Discovery Parks - Mildura, Buronga Riverside

Discovery Parks - Mildura, Buronga Riverside sits on the Murray River at 71A Caravan Park Road in Buronga, just over the bridge from Mildura's centre, and it is one of the few riverfront parks on this stretch that offers genuine pet-friendly cabins as well as sites. Grassed riverbank runs down to the water, black swans and ducks patrol the shallows, and the big red gums make it feel properly inland-Australia rather than a asphalt caravan stop.

Dogs at the Discovery Parks Mildura

The Superior 2 Bedroom Cabin is the named pet-friendly cabin, and dog-friendly configurations among the Superior range extend to the accessible variant, so book the pet cabin by name rather than assuming any cabin takes dogs. Powered, unpowered and ensuite sites are pet-friendly too, with pets registered at booking. Dogs stay on a lead everywhere outside your own site or cabin, owners clean up, and there is no off-leash area inside the park, so the riverbank walks are on-lead. Pet fees and any per-booking limits are not published, so confirm them when you reserve, and book early since the pet-friendly options are limited.

The setup

The park runs large sites that suit big vans, a camp kitchen, pools and ample parking at cabins, with the pool area and camp kitchen off-limits to dogs as usual. Riverbank walking tracks leave straight from the park, and the Murray is a short stroll from most sites. It is about ten to fifteen minutes from central Mildura across the bridge.

Close by with the dogs

For off-lead time, the Mildura Fenced Dog Park (Rio Vista Park) on the Mildura side of the river is the proper run. For coffee, Bobby + Me is a dog-friendly stop in town, and The Mildura Boathouse covers a riverfront lunch. If this park is full, the NRMA Mildura Riverside Holiday Park and Apex RiverBeach Holiday Park are pet-friendly river alternatives in the directory.

Max: Book the Superior 2 Bedroom pet cabin by name, register the dog when you book, and keep the lead on outside your site. The dog park over the bridge handles the off-lead time.
