Double Beach Caravan Park

Sitting between the river and the sea at Cape Burney, just south of Geraldton, Double Beach Caravan Park offers a relaxed, family-friendly base for travelling with your dog. The natural bushland setting gives the park a quiet, laid-back feel that suits dogs who like space to settle in without too much commotion. At 3.8 stars across 207 reviews, it is a straightforward, unpretentious holiday park that gets the basics right.

Dogs are welcome on powered and unpowered sites, as well as in selected pet-friendly cabins. The chalets are off-limits to dogs, so it is worth checking availability before you book. A pet fee applies. Give the park a call on (08) 9921 5845 to confirm current arrangements and make sure you secure the right site or cabin for your stay.

The drive through powered sites are handy if you are towing a caravan, and the unpowered sites suit tent and camper setups. Facilities include a tropical gazebo BBQ area, a camp kitchen, swimming pool, tennis court, beach volleyball net, fish cleaning area, and a mini-mart on site. The ablution blocks are clean with surprisingly good water pressure, which makes a real difference after a sandy day out.

The big drawcard here is beach access. A short, easy walk from the park gets you to the coastline, and the nearby beach is dog-friendly. Whether your dog loves a swim or just a long sniff along the shore, you will not need to drive anywhere for a decent beach outing.

Book the pet-friendly cabins ahead, especially during school holidays, as there are limited numbers and they go quickly.

Because the park sits in a bushland setting, keep your dog's tick and flea treatment up to date. Do not leave your dog unsupervised at your site or cabin, and be mindful of neighbouring campers who may not be comfortable around dogs.

If you are exploring other options around Geraldton, Geraldton Caravan Park is another solid stay choice closer to town. For a meal out, Remi French Cafe and The Murchison Tavern are both worth keeping in mind during your visit.
