Wye River Beachfront Campground is a peaceful, seasonal campground offering a true escape along the Great Ocean Road. Perfect for switching off and slowing down, this beachfront camping spot lets you fall asleep to the sound of the waves and wake to fresh sea air and stunning coastal views.
Set between the ocean and the Otway Ranges, Wye River is a picturesque destination for nature lovers. Located right on the beach, the campground is just 20 minutes from Lorne and 35 minutes from Apollo Bay, making it an easy base for exploring the central Great Ocean Road while enjoying a quieter, more relaxed setting.
With only 60 powered sites and 4 unpowered campsites, Wye River Beachfront Campground offers a cosy, low-key camping experience. As a small and popular campground, early bookings are recommended, especially during peak periods.
The campground is conveniently positioned opposite the Wye River General Store and café and within walking distance of the iconic Wye River Hotel, making it easy to pick up essentials or enjoy a relaxed meal without needing to drive.
For those looking to reconnect with nature, the area offers beautiful swimming and surfing beaches, Otway Forest walks, wildlife spotting, fishing, and excellent surf conditions. Whether you’re planning an active outdoor holiday or a laid-back beach escape, Wye River delivers a memorable coastal camping experience.
If you are travelling the Great Ocean Road with your pet, dogs are welcome seasonally on our dog-friendly campsites.
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.

My wife and I stopped here one night on our honeymoon, and we were delighted with the laid back atmosphere. The amenities were immaculate, and we were very pleased that the beach could be reached by a 30 second walk. There is a fair bit of bird life which really adds to the whole get-away experience. There is only one general store in Wye River, so come prepared not to be shopping.
A large park with modern amenities. Much better option than staying in Lorne or the smaller parks in the area which suffer from road noise. We woke one night with a koala in the tree over our van. The nearby coffee shop/cafe/store was a little beauty also.
Absolutely loved this place! Perfect spot to camp, right on the beach, could hear the waves from the tent, so relaxing and so close to Lorne for more fun activities. The site itself is powered and has all amenities to have a great time. We stayed for 5 days but could easily have stayed for a few weeks at least.
Choose to relax, play or explore, it's up to you. Our small, beachside park makes for a memorable stay.
