Kelmscott Caravan Park

Kelmscott Caravan Park is a small, budget park in Kelmscott in Perth's south-east foothills, handy to local shops and about twenty minutes by train into the CBD. Small, well-behaved dogs are welcome on the powered and unpowered sites; cabins are a different matter and hinge on a phone call before you book.

Dogs at the park

Sites are the reliable option: small, well-behaved, people-friendly dogs are permitted, subject to conditions agreed with management before arrival. Bringing a dog into the cabins is decided case by case, and dogs may not be allowed in some or all cabin types, so you have to contact the park directly on (08) 9390 6137 to confirm whether a specific cabin is pet-friendly for your dates. Fees are not published, so ask when you call. The usual shared-park rules apply: keep your dog on a lead, under control, and clean up after it.

The vibe

This is a straightforward, no-frills park with a friendly-staff reputation from guests, though review scores sit in modest territory. It suits campers and van travellers looking for a cheap, practical base rather than a polished holiday-park experience, and it works best for owners with a small, settled dog staying on a site.

Getting there and parking

The park sits in Kelmscott near the town centre, with the Armadale train line connecting into Perth CBD, and local shops close enough for daily supplies. Your van or car parks at your site.

Close by with the dogs

The John Dunn Memorial Park Fenced Dog Park on Third Avenue is the standout nearby: three separate fenced zones for small, medium and large dogs with agility gear and water stations. Harber Fenced Dog Park in Armadale is an open-24-hours alternative. For a coffee run, Dome Cafe - Kelmscott is central. More WA stays and the Kelmscott guide round out the area.
