Camden Holiday Park

Camden Holiday Park sits on the banks of the Nepean River at Elderslie, a short drive from historic Camden in Sydney's southwest. It is a straightforward, good-value park for camping, caravanning and simple cabin stays, and dogs are welcome on the designated sites, which makes it a practical base for a river-walk weekend with the dog.

Dogs at the Camden Holiday Park

The park's FAQ confirms pets are allowed on selected powered and unpowered camping and caravan sites, with conditions applying. Cabin stays with a dog are a different matter: availability is limited and needs to be confirmed directly with the park before you book, so do not assume any cabin takes pets. On site, dogs stay on a lead at all times within the grounds and owners clean up after them. The park does not publish a pet fee or size limit, so confirm both at booking rather than assuming either way.

Max: ring ahead and get the pet-friendly site confirmed in the booking notes. Policies like this shift season to season, and you do not want to arrive and find your site was never on the pet-approved list.

The place

This is an essentials-style park: a camp kitchen, barbecue facilities, hot showers and clean amenities rather than a resort program. Powered sites are the staple, and the riverside position gives it a quieter, more rural feel than parks closer to central Camden. It suits owners after a no-frills base, and dogs that are happy camping or caravanning rather than needing indoor space.

Getting there and parking

The park is at 21 Macarthur Road, Elderslie, with easy access off Camden Valley Way and free on-site parking at your site. Camden's town centre and the Argyle Street cafe strip are a few minutes by car.

While you're out there

The Nepean River walking paths run directly past the park, and the River Road Reserve fenced dog park gives your dog a proper off-leash run nearby. For coffee on the way into town, Hilder St Espresso is close by, and if the park is booked out, the Narellan Motor Inn is a pet-friendly fallback a short drive north.

Book the site type explicitly and confirm pet status by phone, then you are set for a simple river weekend. More pet friendly stays in NSW and the rest of Elderslie are on the site.
