Aspen Holidays Adelaide Caravan Park

Aspen Holidays Adelaide Caravan Park in Hackney is a large, well-reviewed caravan park about 2km from the Adelaide city centre that takes dogs on both its powered and unpowered camping sites and in a selection of designated dog-friendly cabins, making it one of the more flexible pet-friendly bases near the city.

Dogs at the park

Dogs are welcome on powered and unpowered sites at no extra charge. Dog-friendly cabins carry a $50 pet fee per stay plus a refundable $100 pet bond taken at check-in, and cabins are limited to one pet each. Dogs must never be left unattended in a cabin or on a site, and pet stays need to be booked in advance. Not every cabin is pet-friendly, so nominate a dog-friendly option when you book and call the park to confirm for your dates.

The place

The park runs a camp kitchen, pool, playground and BBQ areas, with gravel sites and clean cabins regularly mentioned by guests. Some sites and cabins are on the tighter side, so if you are travelling with a large dog or a big rig, say so when booking. The location at 46 Richmond Street puts the River Torrens linear parklands effectively at the gate for daily walks, with the Botanic Gardens and Zoo within about 2km.

Max: sites are the fee-free option, but they mean the dog is with you in the open rather than behind a door, so bring a tie-out you trust in a busy park.

Location and nearby

For off-lead time, the Adelaide all-dog park and the small-dog fenced park sit in the south parklands, an easy drive from the gate. For a dog-friendly dinner, Malt Shovel Taphouse in Kent Town and General Havelock are the closest listed pubs.
