Apollo Bay Campgrounds Reviews and Rates

Beautiful town of Apollo Bay

This morning we decided to pull out of Cumberland River and move camp to Apollo Bay. Weather inclement, no internet signal. To top that off, $30 per night for an unpowered site. Nup that was crazy.

8.30 departure and Sharon at the wheel for her usual first drive, it was drizzling as we set off along the spectacular Great Ocean Road.
