Sale Showgrounds Caravan and Motorhome Park

Sale Showgrounds Caravan and Motorhome Park is a budget, self-registration campground on the showgrounds at 1/47 Maffra-Sale Road, popular with caravanners and motorhome travellers passing through Gippsland. It is sites only, no cabins, which makes it a straightforward overnight or short stay when you are travelling with a dog and your own rig or tent.

Dogs at the park

Dogs are welcome on the powered and unpowered sites, whether you are in a caravan, motorhome or tent. The park's own terms are clear: dogs on a physical leash at all times when outside your vehicle, no dogs inside the amenity blocks, and you clean up after them immediately. Dogs only here, other pets are generally not accommodated, and owners carry the liability for any damage or issues. There is no published pet fee, so confirm the current rules and any charge when you book or arrive.

The place

The setup is flat, spacious and functional rather than scenic: powered sites that take big rigs, unpowered sites for tents, and a laundry that runs on cashless payment. There are no cabins, so it suits self-contained travellers. One thing to check before you commit is the showgrounds event calendar, because shows and events can take over parts of the grounds on certain dates.

Close by with the dogs

You are close to central Sale, which makes exercising the dog easy. Lake Guthridge has a 3.4km paved loop through gardens and waterbird country, all on lead, and the Sale Canal path runs flat and wide along the historic waterway. Sale's dedicated dog park is the off-lead option, and Redd Catt is a local cafe stop. If you want a cabin instead, Siesta Central Apartments in town welcomes pets.

Max: this one is all about your own setup, there are no cabins, so it is van or tent with the dog on lead between your site and the gate.
