Queanbeyan Riverside Caravan Park - QRCP

Queanbeyan Riverside Caravan Park sits on the banks of the Queanbeyan River at 41A Morisset Street, within walking distance of the town's shops, supermarkets and clubs. It is a practical riverside stopover just outside Canberra, and dogs are welcome on the camping and caravan sites, which makes it a straightforward stopover for road-trippers travelling with a dog.

Dogs at the river park

Dogs are allowed on powered and unpowered sites, but you must advise the park when you book. The general rule is one dog per site unless management agrees otherwise in advance. The booking terms spell out the standards: dogs must be leashed and supervised at all times inside the park, be well-socialised, not aggressive and not given to excessive barking, and be fully vaccinated. Clean up is expected immediately, and dog waste bags are available at the park if you run out. A dog that cannot meet those conditions gets the whole stay cut short with no refund, so a quiet, sociable dog is a prerequisite rather than a preference. The pet-friendly policy applies to sites rather than the fixed cabins, so if you need a roof, confirm dog access for that unit directly before booking.

The sites

Expect gravel pitches, a riverfront setting and large sites suited to caravans, with a boom gate at entry. The riverside position gives you walks straight from your site along the river corridor, and the town centre is a short stroll for supplies.

Max: Flag your dog when you book, and if you are bringing two, sort the second dog with management before arrival rather than at the boom gate.

Into town, Thirty 4 Cafe and Restaurant is the local coffee stop, and for a motel-style stay nearby, Queanbeyan River Motel is close by. More options are on the New South Wales pet friendly stays guide and the Queanbeyan destination page.
