Tidal River Accommodation

Tidal River Accommodation is Parks Victoria’s collection of roofed stays in the park’s main visitor hub: Wilderness Retreats, cabins, huts, units and group lodges. It is separate from the campground’s camping and caravan pitches, so look here if you want a fixed place to sleep. Cabins sleep up to six; group lodges take 12, 24 or 30 people in bunk-room dormitories.

Tidal River is handy for walks and Norman Beach, a few minutes’ stroll away for a paddle or snorkel. The General Store sells basic groceries, camping gear and takeaway food, useful if you want to keep meals simple. For accessible accommodation, two cabins have ramps and accessible bathrooms; the Domain Unit also has a ramp, accessible bathroom and kitchen. Book that exact option if you need these features.

Tidal River is about a 30-minute drive from the park entrance, and there is no fuel at the hub, so fill up before heading in. Roofed stays can fill quickly over Easter, Labour Day and summer school holidays; book early for those periods. Avoid driving between dusk and dawn because wildlife can be on the road. Pets are not allowed in the park.
