We made our way to Barwon Heads, for the weekend and what a beautiful spot it is! 

Barwon Heads is 30 minute drive south from Geelong along Barwon Heads road. The drive can be a little tedious with paddocks most of the way! 

If you are coming from Melbourne, it's a 1 hour trip down the M1 then a short trip through Geelong's Princes Hwy before heading onto Barwon Heads road. Trip usually takes 1.2 hours. 

 

 

There are blocks scattered throughout the park which are fully functional and clean to use. Each comprising of toilet blocks and showers. 

The showers run on 3-4 minute timers which are pressed before heading into the shower. 

A camp kitchen is available too, conveniently located next to the playground. Inside comprises of sink, fridge, cooktop, microwave, kettle and oven. There are tables and chairs and a TV too. 

 

Just outside, in an undercover area are the bbq's. They are clean and work wonders on the old steaks! 

 

There are spatulas available for use and al foil is advised for use to avoid mess and damage. 

The parks main feature is the accessibility to the beach. Long, lazy nights listening to the beach roll in! Bliss! 

 

There is also a play area for the kids. It is centrally located and next to the kitchen. Pretty large area, kids were amused for a while but don't forget your shoes as it is bark!! 

 

 

As mentioned, the site is located near to the main strip. Just outside the entry is the local pub, At The Heads and the Beach House, all at your doorstep. These amazing restaurants showcase the regions finest seafood and wine, beer and cider. The Barwon Heads hotel is probably the most kid friendly, but they all do cater for families. 

Just around the corner you have all the local shops and traders. And just a short drive to Ocean Grove will land you in a larger shopping district. The area is also well known for its great surfing spots, picnic locations, the Barwon River and loads more! Definitely worth a trip to here.
