Traralgon Holiday Village

Traralgon Holiday Village is a 10-acre caravan and cabin park set back from the Princes Highway, roughly halfway between Traralgon and Morwell in the Latrobe Valley. It is about 150 kilometres south-east of Melbourne, which makes it a natural overnight stop on the drive into Gippsland or a base for touring the region's wineries, parks and town centres. The park lists itself as pet-friendly, so touring with a dog is straightforward as long as you book the right kind of site or cabin.

Dogs at the Traralgon Holiday Village

Dogs are generally welcome, but the welcome is aimed at the camping and caravan side of the park: pets are usually limited to designated pet-friendly accommodation or powered sites rather than every cabin. Various dog sizes are reported as fine, and some stays attract no extra pet fee, though neither point is guaranteed, so confirm both when you book. Cabin stays in particular need a direct check with the park before you assume anything, including the rules on leaving a dog unattended. Pack bedding, bowls and bags as you would for any park stay.

Worth knowing

The park runs a camp kitchen with a pizza oven, a BBQ gazebo, an outdoor pool, guest laundry and accessible amenities, with powered and drive-through sites among the caravan options. Guests describe it as a tidy, orderly park, which matters more than usual when you are walking a dog around shared grounds at dusk. The gardens and open areas give you somewhere to potter without leaving the property.

Close by with the dogs

Traralgon Dog Park is the obvious off-lead run a short drive away, and Traralgon's cafe and restaurant strip covers the feed, with Cafe Evviva a handy local option. If the village is booked out, BIG4 Traralgon Park Lane Holiday Park and Motel Traralgon are alternative stays in town.
