Melrose Caravan & Tourist Park sits at the base of Mount Remarkable on Joes Road, a quiet, creek-side base for the Melrose Epic Trail mountain biking network and the town's hiking trails. Dogs are welcome across the whole park, on every powered and unpowered site plus a set of designated pet-friendly cabins.
The pet policy. Dogs can stay on any caravan or camping site with no trouble. For cabins, only the designated dog-friendly cabins take pets, and a cleaning surcharge of at least $45 applies, so confirm cabin availability with the office before you book. Dogs must be leashed and under control everywhere in the park, and can't be left unattended in a cabin, van or tent.
What's there. Doggy bags are provided around the park. Dogs are strictly not permitted in communal areas including the amenities block and camp kitchen, and washing a dog or its bedding in the park laundry is forbidden, so plan for that separately.
Getting there. The park is on Joes Road, Melrose, with flat, easy access off the main town area and large drive-through sites for caravans and RVs.
Watch-outs. Mount Remarkable National Park itself, right next door, does not allow dogs at all, including inside cars within the park boundary. Plan your hikes for the town's own trails and leave the national park sections for a solo trip or a dog-sitter day.
Nearby with the dogs. The Melrose township is an easy, dog-friendly walk from the park, with several cafes offering outdoor seating close by.

When to go. Mountain biking season brings the crowds, so book cabins ahead if you want one of the pet-friendly options. Powered sites are the easier fallback if cabins are full.
