BIG4 Sale Caravan Park

BIG4 Sale Caravan Park sits at 2-6 Foster Street on the Princes Highway, close to Sale's town centre in Gippsland. It has grassy powered and unpowered sites, self-contained cabins, tiny homes, drive-through sites for easy towing, and it takes dogs, so it works whether you are towing a van or after a cabin, as long as you sort the pet-friendly unit in advance.

Dogs at the BIG4 Sale

Pets are welcome on caravan and camping sites. In cabins, dogs are only allowed in designated pet-friendly units, which carry a fee of $20 per night per animal; book that cabin type explicitly rather than assuming any cabin will do, and note that some tiny homes are strictly no-pets inside. Around the park, dogs must be on a physical leash whenever they are out of your van, tent or cabin, they are never to be left unattended, and they are barred from communal indoor areas including the camp kitchen, amenities, playground and reception. You are responsible for cleaning up after your dog and for any damage or extra cleaning. Bring the dog's own bed and bowls and keep them off furniture and beds in cabins.

The park

Facilities include a modern camp kitchen, undercover barbecue areas, a clean amenities block with accessible bathrooms, a guest laundry and a dump point. Reviews consistently praise the clean amenities and the great showers, and the drive-through caravan sites get a regular nod from tourers. Some cabins are noted as dated, so ask which unit you are getting if that matters. Possums are a known after-dark presence, which is worth knowing if your dog sleeps outside.

Close by with the dogs

Central Sale is close enough to walk or a short drive, with Raymond Street's cafes and footpath seating, including Shirley's Cafe and Bar and redd catt. Sale The Dog Park is the local off-leash run, and the Lake Guthridge and Port of Sale walking loop is a good leashed leg-stretch. If the park is full, the Sale Showgrounds Caravan and Motorhome Park is the town's other option.

Suits families and tourers who want full park facilities with a dog kept leashed and off the furniture. More options in the region are on the Sale destination page, and the full list is in the VIC stays index.
