While a large number of caravan parks in NSW allow pets to stay with you, especially outside of peak times, there are some caravan parks in NSW that are truly dog-friendly, and worthwhile hunting out if you are travelling with your dog in NSW<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These caravan parks truly treat your dog as a guest of the park. Some parks have fenced off-leash dog parks<\/a> for your dog to exercise onsite, while others have pet-friendly cabins<\/a>, dog washes, washing machines for your dog’s bedding or even pet-sitting. Next time you are holiday with your dog, stay at one of these extra dog-friendly caravan parks in NSW.<\/p>\n\n\n

#1 Discovery Parks – Forster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve had the pleasure of staying at Discovery Parks – Forster<\/a>, one of the most dog-friendly caravan parks in NSW. Dogs are allowed to stay at the park year round, both on selected sites as well as in selected cabins, including the Deluxe Riverfront cabins. The pet-friendly cabins are clearly listed on the website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

There’s a shady fenced dog park with seating onsite, which I believe has been extended with an area just for small dogs since my stay. Every Sunday at 8am there is a Discovery Barks Walk, another great way to socialise your dog, followed by drinks and nibbles. And if your dog is rather sandy after a day at the local off-leash beaches<\/a>, make use of the self-service dog wash and blow dry.<\/p>\n\n\n

Note that usually only one dog per booking is permitted, with possible management approval for a second dog. Dogs must be registered, microchipped and vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 Riverwood Downs, Barrington Tops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a country stay with your dog in NSW, look no further than Riverwood Downs<\/a>. Located in the Barrington Tops region, 2 1\/2 hours drive north of Sydney, while pets are not allowed in the nearby national park, they are warmly welcomed at this destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as on the Riverside and Parkland camp sites, dogs are also allowed in a number of accommodation options, including the Pet-Friendly Family Cabins, Spa Cabins, selected Boutique rooms and the Bunkhouse. And there’s no peak season restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riverwood Downs has a huge 750 acres for you to explore, play and swim with your pup, ranging from manicured lawns to walking trails and a mountain river. In selected areas they’re allowed off-leash, as long as they’re under your control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, relax at the onsite Barrington Bar and Grill, with verandah tables available to guests with dogs, plus their own dog menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 Reflections Holiday Parks Lennox Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for dog-friendly caravan parks throughout NSW, check out the range of dog-friendly parks from Reflections Holiday Parks<\/a>. Currently 30 out of their 37 parks located around the state are dog-friendly, although not all the parks are dog-friendly year round, with some having seasonal restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most dog-friendly Reflections Holiday Parks is their Lennox Head<\/a> park. Dogs are permitted at this park year round, on all sites plus in selected deluxe and economy cabins. Book directly with the park if you are bringing along a dog.<\/p>\n\n\n

What makes Reflections Holiday Parks Lennox Head extra dog-friendly is their recently opened fenced dog park. It’s a great spot for all park guests to gather and allow their dogs to burn some energy, with more agility equipment to be introduced in coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n

Don’t also miss heading to the nearby off-leash dog beach. Seven Mile Beach is off-leash north of the surf club – use the access path just past the club, keeping your dog leashed on the path until you get to the off-leash area. Lennox Head is just 20 minute south of Byron Bay<\/a>, but a more peaceful alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 Reflections Holiday Parks Evans Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another Reflections Holidays Parks with great facilities for dogs is Reflections Holiday Parks Evans Head<\/a>. It’s also now pet-friendly year round, plus is one of the few caravan park in Australia with fenced pens for dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Book one of these special dog-friendly powered sites in the Riverside precinct and you’ll have your own private pen for your pup at the shady rear of your site, ideal for relaxing times. The park also has two dog washes, perfect for rinsing off the sand at the end of busy beach days.<\/p>\n\n\n

Most of the sites are pet-friendly in the Riverside precinct of this large park, as well as selected sites in the Beachside precinct. There are now also a selection of dog-friendly cabins, villas and tiny homes available to book. Up to two dogs are permitted per booking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While pet dogs are not allowed on the nearby patrolled beach, head a couple of kilometres north to the off-leash Airforce Beach. This quiet beachside spot is located halfway between Ballina and Yamba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
