Pet policy
Yes, the NRMA Shellharbour Beachside Holiday Park (likely referring to the main park on John St, formerly Shellharbour Holiday Village/Caravan Park) allows dogs, but with specific restrictions. Pet Policy Summary: - Allowed Accommodations: Dogs are permitted only on designated caravan and camping sites. - Cabins/Rooms: Pets are generally not allowed in cabins or villas. - Rules & Approval: Pet bookings must be made directly with the park and are subject to manager approval prior to arrival. - Fees & Limits: The policy usually requires a maximum number of pets (typically 1-2) and a pet fee may
Shellharbour Holiday Village sits right on Junction Road at Barrack Point, directly opposite Blacks Beach, and it takes dogs, though not everywhere on site. The park allows pets on its caravan and camping sites; cabins are generally off-limits to pets, so the site you book decides whether your dog can come.
The pet policy. Dogs are permitted on designated caravan and camping sites only, with cabins and villas generally not allowing pets. Pet stays need manager approval before you arrive, so call ahead rather than assuming a booking covers your dog. Expect a limit of one to two pets and a pet fee, and keep dogs leashed and under control around the park. Extra cleaning charges can apply if a pet is found in a non-pet-friendly area or leaves a site in poor condition.
The place. It is a relaxed, older-style holiday park with a mix of powered and unpowered sites plus fully self-contained cabins, and management has a name for being accommodating. A BBQ area and camp amenities are on site, and the whole park is a short walk from Shellharbour Village shops and cafes.
Location and nearby. The park faces Blacks Beach across the road, so a beach walk is as easy as crossing Junction Road, and Lake Illawarra and Shellharbour Village are both close by. For a coffee stop with the dog, Warilla Beach Cafe and J's on the deck are both nearby and known for outdoor seating. If your dog needs a proper off-leash run rather than a beach stroll, Warilla Fenced Dog Park and Oak Flats Fenced Dog Park are a short drive away.
Who it suits. Good for owners on a caravan or camping site who want beach access at the front door and do not need a cabin. Less suited to anyone wanting a pet-friendly cabin, since that is generally not on offer here.

Before you book. Ring the park to confirm pet approval, the fee, and which sites currently allow dogs, since holiday parks update these terms from season to season. Booking early over summer holidays is worth it either way, pet or no pet.
