Boambee Palms Holiday and Accommodation Park

Boambee Palms Holiday and Accommodation Park is a budget caravan park right off the Pacific Highway at Boambee, between Coffs Harbour and Sawtell. It is a practical stopover park with grassy sites, shade trees and a creek-side camping area, and it generally welcomes dogs on its powered and unpowered camping and van sites.

Dogs at the Boambee Palms Holiday and Accommodation Park

The published rule set is simple: pets are kept on leads at all times when out of your van or vehicle, and owners pick up after them straight away. Noise complaints are taken seriously, so a settled dog matters in a park this close to other sites. What is not published is whether dogs can go inside the cabins, so if you want a cabin rather than a site, call ahead and get the answer before you book, and always mention the dog when reserving. There is no dedicated off-leash dog area on-site.

Worth knowing

This is a rustic, no-frills highway park rather than a resort stay. Guest reviews frame it as a fair budget option, with cleanliness mentioned as a mixed point, so it works best as an affordable overnight stop on a coastal run rather than a destination in itself. Its koala-adjacent bushland setting means wildlife awareness applies around the creek at dusk.

Getting there and parking

The park sits directly off the Pacific Highway between Coffs Harbour and Sawtell, which makes arrivals and departures easy but brings highway noise; ask for a site on the creek side if you want the quieter end. Parking is at your site.

Close by with the dogs

The dog payoff nearby is strong: City of Coffs Harbour allows dogs off-leash along the entire length of Boambee off dog lead beach, a short drive east, and the Boambee dog lead creek area at Sawtell covers leashed creek-side walking. The Toormina Reserve Dog Park is the closest fenced option.

More options are on the NSW dog friendly stays guide and the Boambee destination page.

Max: book a powered site rather than a cabin, and ring ahead about cabin pets. The published rules only clearly cover the sites.
