How to book camping online

These steps and our simple video tutorial will make it easy to book your next camping getaway.

Step 1: Navigate to the Parks Victoria website

To get started, click on ‘Where to stay’ in the top navigation bar, then click ‘Book your stay’. You can also get there directly at bookings.parks.vic.gov.au.

Step 2: Enter your booking information

If you know your dates, you can enter them and the number of guests for your planned trip on the top left-hand side of the screen to see all available sites.

You can enter the name of the campground if you have a specific one in mind e.g. Blanket Bay and press enter.

Or you can click on the filters button to narrow down the search for the type of campground or accommodation you would like to stay in. You can filter your search by park (Great Otway National Park, Grampians National Park, etc) what you are staying in (a tent, caravan, accommodation, etc) – as well as by how you access the location (2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, etc), and by the features the location offers such as toilets, campfires or dogs permitted.

Step 3: View available campgrounds

Once you have made your filter selections, click 'show results' to see available campgrounds.

Step 4: Select your location and campsite

Select your location, by browsing the list provided, or using the searchable map. Press on the ‘Book From’ button for your chosen location.

You can browse the list of specific campsites at your chosen location. If there is no availability, try changing your dates or location.

Click on the ‘Book Now’ button on the campsite you would like to book.

At some campgrounds, known as camping areas, you can’t book or reserve individual sites in advance – they are selected upon arrival. Click on ‘Book Now’.

Step 5: Sign In or complete your details

If you’ve already booked before you can click Sign-in and follow the instructions.

If not, click Skip and Continue.

You will be asked some simple questions (that are mandatory) to help us with your booking.

Enter the details requested and click ‘Buy Now’. Alternatively, you can select ‘Add Item to Cart’ if you would like to book at multiple campgrounds in the same transaction.

Step 6: Finalise your booking

Enter your personal and payment details and click ‘Finalise my Booking’. You will receive a confirmation email within 24 hours after booking. Please also check your spam/junk folder if not received.

If you have further questions, see the Booking Information page on our website.

If you need further assistance to make a booking, call Parks Victoria on 13 1963. We expect a high volume of calls, so you may experience a longer time on-hold than usual.

Have a safe stay and enjoy your time in nature.
