Alice Springs Tourist Park is a family caravan park in Araluen with powered sites, shaded camping ground and a camp kitchen, the practical base for travellers touring the West MacDonnell Ranges with a dog in tow.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcome on caravan and tent sites but are not permitted inside the standard cabins or villas. All pets need management approval before arrival, must stay on lead and be supervised at all times, and a deposit or fee may apply at check-in, so confirm the current amount when you book.
Off limits. Dogs can't go into the pool area, the playground, the BBQ areas or the camp kitchen, so plan to leave your dog at the site (or on lead nearby) during those parts of the stay.
The place. Shady trees cover much of the park, and the site includes clean amenities blocks, a camp kitchen, a BBQ area and family ensuite cabins for the rest of the group if you're travelling mixed. Gates are locked overnight, which is reassuring if your dog is prone to wandering.
Who it suits travellers with calm, leash-trained dogs who are happy camping or caravanning rather than staying in a cabin. It's less suited to dogs that need to be off-leash to settle, given the on-lead rule applies park-wide.

Before you book. Confirm the pet fee or deposit, ask which sites are closest to the amenities without being next to the pool or playground, and check current opening hours for camp kitchen access if you're arriving late.
