Change of season brings promise of autumn adventure

As we prepare to bid farewell to a sun-filled summer on the Bellarine Peninsula, we can’t help but feel excited for the crisp charm of autumn. With cooler weather and breathtaking landscapes, autumn on the Bellarine offers the perfect opportunity for campers seeking a peaceful retreat in nature.

Campfires return for a limited time

Autumn brings with it the return of campfires—something we know our campers are eager to enjoy. As part of a three-year trial, you’ll be able to hire a fire pit and purchase timber for use at a limited number of casual campsites at our Portarlington Holiday Park from April 22, 2025, to October 5, 2025, or until the Fire Danger Period is declared. It’s the ideal way to enjoy the cooler evenings, gather around with loved ones, and experience the Bellarine under the stars.

Dog-friendly holidays: bring your furry friends along

Autumn also marks the return of our four-legged friends! We’re thrilled to continue our dog-friendly trial, now in its third year. During quieter months, we’ve set aside a dedicated area of the park where you and your dog can enjoy the beauty of the Bellarine Peninsula together. This trial allows us to explore the possibility of welcoming dogs more broadly in the future, while ensuring our guests who prefer a dog-free experience can still enjoy their stay.

Year-round accommodation options

Our Portarlington Holiday Park is open year-round, offering a variety of accommodation options. Whether you’re looking for the privacy of a self-contained cabin, a powered site for your van or camper, or a cosy cabin for two, we have something for every type of camper. 

Seasonal campsites at Indented Head and St Leonards

If you’re planning an early autumn getaway, our seasonal camp grounds at Indented Head and St Leonards provide beachside, powered camping sites, available until the end of April.

Unwind and enjoy the view

Once you arrive, it’s time to unwind. Enjoy spectacular views of calm waters during the day and the twinkling lights of Melbourne by night. Whether you’re here for a short break or a longer stay, the Bellarine Peninsula is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.
