Otways Tourist Park is situated on 3.2 ha of landscaped parkland, located at the foot of the OTWAY RANGES, in the middle of the rural township of Gellibrand. We offer an alternative to the hustle and bustle of a sea-side resort town, yet we are only a 40 minute drive away from The Great Ocean Road and beaches.
We are within 20 minutes of the OTWAY FLY TREETOP WALK and within a 30 minute drive from TURTONS TRACK TOURIST DRIVE and some of the most SPECTACULAR WATERFALLS and SCENIC DRIVES in the OTWAYS. Lavers Hill and Melba Gully, known as "The Jewel of the Otways" are only 30 kms away. Here you can enjoy Rainforest walks as well as see the Glow Worms at night.

Here at the Otways Tourist Park we have some truly wonderful guests and local residents who continue to support our fund raising efforts for the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation. Through Raffles, with gifts kindly donated; and generous ticket purchases, and the Sunday Big Breakfast, with donations from local businesses and the kitchen staff donating their time, we have raised $17,957.55 so far in just 5 years!
As our winter special draws to a close each year, why not take advantage of one of the last weekends left and also help with a wonderful fundraising event for a fantastic cause. Get a group of your girlfriends together and join me for my Girls' Night In at the Otways Tourists Park Bistro between 6-8pm where food and drink will be served and fun will be had, we will be waited on Shane and Corrie.

Stayed at Otway Tourist Park on the weekend of 11-12th December 2021
We had an en-suite site, which was clean and tidy. All sites are large and grassed with the option of several sites with concrete pads.
The staff at the park are friendly and very helpful should you require help or advice. We had two meals at the bistro, and our party of six all were satisfied with the quality of meals. We did notice a steady flow of customers coming to pick up takeaway meals to take back to their sites.
It was our first visit to the park and we booked in for another visit when we were checking out.

Was not impressed this time and we love coming here. We were placed on a site that was surrounded by water and got told they were having trouble with blocked guttering. No joke 3 places next to us were free and not full of water. Were going to stay 3 nights but decided to only have two. Its is a gorgeous spot and beautiful meal from kitchen just disappointed with how much water was near our site. Maybe have a look before people arrive when its wet or fix the pipes.

Love this place. Have been here 4 or 5 times now. Plenty of open spaces, powered and unpowered. Lots of trees. Their bistro serves amazing food and they even cater for vegetarians/vegans. The prices are reasonable and the servings are huge! Great cafe/shop across the road where you can get brekky, etc or just a coffee. There's a great playground for the kids just outside of the park but plenty of room to ride bikes in the park too. Heaps of birds and at night you may even hear a deer barking. The bathroom facilities aren't new as such but are always super clean. Showers are metered, $1 for 6 minutes

Fantastic little park. Great facilities with helpful friendly service. Lovely powered and unpowered sites with comfortable ensuites. They also have cabins which are quite nice, clean and have everything you need. There is a playground, pool and ample grass for kids. The atmosphere here is family friendly and very peaceful. For a hot summer week that says a great deal about a place.
