Double Beach Caravan Park

Double Beach Caravan Park sits at 4 Hull Street in Cape Burney, about ten minutes south of Geraldton, on the strip between the Greenough River mouth and the southern beaches. It is a straightforward, family-run style holiday park in natural bushland, and it takes dogs on sites and in selected cabins, which makes it the practical pet-friendly base for this end of Geraldton.

Dogs at the park

Dogs are welcome on both powered and unpowered sites, and there are designated pet-friendly cabins for travellers without their own rig. The chalets are strictly off limits to pets, so do not assume any roofed accommodation will work. A pet fee applies and the pet-friendly cabins are limited, so register your dog when you book rather than arriving with one. Phone the park on (08) 9921 5845 to confirm the current arrangements and lock in the right site or cabin for your dates.

The setup

The drive-through powered sites are the pick if you are towing, since you can park without unhitching gymnastics, and the unpowered sites suit tents and campers under the trees. Facilities cover the essentials and then some: a tropical gazebo BBQ area, camp kitchen, swimming pool, tennis court, a beach volleyball net, a fish cleaning area and a mini-mart on site. Reviewers rate the ablution blocks as clean with good water pressure, which counts for a lot after a sandy morning on the beach. The park is rated around 3.8 stars across a couple of hundred reviews, in line with its unpretentious character.

Getting there and out with the dog

Cape Burney is reached off the Brand Highway heading south from Geraldton, and Hull Street runs down towards the coast. The beach near the river mouth is the obvious walk, with the open green space around the park handy for stretching legs on a lead. For coffee and supplies, the ten-minute drive back into Geraldton puts Remi French Cafe and Kai Lani Cafe in range, both dog-friendly stops.

Worth knowing

If the pet cabins are booked out, Geraldton Caravan Park is the other listed dog-friendly caravan park in the area. More options are on the Cape Burney destination page, and the full list is in the WA stays index.
