Ipswich Show Society

The Ipswich Show Society runs a pet-friendly caravan park and camping ground on the showgrounds, where dogs are welcome on sites under a clear set of rules. This is camping and caravanning, not motel rooms, so come set up for it.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome in the caravan park precinct. The rules are firm: dogs must be on a lead or otherwise restrained whenever they are moving around the park, and secured within your own site at all times. If you leave the site, your dog must be contained in a suitable enclosure such as a crate, the caravan, or a small play pen, not left loose. Only one animal is allowed per site unless you have written approval from the Show Society. Confirm the current terms when you book.

The place. A practical caravan park and camping option with a dump point and clean amenities by the reviews. It sits beside the greyhound track, and it can get crowded around events, so check the show and event calendar before you choose dates.

Who it suits. Self-sufficient caravan and camping travellers with one well-managed dog who is comfortable being contained on site.

Before you book. Bring a crate or pen so you can leave the site within the rules, pack your own bowls and bedding, and confirm availability around any scheduled events.

Compiled from public sources and verified listings. Always confirm current rules with the venue or council before you travel.
