Easter Bookings 2025 opening Soon !

Bookings for the Labour Day Weekend and Easter 2024 will be available to book online from:

9am on Saturday October 5th 2024

Our staff can not do bookings for you, so please do not call them during the release.

Applicable dates are as follows:

  • Labour Day long weekend.  March 7th – March 10th (3 night minimum).
  • Easter holidays – April 4th – April 21st, (4 night minimum over Easter long weekend from 18th April – 21st April )

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 (in either of the two 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.
  • 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.

    Site 37 is our bungalow. (Bungalow 34 is out of action for repairs)

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

    Good luck with your Bookings.

    Christmas/New Year Bookings upadate

    Dear Campers,

    We apologise for the system errors that some of you have encountered while trying to book for the Christmas/New Year period. Our intention in changing booking systems was to enhance the booking experience for everyone, but unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case for all of you.

    Despite the challenges during this booking phase, we are committed to using your feedback to improve the process.

    If you accidentally booked more sites than needed, rest assured that you’ll receive a full refund for those extra bookings. The cause of the missing booking confirmation message has been identified and is now fixed. We’re actively investigating and collaborating with the system provider to ensure a better booking experience in the future.

    Sincerely, Walkerville Foreshore Committee of Management

          Walkerville South Ramp Closed to recreational vehicles – Easter 2024 – 29th March thru 1st April 2024

          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 March 29- Monday April 1 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
