Bookings for the rest of the year, including Melbourne Cup weekend AND the Summer Peak period, will open at 9am on Thursday October the 22nd. This encompasses the period from Oct 26th through until Jan 26th 2021.
Bookings will be accepted from all regions. Admission will be subject to Victorian Government Covid-19 restrictions in place at the time of intended stay. Any regional restrictions in effect will be determined using the address shown on your driver’s licence. One person is permitted to book a maximum of two sites.
Bookings will have availability capped at 60% of normal capacity to allow for reduced occupancy and physical distancing. The reduced capacity will be achieved by blocking off some sites. In the booking system, blocked sites will be indistinguishable from booked sites; both will appear in red as unavailable. Further information as to how the reduced capacity will be achieved is available here.
Due to Covid-19, the following arrangements are currently in place at Walkerville Foreshore Camping Reserve:
- Everyone over 12 must wear a fitted face mask covering their nose and mouth when they leave home, unless a lawful exemption applies.
- Up to 10 people can gather in outdoor spaces such as public playground, BBQ areas, beach, kiosk, communal campfires etc while staying 1.5 metres apart
- Communal facilities, including toilets, showers and BBQ’s, are open.
- There is a Covid-19 declaration form attached to the reminder email that must be completed and returned before check in. Admission to the camping reserve is not permitted unless a signed declaration form has been returned.
The Covid-19 related requirements may change before the date of your planned stay at Walkerville Foreshore Camping Reserve. You will receive an email prior to your arrival containing up to date requirements.
Given the changing nature of the Covid-19 restrictions, the planned Oct 22nd release date may be postponed.
All bookings will be subject to cancellation or change by the Walkerville Foreshore Reserve Committee of Management Inc (WFRCoM). In the event that a booking is cancelled by the WFRCoM, you will be entitled to a full refund. No refund will be offered if the WFRCoM changes your booking, such as allocating you to another site.
All other government directives such as social distancing, not visiting the Reserve when unwell and personal hygiene/hand washing etc must be adhered to all at times.
