Situated along the Great Ocean Road, approximately 2 and a half hours from Melbourne, Apollo Bay is an ideal spot for your next holiday. Apollo Bay Recreation Reserve is located just outside of central Apollo Bay, beside the football oval and alongside the Bahram River. There are a variety of spacious, family and dog friendly camping locations, with some located right on the Barham River or along the footy oval. The park is just across the road from the beach.
Clean and basic amenities are available at Apollo Bay Recreation Reserve. Walk into town and explore all Apollo Bay has to offer, or relax in the park, the choice is yours. It's less than 1km to the town centre, cafes and restaurants and 9 hole golf course providing the perfect place to explore the town and surrounds.
A short walk across the Great Ocean Road takes you to the lovely swimming, surfing and fishing beach of Mounts Bay and great river fishing is right on our doorstep.
Don’t leave your furry friend at home, dogs are welcome year-round.
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 other coastal projects.
Bring your Pooch! We love dogs at Apollo Bay Recreation Reserve and just like any other family member, they are welcome all year round. View our Dog and Animal Policy
Campfires are allowed at Apollo Bay Recreation Reserve, please contact park office for campfire guidelines.

Fishing is an important local industry so seafood is often on the menu at the local cafes and restaurants. Take a stroll into Apollo Bay and try a few out. Got a taste for fine seafood? Visit in February for the Apollo Bay Seafood Festival. Weekend visitors will love the regular Saturday foreshore market for local crafts, artworks, and fresh produce. Apollo Bay and the surrounding Otway National Park is a mecca for nature-based activities including some unique experiences such as walking through nearby Melba Gully rainforest at night to check out some Glow Worms. Hike the Great Ocean Walk between Apollo Bay and the Twelve Apostles. Or snorkel or dive Marengo Reefs Marine Sanctuary with resident Seal Colony.
