Pinjarrah Holiday Park

Pinjarrah Holiday Park sits on a working farm on the banks of the Murray River at 326 Pinjarra-Williams Road, Blythewood, about 3km from Pinjarra and an hour south of Perth. The standout for dog owners is a large fenced off-lead exercise area on site, a rare feature in a caravan park, and river frontage for long walks. It is a genuine multi-night base rather than just a stopover.

Dogs at Pinjarrah Holiday Park

Dogs are welcome on the powered caravan and camping sites, kept on lead and contained to your own site while you are camped. The fenced exercise area is where they can run off-lead, and the lower 100 acres of river frontage serve as an expansive off-lead zone for long walks along the water. Confirm any pet fees, weight limits or breed conditions directly with the park when booking, as the details are not published online.

This is a working farm with cattle, kangaroos and foxes about, so supervision matters away from the fenced area. The river itself invites a dog paddle, and birdwatchers rate the frontage highly with more than 75 species recorded.

Max: check with the park about 1080 baiting in the surrounding bushland before letting your dog roam beyond the fence. Campsite plus the designated exercise area is the safe loop.

Worth knowing

The set-up is relaxed and rural: roughly four acres of grassed camping and caravan sites within a 600-acre farm, about 70 powered sites, a camp kitchen and clean ensuite-style amenities. Sites are large and flat and suit big rigs as well as tents.

Getting there and parking

The park is on Pinjarra-Williams Road at Blythewood, on the road toward Dwellingup, about an hour's drive from Perth. Parking is at your site.

Close by with the dogs

Pinjarra township is a short drive back with cafes offering outdoor seating, including Dôme Café for an off-site coffee. Pinjarra Caravan Park is the in-town alternative, and heading into the forest, Dwellingup Dog Park makes a good day-trip leg stretch.
