Frequently asked questions
When should I book accommodation for the Australian MotoGP?+
As early as you can. The closest hotels and campsites around Phillip Island typically sell out 4-6 months ahead. Booking with free cancellation the moment dates are confirmed is the safe move.
Where is the best place to stay for the Australian MotoGP?+
The closest stays are in Cowes and the villages right by the circuit. For more choice and better prices, the surrounding towns within about 30 minutes are the sweet spot. The map above shows live availability across all of them.
Can I camp at Phillip Island?+
Yes. Official and private campsites, glamping and motorhome pitches open for the race weekend right next to the circuit. They are the closest, best-value option and the first to go, so book early. The map shows what's bookable online.
How far in advance do stays near Phillip Island sell out?+
On-site and walking-distance options usually go 4-6 months before the Australian MotoGP. The wider ring of towns stays open much longer, so widen your search if the closest places are full.
