Coffs Coast Holiday Parks

This listing covers the beachside holiday park at 1 Ocean Parade in Coffs Harbour, a large, well-run park a short walk from the sand and roughly 10 minutes on foot from the city centre. One caution before you book: the name Coffs Coast Holiday Parks also belongs to a regional group of parks, and the two are easy to confuse in search results. Confirm you are reserving the Coffs Harbour beachfront park described here, and confirm its current dog policy directly, before you pay a deposit.

Dogs at the park

Dogs are permitted on designated sites and in selected pet-friendly cabins at the park, and guests rate it as a practical beachside base for travelling dogs. Declare your dog when booking, keep it on a lead at all times inside the park, and clean up after it. Pet fees may apply, particularly on cabin bookings, and pet cabins are limited, so request one at reservation rather than expecting one to be available. Note that the regional park group of a similar name states only one of its parks takes dogs, which is exactly why you should pin the policy down in writing for the specific park and dates you are booking.

The place

The park runs to two amenity blocks, well-maintained sites and a kids' water-play facility, and the site mix covers grass, slab and drive-through options for caravans, motorhomes and tents. The beachside position is the drawcard: you can hear the surf from the park and walk to the sand without moving the car, and the CBD's shops and cafes are an easy stroll.

Max: flag your dog at the time of booking and ask which cabin or site types actually take pets, because pet cabins are limited and the fee is not always shown in the online rate.

Close by with the dogs

North Wall Beach Off-Leash Area is a short walk away for a proper off-lead run, and the stretch from North Wall down to Coffs Creek is the other popular beach walking line with dogs. For a fenced option, Thompsons Road Reserve Fenced Dog Park is the local choice. Dogs are welcome on lead around the marina precinct, which makes a good flat evening walk.

More options around the city are on the Coffs Harbour destination page, and the wider list is in the NSW pet friendly stays index.
