RV Park Proserpine

RV Park Proserpine is a free, self-contained camping area on Main Street rather than a caravan park with cabins, and it works for travellers whose dog rides along in the van. The deciding fact: dogs are permitted because you stay in your own fully self-contained vehicle, so there is no cabin or shared-room question to sort out.

The pet policy. This is a parking area for fully self-contained caravans, motorhomes and big rigs, and dogs are allowed to stay within your own vehicle. Dogs must be kept on-leash and under effective control at all times, in line with Whitsunday Regional Council conditions. Owners must pick up and dispose of dog waste properly; this is a shared public area, so keep the site tidy.

The place. It is a no-frills, self-contained-only overnight stop, not a full park with amenities blocks. Come prepared to be self-sufficient.

Location and nearby. It sits on Main Street in central Proserpine, so town shops and a lead walk are close, and Blaze Pizzas Whitsunday takes dogs at its outdoor tables if you want dinner out.

Best for self-contained rigs passing through who need a simple, dog-along overnight stop. If you need powered sites or a cabin, one of the town's holiday parks or motels will suit better.
