Whether a caravan park counts as “pet friendly” depends on who is asking. Some travellers prefer parks with no animals at all, while others would never leave their pets behind and book Pet Friendly Caravan Parks on purpose.
Check the rules before you book
Pet policies vary widely:
- Some parks allow pets on site but not on walking trails.
- Others allow pets at campsites only.
- Many limit the number, size or type of animals.
Read the park’s pet policy carefully, and ask about leash rules, quiet hours and areas where pets are not allowed.
More than one pet?
Many parks welcome more than one dog or cat, and larger parks often let you reserve a site in a pet-friendly section. Always mention how many pets you are bringing when you book.
Look for pet facilities
The best pet-friendly parks offer dog runs, off-leash areas, dog wash stations and even kennels. Parks with these facilities are often in rural and regional areas, where there is more room for animals to explore.
Pack for your pet
Bring food and water bowls, a lead, waste bags, bedding, any medication and your vet’s contact details, plus proof of vaccinations.
With a little planning, your whole family – pets included – can enjoy life on the road. Find more trip ideas in our Travel section, and see how to get the best exchange rate deals when traveling.
