Busselton Villas & Glamping Village

Busselton Villas and Glamping Village on Bussell Highway is a caravan park and glamping village near the Geographe Bay shore, and it takes dogs, but only in its designated pet-friendly glamping tents. Book the right tent, complete the paperwork, and you get a proper canvas stay with the dog instead of leaving them at home.

Dogs at the village

The pet policy applies to the specific pet-friendly glamping tents only, so request one by name when booking. The limit is two small dogs or one medium to large dog per tent, and dogs must be over 12 months old and fully vaccinated, no puppies. A pet registration form goes back to the park before arrival, the fee is $35 per dog per night, and a $200 pet bond is taken by pre-authorisation or cash and refunded if the tent comes through clean. Inside the tent the rules are firm: dogs are never left unattended, they stay off the furniture and beds, and wet dogs stay outside. On the grounds, dogs remain on a lead outside the tent and you clean up promptly.

Worth knowing

The village has a games room and beach access close by, and guests rate the clean villas and the glamping setup highly at 4.3 across nearly 300 reviews. It suits one calm larger dog or a pair of small dogs with owners who want a tent rather than a cabin, and it does not suit puppies or anyone expecting the dog in a villa. Bring your own bowls and bedding, and have the bond ready at check-in.

Getting there and parking

The village sits on Bussell Highway on the southern side of Busselton, about 15 minutes from the foreshore and the Busselton Jetty, with parking at your site or tent.

Close by with the dogs

The council's year-round off-leash beach stretches include the Bower Road zone in West Busselton and Wonnerup Beach, while the main foreshore swimming hub prohibits dogs at all times and the shared coastal paths are on-leash, so check the signage at whichever access track you use. In town, Poppy and Pip is the dog-friendly cafe stop and Burger Bones handles the post-beach dinner run.
