What visitors mention
Pet policy
The non-negotiable rules: dogs stay leashed or tethered everywhere in the park, and they cannot be left at the site or in the cabin while you go out. The fee is $20 per pet per night, paid to the park on arrival, and the park will not default you into a pet unit, so state clearly at booking that you need one.
Gold Nugget Tourist Park sits directly on the Midland Highway at Epsom, a few minutes north of Bendigo and an easy walk from Bendigo Pottery. It is a big, family-run caravan and tourist park with cabins and sites, and the draw for dog owners is designated pet-friendly cabins plus a dog wash on site.
Dogs at the park
Dogs are accepted in selected pet-friendly cabins, up to two per room, and on designated caravan and camping sites. The fee is $20 per pet per night, paid to the park on arrival, and the park will not default you into a pet unit, so state clearly at booking that you need one.
The non-negotiable rules: dogs stay leashed or tethered everywhere in the park, and they cannot be left at the site or in the cabin while you go out. Amenities blocks, the pool area, playground and camp kitchen are off limits.
Max: the dog wash on site is the detail that matters after Bendigo's dirt and river tracks. Use it before the cabin, not after.
The park
The grounds run to a camp kitchen, laundry, giant jumping pillow, mini golf and clean amenities blocks, with flat, drive-through sites that suit towing. Most outdoor areas around your cabin or site are open to a leashed dog, and reviews regularly call out the standard of the facilities.
Location and getting there
The highway frontage at 293 to 297 Midland Highway makes the park simple to find and straightforward for larger rigs, with parking alongside cabins and sites. Central Bendigo is a short drive south for supplies, cafes and the botanical gardens.
While you're out there
For an off-lead run, Provenance Dog Park at Huntly is a short drive north, and Field 2 at Epsom Huntly Recreation Reserve on the same highway operates as a shared off-lead oval outside sport hours. If Gold Nugget has no pet cabins free, BIG4 Tasman Holiday Parks Bendigo at White Hills is the nearest alternative that takes dogs, and The Golden Bean covers the Bendigo coffee stop.
More stays that take dogs are in the Victoria pet friendly accommodation guide and on the Epsom destination page.
