BIG4 Middleton Beach Holiday Park

BIG4 Middleton Beach Holiday Park sits right on Flinders Parade at the beachfront, with a pool, spa and playground on site. It takes dogs, but only on the powered and unpowered sites, and only outside school holidays and long weekends, so this is a park for the flexible traveller rather than a peak-season family trip.

The rules. Dogs are allowed on caravan and camping sites only, not in cabins or any other built accommodation. Stays are limited to low and mid-season, with no pets accepted during school holidays or public holiday long weekends. Maximum two dogs per site, kept on a lead at all times and never left unattended. Barking or aggressive behaviour is not tolerated, and owners must clean up immediately. All pet stays need approval before arrival, so book directly with the park team and confirm your dates fall within the pet-friendly window.

What's there. Standard site power and water hookups, plus a heated indoor spa, swimming pool and a large jumping pillow for the humans and kids in the group. Bring your own bowls and bedding as pet amenities are not specifically provided.

Getting there. The park is at 28 Flinders Parade, reached via Marine Drive. Each site has dedicated car and caravan or tent space.

Nearby with the dogs. The beach directly in front of the park is not a dog beach, the nearest off-leash stretch is east of the park via the Surfers Beach car park. Eyre Park and the coastal path nearby are good on-leash options, and cafes along the boardwalk will seat dogs at the edge of outdoor tables.

When to go. Aim for low or mid-season dates well outside school holidays, both to guarantee your dog's spot and to get a quieter beachfront site.
