Stayed 3 nights, powered site $27.50 p/n with Top Tourist discount. Security entry. Friendly staff – we were given a map and told to pick a site in the pet area out the back. The map included lots and lots of rules, including "Individual washing machines and temporary clotheslines on sites are not permitted". It was too wet to dry clothes outside anyway so I used their dryer ($3.00 for 20 minutes), and washing machines were $4.00 per wash so I used my own. Pets welcome but only in the small pet area right at the back of the park. On first glance this looked like a dismal swampy area, but we arrived in strong wind and rain so that did not make the area look inviting anyway. There was minimum grass with lots of muddy areas, but we coped. A caravan arrived later in the afternoon and left immediately. We later met these people in Peterborough and the man said he felt panic when he saw this area, after driving through the beautiful park. So decided to leave and demanded a refund. I could understand how he felt. You are not allowed to walk the dog in the park itself (on tar road), but can walk them in the dog area and path to the river which at that time was very muddy. The park itself is large, very well maintained with seven amenities blocks (as per the map). I checked out a few of them and they were all very clean and in good condition. There are grassed areas and also bush areas under tea trees. Dump spot provided. There were many cabins throughout the park including vans with attached cabins, which looked as if they were permanent weekend sites or rental cabins. All sites were clean. The park is child friendly with a jumping pillow and playground and swimming pool, all very clean and well maintained. There are 7 undercover coin operated electric bbq's located throughout the park. It was too wet and windy to cook outside so we enjoyed two excellent meals at the golf club. We would return to this park but would prefer not to be in the dog area.

Located in walking distance to the beach and river. Large well maintained park consisting of grassed and bush sites. Small separate section for van travelling with dogs. This section is at the back of the park in a bush setting close to the river and beach walks. A little off putting at first but it was a great spot. Dog not permitted to be walked in the main park area. Good amenities blocks and dumps. Well maintained camp kitchens. Large number of cabins and on-site van with a few permanents. Three pages of rules and regulations including one for dog owners was a bit off putting. Good swimming pool and children area. Good location for week or two.

Manager's name is Errol & Trish Morris. We went down with the tent and would definitely do it again. We had a powered bush camping site surrounded and overhung by ti-trees - very nice. We couldn't find the power at our site so went back to the office, she explained where it was then we discovered our extension lead wasn't long enough - no problem shifting sites (park was only about 15% occupied). Appeared to be heaps of permanent vans (not residents) would be astoundingly busy in peak times. Park also has cabins. Ice, wine and gas available from office as well as kiosk. Spa available, fee payable. Heaps of facilities for kids, new jumping bag and indoor toddlers playroom. Camp kitchen attached to TV room, looked like a brand new cooker, well equipped with washing facilities (cloths etc). Also had a cold storage facility. Wireless internet access plus computer rooms (fee payable). Stacks of tourist info in the office, imagine staff would be very knowledgeable. Very friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was as expected, good value for money ($32 2A per night powered). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, dry change area, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, large sites. Good laundry, good rec room, late checkout allowed (past noon), good camp kitchen, kiosk, disabled facilities, dump point, secure entry. Quiet, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, family/friendly atmosphere, no permanents. Clean UC bbqelectric bbq ($1), congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Excellent playground in good condition. Clean heated pool is shaded, kid-safe pool area, tables and chairs provided. Suitable for a week or more, well maintained park, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Closeness to beach and river - path to beach 5 mins from our site. Management very helpful and friendly. Very pleasant being lulled to sleep in our tent by the sound of the surf! Would definitely come back here again.
Dislikes: The BBQs could do with a sink adjacent and a rubbish bin - we had to pinch a scourer from the camp kitchen to clean the BBQ using bottled water and cart all our rubbish back to the site. Also had to spend $3 to cook our meal as the heat on the hotplate was very patchy.
Local Information: Everything you need in Anglesea, good fish and chips and IGA has everything you would need. This park on beach and river and walking distance to shops and pub. Watch the tides if you're walking to the ocean beach - in the afternoon beach is wide and you have to go out a way to get deep, at nighttime the beach was gone entirely! The lookout above the town has unfortunately been let go to seed but the view is still great.

Manager's name is Fiona & Adrian Davidson. This park is set off the Great Ocean Road and has magnificent views of the coastline. We were offered one of their new ensuite sites, which are worth the few extra dollars, with concrete slab for van and annexe. I checked out the amenity block, it is huge and absolutely spotlessly clean. There is a solar heated swimming pool and the beach is across the road. Town centre is a 5-minute drive or a nice walk along the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful. This park is value for money we paid $33 per night for ensuite site. Visit the lookout above the park (ask staff for directions) it is a short drive and then a 10 minute walk up the hill, worth the effort! Very good management, friendly management, management was helpful.

Stayed 7 days, $145 per week powered site. This is where “Seachange” was filmed. It is a large Council caravan park built around a large sports oval. Various types of accommodation is available, from beach houses (including Laura's), boat house, cabins, park tents and powered sites. Entry is through a boom gate for security, although I wonder what happens when the football season is on, and the boom gates are left open. A large grandstand was being built when we stayed. Reception was very helpful and showed us to our site. They wanted to give us a site with sea views, but our van (21ft internal) was too long for the site available. But we got a good level grassed site not far from the facilities and the BBQ. Grey water is used to water the trees. Facilities are old, basic, and need maintenance, but are clean. There are lots of permanents and weekenders, but all are reasonably maintained. Roads were dirt, so threw up some dust. Area around Barwon Heads very pretty and lots to explore. Diver Dan's restaurant still in existence, although extended and renovated, and we had an excellent meal there. And Laura's hut looks spruced up. The bridge is still under repair (as was in the series). Would stay here again for any length of time.

The park is back to nature, it is more of your basic park but offers so much more. The owners are extremely friendly and couldn't be more helpful. Gum trees in the park are frequented by Koalas and Kookaburras. Have access to horse riding facilities, for that something different, through the national parks and along the secluded beaches. The beaches in this area are beautiful. Very friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($36.00 2A 2C) Inadequate number of amenities, are close to all sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, hot water was usually adequate but not when busy, paper towels/dryer provided. Adequate number of tourist sites, some level sites, good night lighting, average sized sites. Good laundry, no rec room. Peaceful, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, family/friendly atmosphere. No pets allowed. Basic playground in average condition. No pool.
Likes: The park is in a natural setting appropriate for the area. It has an outdoor theatre, with wooden plank seating but you can take your own seating. The kids loved it. The horse riding was good fun, enjoyed by the whole family.
Dislikes: The bathrooms need to be upgraded, the septic was blocking a lot. There was no taps or sullage at the individual sites.
Added Touches: The outdoor theatre shows movies twice a week, has a small kiosk. Great Fun.
Local Information: Horse riding was a treat. Visiting Maits Rest rainforest walk at night, if you go at night with torches and turn them off, you can see glow worms under the trees, so pretty and different to see. Went to see the lighthouse but on arrival found we had to pay $11.00 adults and $8.00 Children, thought this was expensive. Great 4wd tracks in the area, and access to secluded beaches.

Close to start of Great Ocean Road, Queenscliff, Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove etc. Good shopping centres approx 4 kms from park.

Appears to be a combination of two parks - Southside and Riverglen, so watch out for either sign. Friendly reception, layout explained, told to choose any site. Tourist sites mainly at one end of park with own amenity block, rest of park permanents. Roads gravel, no guttering. En suite sites with pads, powered sites with pads and some drive through sites with no pads. Latter are grassed but rather rough and worn and fairly narrow, making annexe or awning difficult. Water and sullage to sites, reasonably good shade. Amenities very good, clean and well maintained. Showers excellent, with curtains separating dressing area and shower heads pointing away from curtain. Good hot water. Hand dryers, mop supplied but no soap. Camp kitchen, BBQ (free), children's playground, no pool. Good mobile phone reception but we found TV reception surprisingly very poor for Victoria's second largest city; possibly need very tall antenna. Not well lit at night. Some minor road noise early in morning but generally very quiet. Reasonable value at $24 for 2A before FPA discount.
Likes: Handy location; CBD 10 minutes drive, Coles/Kmart shopping mall five minutes drive. Very good amenities.

As far as facilities go, this park is basic in that sites are non-powered, there is no recreation room and a small playground facility. However the bonus of big sites, magnificent views, friendly staff and a great oval for the kids, outweighs this.

Parking: Wasn't necessary as site was available as soon as we arrived.
Added Touches: Fire bins were available free of charge. (Additional charges for wood) This facility was very popular for toasting marshmallows at night. The size of sites was a great bonus. We were able to fit a fairly large caravan, annexe, car and porta shade on site with extra room left over!!!
Local Information: Lorne is a beautiful town with lots of activities and attractions. Of great interest was the free coastal education, which included activities such as rock pool rambles and fishing lessons for the kids.

On arrival you are given a map of park and your site is circled on that. Small office, staff not friendly very business like, no smiles or warm welcomes, however the park is so nice you get over it quick! First thing you notice is the large clean pool but beware of wooden picnic tables if you sit on seat at edge they topple. Games room is well stocked with electronic pay games, air hockey table and pool table, table tennis - you have to buy ball. There is also a large indoor spa for hire $10 for half an hour, clean and private. Shower toilet not totally clean right across corridor. Coke machine outside rec room. Kids playground is of wooden variety, small. A basketball hoop outside rec room, provide your own ball and have plenty of gold coins as they shut office regularly and hard to get change! Tennis court for hire 1hr for $10 I think they where clean and well kept, take your own racquets and balls. BBQ area near tennis court. We have a caravan and do stay in it most of the time but we choose to stay in a cabin a couple of times. Cabins varies we choose a family one first time we stayed good value at $119.00 a night for 2A, 2C. Next stay we took cabin offer of $199.00 for 3 nights and got small ant ridden cabin, not happy as our friends paid $60.00 upgrade and got a really big cabin with washing machine and balcony! I did not complain to manager as I would have to move all our gear. Caravan sites are level road sealed and tidy. We mainly have to drive to beach and town you could walk 10 mins or so.

Report submitted by P & E, Aberfoyle Park.

Run by National Parks. Polite reception, directed to any site we chose as it was not a busy time. Roads mainly gravel, some guttered. Sites generally small, well grassed, no annexe pads, not all have taps, few had sullage. Size was no problem as we were able to occupy two sites with 23 ft van. Some sites have windbreaks between then, but in any case park was reasonably protected from the strong winds by its location. Two minute stroll to shops and beach. Two amenity blocks, one closed in off peak season, some sites long way from the other. Amenities old but refurbished and very clean and neat. Good hot water, shower cubicles well designed with protected changing area, mop supplied, hand dryers but no soap. Toilet dump point at amenities. Camp kitchen, BBQ and TV room, no pool. Poorly lit at night. $25 for 2A reasonable value. Would stay again.
Date: 11/2006. Park Rating: 3. Suitable overnight or longer stay.
Report submitted by The Peripatetic Perrys.

Average size sites, that do not have a tap to every site. One tap per four sites. Dirt roads that were very muddy and full of potholes filled with water. Amenities were a fair distance from most sites. Decided not to stay here after inspecting the site. You would have got very muddy walking along the dirt road, dodging puddles to reach the amenities. They refunded our money no questions asked. We also felt that $36 for 2A 2C was very expensive for what you got.

Good management. Reasonable value for money. Laundry, good camp kitchen. Good atmosphere to park. UC bbq. Suitable for a week or more, the park was well maintained.
Likes: Good shade; good borders between sites with shrubs/trees; nice grassy sites.
Dislikes: I thought there was not enough night lighting - it was quite dark walking to the amenities block. Most sites are too small. Enough room for van & annexe but only just fit your car. Most cars are parked right next to the road. Would be difficult to back your van in when park reasonably full as road areas are too narrow. Amenities are OK however water temp goes from hot to cold many times. My wife complained her showers were only just warm.

Report submitted by Happy Caravanners.

This is an enormous park with over 400 sites. It is spread around the sports ground. When we visited in May most of it was closed off. The section that was open was beautifully grassed and we could pick our site. The place would be pretty frantic in January but we found it to be an ideal place to base ourselves while visiting this interesting, attractive town and surrounds. There is a small but well stocked shop over the road and it is a 100m walk to the beach. Good, friendly management Good value for money. There were 2 amenities blocks at each end. The one we used (near the river) was new, clean and very modern. Inexplicably there was no soap available in these, otherwise, excellent facilities. Good amenities, adequate number to cater for tourists, close to sites, were clean, were in good condition, water pressure was okay, there was adequate hot water. Good sites, adequate number of tourist sites, sites were level, the site size was okay, drive-through sites were available. There is a great little campers kitchen with 2 clean BBQs inside. Open and roomy park, shady park, family-friendly park. Clean UC bbq (free), with a congenial atmosphere, lit at night, with seating provided. Suitable for a week or more.
Likes: Clean, friendly and open park. Could pick a site at the time of our visit.
Dislikes: No soap in the amenities.

We found the park in good condition, albeit not at the height of the tourist season. Friendly reception from manager Ken, roads sealed and guttered, sites generally level and well grassed, although no annexe pads, reasonable shade on many. Water to most but not sullage. Two amenities blocks in off-season area of park, adequate for numbers at the time. Good hot water, showers well designed with completely separate changing area in each cubicle to avoid wet floors, no curtains but mop supplied. Hand dryers but no soap. Quiet, some parts poorly lit at night. Good mobile phone reception, but we found terrible TV reception for some reason. Would definitely stay again. $26 for 2A before Family Parks discount reasonable value.

Report submitted by Shayne Doyle, Kyneton Vic.

Very neat and well maintained park, with friendly reception. Most sites very well grassed and backed by hedges of shrubs, giving some privacy, water and sullage to most, no annexe pads. Roads sealed and kerbed, sites roomy but some lacking in depth for long vans. Two amenity blocks, separate laundry, separate small toilet block. Both amenities very clean and well maintained, should be adequate except for high peak. However no soap (both), hand drying or mops (one) supplied. Good hot water pressure. In the amenities block near us the men's showers were badly designed: no curtain or divider, the shower head in the side wall half way along cubicle, and no bench, with the result that no dry area was available for dressing. Children's playground, picnic shelter with free BBQ, no pool. Kiosk on site, main street shops ten minutes walk away. Excellent TV and mobile phone reception. Good value at $20.65 for 2A (Senior's rate)
Likes: Convenient location close to town and attractions.

Probably one of the prettiest sites we have stayed at - beautiful setting in a valley opposite the beach Some enormous sites with plenty of grass all around, but beware many powered sites do not have individual water and none have sullage. However park will provide long hoses to fill up tanks if needed. Shower and toilet facilities hopelessly inadequate during peak periods but good condition non the less. Average but friendly management. Reasonable value for money. Good amenities, average sites, adequate number of tourist sites, sites were level, the site size was okay, poor water quality.

Likes: Beautiful setting, large sites, grass, security entry.
