Koroit-Tower Hill Caravan Park

Koroit-Tower Hill Caravan Park sits on the edge of Koroit, an easy walk from the shops, and is explicitly dog-friendly on its powered sites. It is a small, relaxed park with large flat grassy sites and helpful on-site managers, which suits dogs that do not love big tourist crowds.

Dogs at Koroit-Tower Hill Caravan Park

Dogs are welcomed on the powered sites, which start from around $32 a night and are roomy, flat and grassy. Cabin availability for pets varies by cabin type, so call the park office directly before booking a cabin rather than assuming. Keep dogs on lead within the park grounds and clean up promptly; waste bins are provided throughout.

The vibe

This is a quiet, small caravan park rather than a resort operation: a handful of cabins, a camp kitchen, generous sites and managers who keep the place tidy. Flat ground and short walks make it a practical base for older or less mobile dogs, and the town centre is close enough that you can leave the car hitched up.

Pepsi: flat, grassy sites like these are ideal for a dog that wants to flop in the shade between walks rather than navigate uneven ground.

Getting there and parking

The park is on High Street, Koroit, at the historic botanic gardens end of town, a five-minute walk from Commercial Road's cafes and pubs. Parking is at your site, and the park sits roughly midway between Warrnambool and Port Fairy on the Shipwreck Coast drive.

Worth knowing

Do not plan dog walks inside Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve next door. Parks Victoria prohibits dogs entirely in the reserve, including on its tracks and picnic grounds, because of the emus, kangaroos and koalas that roam free there. Admire the volcanic crater from the road with the dog in the car, and use local dog areas instead.

Close by with the dogs

In town, Koroit Dog Park gives the dog an off-lead run, and Dukes Commercial Hotel or Noodledoof Brewing and Distilling Co round out a stroll through the heritage streetscape.
