BIG4 Traralgon Park Lane Holiday Park

BIG4 Traralgon Park Lane Holiday Park is the Latrobe Valley's big family caravan park at 5353 Princes Highway, Traralgon, and it is properly set up for travelling dogs. Pets are welcome on caravan and camping sites and in specifically designated pet-friendly cabins, with the park's pet-friendly policy published on both the BIG4 and Park Lane Holiday Parks websites, including a clear set of rules.

Dogs at the BIG4 Traralgon Park Lane Holiday Park

The rules from the park's own policy: dogs stay on a secure lead at all times in common areas, cannot be left unattended in the park or inside accommodation for extended periods or overnight, and owners must clean up immediately. Dogs are permitted only inside the designated pet-friendly cabins, and wet, muddy or excessively dirty dogs are not allowed in cabins at all. Guests are usually asked to sign a pet agreement at check-in. Assistance dogs are exempt from the restrictions and welcome across the park, and the park keeps strictly pet-free cabins for allergy-sensitive guests, so flag your dog when you book and confirm size limits and any cabin bond.

The park

This is a resort-scale family park: cabins, a giant jumping pillow, mini golf, a ropes course, laser tag and Parky's indoor play centre. Guests rate the cabins clean and the park family-friendly. Book a pet cabin or site ahead for school holidays, because the pet-friendly cabin count is a fraction of total inventory.

While you're out there

Traralgon Dog Park is an easy drive for an off-lead run, and Toners Lane Dog Park in Morwell is another option heading west. On the town side, Gloria Jean's Traralgon is a coffee stop with outdoor seating.

Worth knowing

Suits families doing the Gippsland run with a settled, social dog. Bring bedding and bowls, keep the lead on between your site and the gate, and remember the overnight-unattended rule if you plan dinners out in town.
