Park a great choice for pet-friendly holidays along the Great Ocean Road.

When you stay at our Great Ocean Road Parks, your camping fees not only go into maintaining the campground, they are also reinvested back into the magnificent Great Ocean Road coastline in which you are staying. Your fees will go towards maintaining a wide range of public facilities, assets and infrastructure and vital coastal projects that protect and preserve the stunning Great Ocean Road coastline for future generations.
