FAQs

How many pets can I bring with me?

We have a limit of 1 pet per site and they must comply
with our terms and conditions stated above. In some cases, we may allow 2 small dogs but this is at managements discretion. We welcome domesticated dogs and cats only. Sorry, no pythons.

Do you have pet friendly cabins?

Unfortunately, no. At this point, we only offer pet friendly camping and caravan sites.

Do you have any pet-free sites?

We have a dedicated area that will not be pet-friendly upon implementation of this policy. If you would like to book a site away from pets, please contact us directly so we can put you in the right area.

Do you have a pet sitting service?

No, we do not. But we recommend contacting Paw Shake should you need to leave the park without your pet.

Are there limitations on breeds?

We ask that dogs are not of a “bitey or barkey” nature and weigh less than 25kg. If you have a larger dog such as a labrador or retriever that is not inclined to bark or bite, they may be able to join you. Please speak to staff when booking.

Can I bring my pet during school holidays?

While we have our pet-friendly training wheels on, we are restricting pets to off-peak periods only.
We may re-evaluate this policy down the track.
