A Crucial Tip Before You Book: Pet policies can change without notice and almost always have seasonal rules (e.g., no pets during Christmas or Easter holidays). It is absolutely essential to call the park directly before your visit to confirm their current dog policy, mention you are bringing a pet when booking, and ask about any specific rules or designated pet-friendly sites/cabins.

Safe Travels in the Tow Vehicle

Life on the road in a caravan in Victoria is an amazing adventure. While you've expertly prepared the van itself, remember that your dog will be travelling with you in the car. For their safety and your focus on the road, they must be properly secured in the tow vehicle for every part of the journey.

A well-fitted dog car harness or a supportive dog car seat prevents driver distraction and protects your best mate during sudden stops or turns on the highway.

Before you hitch up and hit the road, make sure you have the right safety setup in your car. See our complete Guide to Dog Car Seats and Restraints to ensure you're ready for the journey.
