The Goorambat Railway Hotel is a newly renovated country pub in Goorambat, Victoria, that offers free backyard camping for travellers. The defining catch for dog owners: this is an outdoor-only stop. The pub allows dogs specifically for caravan, RV, and tent camping behind the hotel, not for indoor accommodation.
The pet policy. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to stay overnight in the backyard parking area when you are travelling in a caravan, RV, or tent. There are no indoor motel rooms advertised for overnight stays, so this is a camping-only arrangement for dog owners.
The place. This is a classic country pub with cold beer and gluten-free menu options, and reviewers describe the staff as accommodating. The hotel is also linked to the region's silo art, making it a worthwhile stop for travellers touring the trail.
Fees and booking. Parking in the backyard is free for patrons. There is no formal site fee, though the hotel suggests buying a drink or a meal in return for the free camping.
Who it suits. This stop suits self-contained travellers, particularly caravanners and RV owners exploring regional Victoria, who want a relaxed, community-minded overnight stop rather than a traditional motel stay.

Location and nearby. The hotel sits in the small town of Goorambat. If you're touring the wider district, the Benalla area has a few dog-friendly options, including Churchill Reserve Dog Park and stays such as Benalla Tourist Park and Clement House. The Tungamah Hotel is another country pub option nearby.
Plan your stop for a weekday evening if you want a quiet backyard, or arrive mid-afternoon on a weekend to claim a park before the pub fills up for dinner.
