Teralba Lakeside Caravan Park

Teralba Lakeside Caravan Park sits at 21 Anzac Parade, Teralba, on the edge of Lake Macquarie. It is a quiet, older-style park with powered and unpowered sites, a pool and a barbecue area, and its defining fact for dog owners is that pets are welcome on camping sites only, never inside the cabins or units.

Dogs at the Teralba Lakeside Caravan Park

Dogs are generally permitted on powered and unpowered caravan and camping sites, but only when pre-arranged with management at the time of booking. They are not allowed inside cabin or unit accommodation under any arrangement. Within the park, dogs stay on lead at all times and need to be well behaved and controlled to keep the park's quiet character. An extra cleaning fee may apply, and charges like this are sometimes only disclosed at check-in, so confirm every detail directly with management when you book rather than relying on booking platform summaries.

Pepsi: book the site by phone, not just the app. The pet arrangement here is a conversation with management, and you want it settled before you are standing at the gate with a dog in the car.

The park itself

Sites suit caravans, campervans and tents, with deluxe cabins available for travellers without pets. There is close water access to the lake, a public boat ramp nearby, and Teralba Railway Station is close at hand for anyone arriving without a vehicle. Warners Bay, with its shops and cafes, is a short trip up the shore.

Getting there

Access is straightforward: a flat entry directly off the main road makes arriving with a caravan or camper relatively stress-free. The address is 21 Anzac Parade, Teralba, on the lake's eastern shore between Cardiff and Speers Point.

While you're out there

The Lake Macquarie foreshore paths start from the park for on-lead exercise, and for a proper off-lead run the Speers Point Fenced Dog Park is a short drive north. The Bolton Point Dog Exercise Area gives a lakeside swim option. Coffee is covered at Hippo Espresso and Lena's Cafe and Bar at Warners Bay.
