Parker Hill Campingground

Parker Hill Campground is a small, quiet camping area in Great Otway National Park, Victoria, situated on a forested hilltop overlooking the beach and the Parker River estuary near Cape Otway.

The campground offers 20 unpowered sites shaded by stringybark forest, with native wildlife — including koalas and wallabies — frequently visiting. Advance bookings are required year-round.

The site sits along the Great Ocean Walk route between Apollo Bay and the Twelve Apostles, making it popular with multi-day hikers. Beach access is a short walk downhill, and the Parker River estuary is visible below.

Activities in the area include fishing, swimming, and exploring nearby coastal trails such as the Parker Hill and Inlet circuit.
