The water park is expensive and often busy, but by all means have a go. The kids will love it!
Most parks are booked out this time of year. One of my best mates owns a local park. It is nuts down lorne way.
Good spots to camp are Stevensons falls near Forrest (not a Caravan park), 40min inland from skenes creek. Glenaire on the Aire river (not a park either), which is not that far from the 12 rocks. Both are quite beautiful! Kennet river, Cumberland river are good but again check availability, they are on coast and may have spots to camp at cost. Erskine falls is pretty bloody nice too. That is out back of lorne (no camping though, camp in lorne). Only thing is the Falls Festival is on over new years and it is nuts. Good memories as a young fella! Grog, girls and music! Not for the kids.
I would get on the Parks vic web (Great Otway Park) and check where you want to go and then ring for more info. I often camp in the Otways but more off the beaten track and I give it a wide berth at this time of year for fear of bashing a tourist in a fit of rage. Good luck and Happy Holiday!
