Let’s Explore The Best Caravan Parks South Australia:
BIG4 Deniliquin Holiday Park
Not only did BIG4 Deniliquin Holiday Park win gold in the Caravan and Holiday Parks category of the Australian Tourism Awards, but it also achieved Hall of Fame status for winning the category for three years in a row. Set on the banks of the Edward River in the Murray and Riverina regions, it incorporates a pool, water splash park with a heated water slide and giant water bucket, mini-golf, watersports, luxury accommodation that includes modern three-bedroom resort villas, and powered and ensuite caravan and camping sites. It also has pet-friendly points, accepting small dogs in selected sites during the offseason.
Rac Cervantes Holiday Park
RAC Cervantes Holiday Park, near Nambung National Park, won silver in the Australian Tourism Awards. With powered and unpowered sites, lavish two as well as three-bedroom poolside villas, a cafe, kids’ activity area, nature playground, and pool, it’s a great choice for families and groups of friends. Dogs are also allowed in some sites with a bond and prior approval.
Big4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort
The bronze winner of the Australian Tourism Awards was BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort at Airlie Beach. With a mega waterslide park, lagoon-style pool with massage pavilion, two jumping pillows, kids’ club, and accommodation from powered sites, this park is an ultimate pleasure. Not dogs, but you will find green tree frogs and an animal park with a calf, sheep, and lambs here.
Marengo Holiday Park
Low-key Marengo Holiday Park is all about embracing the ocean. In a handy position just off the Great Ocean Road and along the 100km Great Ocean Walk, most of its unpowered sites as well as some powered sites and cabins have ocean views. Facilities include an enclosed camp kitchen, an amenities block with laundry, a playground, and an outdoor barbecue area. This is considered as one of the best Caravan parks South Australia where pets are welcome in all campsites and cabins, you just need to take care of them and don’t leave them unattended.
Sea Vu Caravan Park
In Robe, about 336km south of Adelaide, Sea Vu Caravan Park lives up to its name with powered caravan sites overlooking Guichen Bay and ocean-view cabins. Facilities include a camp kitchen, fully fenced playground, and paddleboards for hire. You can get pets in campsites but not common areas outside of peak times.
Red Bluff
On remote and rugged Quobba Station, a working pastoral station that stretches for 80km along WA’s Coral Coast. Red Bluff has unpowered camping and caravan sites, palm frond shacks, and ensuite safari tents. Basic facilities like drop pit toilets and clean water for campsites and shacks are available. Views over the Indian Ocean and the Barrel that is a famous surf spot are exceptional.
Best Friend Holiday Retreat
Many caravans and holiday parks allow pets in some areas and under certain conditions. However, some make your furry friends feel special. Best Friend Holiday Retreat, in the Tarra Valley, has securely fenced dog-friendly cabins and drive-through caravan sites, six off-leash areas, dog-friendly play equipment, and a dog hydrobath hut. If you explore nearby Tarra-Bulga National Park, you can book your pet into an onsite day use kennel.
Huskisson Beach Tourist Resort
An easy two hours south of Sydney, Jervis Bay is the perfect place to spend the weekend or an extended break. Far enough away to relax, this park boasts spotless facilities and stunning surroundings. If you are tired of lazing in the crystal clear waters or roaming through parklands, you do have other options just walking distance from the town of “Husky”, this caravan park is close to specialty stores, restaurants, cafes, the local pub, and much more. A visit to Hyams Beach that is reputed to have the whitest sand in the world is not to be missed.
North Star Holiday Resort
At Hastings Point, close to surf beaches and a tidal bay, North Star Holiday Resort has just about everything a traveler could desire. A fully supervised club is available every weekend and every day throughout holidays. There’s also a waterpark with four waterslides and 65 interactive water features including a 600-liter bucket, a play area, a fully fenced outdoor playground, a game room, and even a marine environment museum.
