Peak Season Bookings 2026 opening Soon !

Bookings for the Summer peak will be available to book online from:

9am on Saturday July 4th 2026

Applicable dates are as follows:

  • Summer Peak -December 26th  Boxing Day – January 31, including Australia Day long weekend. 

As there will be high demand for these bookings, there are a couple of points to consider:

  • To book a campsite, equipment details including Length and Type must be entered.
  • When you press the Book Now button a Booking Hold timer will display, holding a site for you, for 5 minutes + 1 extension. (Total 10min). This will give you time to select a site, fill guest details and payment information, without having to worry about someone else getting in ahead. If the timer expires you can continue with your booking without the guarantee of availability, or you can restart the booking process.
    • Securing more than two sites in a single name in this periods will result in ALL bookings in that name being cancelled and the applicable cancellation fees being charged.  This is being done to prevent multiple sites being tied up by one person, preventing access to these sites during the release rush.
      • Sites “swap and cancel” amongst friends and family members are not allowed. So please do not have family members book a backup on your behalf in case you miss out, with a view to only keeping the “best” site. This unfairly ties up sites during the release rush.
      • Maximum Stay on one site is 6 weeks. Any abutting bookings that extend beyond the peak periods will be clipped to this maximum length.

      Sites are numbered 1 through 132.

      Site 37 is our bungalow. During Summer peak, the bungalows can only be booked for 7 days, Saturday to Saturday. (26 Dec is a Saturday this year)

      Please review our Booking FAQ to see more information and to download a detailed guide on how to book.

      Good luck with your Bookings.

      Land Boundaries – A Quick Check

      FORESHORE RESERVE BOUNDARIES

      Dear Neighbours,

      We’re getting in touch to help make sure you know where the Walkerville Foreshore Reserve boundaries are and why it’s important to check them before doing any work near the coast.

      With homes, tracks and vegetation so close together, it isn’t always obvious where private land ends and the foreshore reserve begins. These boundaries matter because the Foreshore is protected land, and even small changes can affect fragile coastal vegetation, wildlife habitat and dune stability.

      Before clearing vegetation, mowing, landscaping, storing materials, or carrying out any work near the coast, please take a moment to check the foreshore reserve boundaries.

      Boundary maps are available at here.

      The Walkerville Foreshore Committee manages Crown land in the Walkerville Foreshore Reserve on behalf of the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA).

      How you can help

      For some simple tips to help protect our special coastline and its biodiversity, follow the Quick Links below.

      And finally…

      lf you’re ever unsure about boundaries or what’s appropriate within the reserve, please get in touch. We are always happy to help.

      Thank you for helping care for the Walkerville Foreshore.
      Warm regards,

      Walkerville Foreshore Committee of Management

      Walkerville South Ramp Closed to recreational vehicles – Easter 2026 – 3rd April thru 6th April 2026

      Bollards

      The Walkerville South beach will be closed to recreational vehicles to reduce the risk to beach users during the four day period over the Easter Long Weekend (Friday April 3- Monday April 6 inclusive). Bollards will be installed on the beach access ramp.

      Recreational vehicles – what does this mean?
      The term recreational vehicle relates to motorized leisure vehicles on the beach. This includes cars (with or without trailers), trucks or utes. Kayaks may still be launched on the beach and other small water craft that don’t require a vehicle to launch them.

      Walkerville North
      Off the beach launching will still be available nearby at Walkerville North where there are upgraded road, car parking, sea wall and recreational facilities. There is potential car and trailer parking available for up to 37 cars with trailers at Walkerville North.

      Vehicles can only be driven onto the beach at Walkerville North for the purpose of launching or retrieving a boat, and cannot be parked on the beach or driven to other parts of the beach.

      Sincerely,

      Walkerville Foreshore Reserve Committee of Management

        MELB CUP Bookings open this Saturday!

        Bookings for the Melbourne Cup Long Weekend 2025 will be available to book online from 9am , Saturday June 7th 2025

        Applicable dates are as follows:
        Fri Oct 31st – Mon Nov 3rd (4 night minimum).

        As there will be high demand for these bookings, there are a few points to consider:
        To book a campsite, equipment details including Length and Type must be entered.
        Securing more than two sites in a single name by using several booking sessions will result in ALL bookings in that name being cancelled and the applicable cancellation fees being charged. This is being done to prevent multiple sites being tied up by one person, preventing access to these sites during the release rush.

        If your main objective is to get any site rather than a specific site you can skip Site Selection by pressing “Next Step” instead “Select Site from Map”. This is the fastest way to book as the system assigns the next available site. The site assigned will show on your booking confirmation.

        Sites “swap and cancel” amongst friends and family members are not allowed. So please do not have family members book a backup on your behalf in case you miss out, with a view to only keeping the “best” site. This unfairly ties up sites during the release rush.

        Sites are numbered 1 through 132.
        Sites 37 is our bungalow.
        Good luck with your Bookings.
