Pet policy
Yes, the Port Sorell Caravan Park allows dogs to stay overnight, but primarily in caravans, motorhomes, and tents, rather than in their fixed cabin accommodation. Pet Policy Summary: - Approval & Fees: Dogs are welcome year-round, but management must be advised at the time of booking. A pre-authorization dog bond of $50 per dog is required. - Accommodation Types: Dogs are permitted on camping and caravan sites. They are typically not permitted inside standard cabin accommodation, though sometimes dog-friendly options are available (must check at booking). - Rules: Maximum of two registered d
Port Sorell Caravan Park sits on the banks of the Rubicon River at 40 Darling Street, with roughly 140 powered and 32 unpowered sites and easy beach access. It is a genuinely dog-friendly park with a clear, written policy, which makes planning simple.
Dog access and setup. Dogs are welcome year-round on camping and caravan sites, but you must declare them at time of booking. A pre-authorisation dog bond of $50 per dog applies and may be charged for non-compliance. Dogs must be secured on a lead no longer than 2 metres and kept within your site, and must be on a lead at all times when walking through the park. They are not permitted inside any buildings, including the camp kitchen, amenities, laundry or office, and must stay at least 10 metres from the playground. Dogs cannot be left unattended at your site. Dog bedding must not be washed in the park laundry, and faeces must be picked up immediately and placed in bins. Standard cabins generally do not allow dogs, though it is worth asking at booking in case dog-friendly options exist. Maximum two registered dogs per site.
Known for. Clean, well-maintained amenities, a relaxed family atmosphere, friendly management, and proximity to both the Rubicon River and the beach.
Getting there and parking. The park is on Darling Street, easy to find and navigate with a caravan, with generous site space for cars and vans.
Nearby with the dogs. Coastal walking and cycling paths run along the river and out towards the beach, and the town centre with its shops is a short walk away.

When to go. Book ahead in summer, as sites fill fast and dogs must be declared in advance rather than added on arrival. Good for owners who want a straightforward, rule-clear stay right on the water.
