Calder Tourist Park

Calder Tourist Park is a budget-friendly caravan park at 775 Fifteenth Street in Mildura, close to the city's shopping centres and a nearby tavern. It's a practical overnight base for travellers crossing the Sunraysia region with a dog, and dogs are welcome on the park's sites.

Dogs at the park

Pets are generally welcome on the tourist and powered sites, but check in with park management before arrival - caravan directories for this park list pets as site-only, with cabins off limits. A pet fee of around $10 is reported by past guests, though it's not published, so confirm the current fee and any size or breed conditions when you book. Standard park etiquette applies: dogs on a physical leash outside your own site, and bags ready for clean-up.

If you need a cabin with the dog inside, this isn't the park for it. Apex RiverBeach Holiday Park over by the Murray offers designated pet-friendly cabins and villas, plus a self-serve dog wash on site.

The park

It's a tidy, no-fuss park with cabins and sites, and guests rate it for cleanliness, a quiet feel and lovely staff. The drawcard is convenience: shopping centres are close for supplies, the tavern is an easy walk, and Fifteenth Street puts you on the main drag through Mildura without paying riverfront prices.

Getting there and parking

Fifteenth Street is Mildura's main eastern approach off the Calder Highway, so arriving from Melbourne or Adelaide you practically drive to the gate. Parking is at your own site.

While you're out there

The Rio Vista fenced dog park is a short drive away for proper off-leash exercise, and Mildura's riverfront strip has dog-welcoming cafes for a morning stop.

More options are on the Mildura destination page, and the full list is in the Victoria stays index.
