About Cumberland River Holiday Park
Cumberland River Holiday Park sits in a dramatic river valley just south of Lorne, where the Cumberland River meets the sea beneath towering cliffs on the Great Ocean Road. Beyond camping and cabins, the park runs a beachfront hire service that gives guests and day visitors direct access to the surf and the calm river mouth without hauling their own gear down the coast.
The beach hire stocks soft learn-to-surf boards, bodyboards and stand-up paddleboards suited to all levels, plus the accessories needed to make the most of a day on the water. The sheltered river and adjoining beach are ideal for paddling and first-time surfers, while the surrounding Otway forest offers waterfall walks and bushwalking tracks that start almost from the park gates.
The valley setting is what sets Cumberland River apart — few spots on the Great Ocean Road combine river, beach, cliffs and rainforest in one location. It has been a beloved family holiday base for generations, and the on-site hire makes it easy for visitors to pick up a board, walk to the water and spend the day exploring one of the coast's most photogenic pockets.
