Shellharbour Holiday Village

Shellharbour Holiday Village is a coastal caravan park at 50 Junction Road, Barrack Point, directly across from Blacks Beach on the NSW south coast, with self-contained cabins, powered caravan sites and grassy camping areas about 700 metres from Shellharbour Village. It is a tidy, well-run park in a genuinely good spot, but dog owners need to know the headline up front.

Dogs at the Shellharbour Holiday Village

Pets are not permitted at this park, in the cabins or on the sites, a policy the park states plainly in its own FAQs to keep things comfortable for all guests. If you were hoping to stay here with your dog, the short answer is that it will not work, and bringing one anyway risks extra cleaning or damage charges under the park's terms and conditions. For a dog-friendly bed nearby, NRMA Shellharbour Beachside Holiday Park runs its own pet policy that takes dogs on sites with prior approval, and Lake Windemere Caravan Park at Warilla is another option to ask about.

Worth knowing

For anyone staying without a dog: check-in runs from 2pm and check-out is by 10am, reception opens Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and weekends 10am to 3pm, and each cabin or site comes with one parking space. Linen and towels are provided in cabins, while site guests bring their own bedding. Free Wi-Fi covers selected areas of the park.

Close by with the dogs

If you end up at a pet-friendly base nearby, this stretch of coast works well with a dog. Warilla Fenced Dog Park is a short drive north for an off-lead run, and Warilla Beach Cafe is the local coffee stop. The area guide at Barrack Point pulls the suburb together, and the broader list of dog friendly stays in NSW covers the rest of the state.
