Governors Hill Carapark

Governors Hill Carapark sits at 77 Sydney Road on Goulburn's northern side, in a quieter bush setting a few minutes from the CBD and easy off the Hume Highway. It is a caravan park with ensuite sites, cabins and a camp kitchen, and it takes dogs on both powered and unpowered sites as well as in designated pet-friendly cabins, which makes it a solid dog-included stopover on a Southern Tablelands run.

Dogs at the park

Dogs are allowed on powered and unpowered sites and in specific pet-friendly cabins, and listings indicate the park generally accepts dogs of any size. Pet charges may apply and pets need to be requested in advance. The pet cabins can be limited, so call ahead to confirm one is actually free for your dates rather than counting on it at the gate.

Max: book a site, not a cabin, if the pet cabin list comes back empty. Sites are the standing option for dogs here and your van is the kennel your dog already knows.

The setup

The park runs ensuite sites, a range of cabins from budget to standard, a camp kitchen and hot showers, with the usual caravan park layout for rigs of different sizes. Some sites are on the smaller side, so ask about fit when you book if you are towing something long. Bring your own bowls and bedding for the dog either way.

Out and about in Goulburn

For a secure off-lead run, Victoria Park Fenced Dog Park is a short drive away, and Jock Forsyth Dog Grounds gives you another dedicated space in town. If you are weighing up motels against the park, Lilac City Motor Inn is a dog-friendly room option closer to the centre. More choices are on the NSW pet friendly stays guide and the Goulburn destination page.

Best for travellers wanting a flexible overnight or short stay on the Hume with the dog on site. Request a pet site or pet-friendly cabin in advance, confirm any pet charge, and double-check site size if you are towing.
