What visitors mention
Pet policy
On site, dogs stay on a leash around the park grounds and owners clean up immediately, which is standard for a compact riverside park with shared lawns. Pet-friendly cabin allocations are small, so declare your dog when you book and call the park on +61 8 8572 7302 to confirm availability and any fee for your dates rather than assuming at the gate.
Wellington Caravan Park sits on Jervois Road in the small river town of Wellington, SA, where the Murray meets Lake Alexandrina at the free 24-hour punt crossing. It is a basic, well-kept park that generally welcomes dogs, and the riverside position does most of the selling.
Dogs at Wellington Caravan Park
Dogs are accepted across the powered and unpowered caravan and camping sites, and in a limited number of cabins by prior arrangement. Pet-friendly cabin allocations are small, so declare your dog when you book and call the park on +61 8 8572 7302 to confirm availability and any fee for your dates rather than assuming at the gate.

The vibe
Cabins are simple but clean, some with ensuite bathrooms, and the park keeps a quiet, small-town feel. The pub is an easy walk away for dinner, and the riverbank is right there for morning and evening walks, with the historic punt crossing a curiosity in its own right.
Getting there and parking
Wellington is about 20 minutes south of Murray Bridge on the Princes Highway route, and the park is signposted from the town centre. Parking is at your site or cabin as usual for a caravan park, so arriving with the dog walked and settled is easy.
Who it suits
Travellers with dogs crossing between the Fleurieu and the River Murray lakes, fishers, and anyone using Wellington as a quiet overnight base rather than a resort stay. If you want camp kitchens and jumping pillows, Tailem Bend down the road has bigger parks.
Before you book
Confirm the pet rules for your specific site or cabin at booking, keep a lead clipped on in shared areas, and note that pet-friendly cabins book out first in school holidays. The Wellington Courthouse in the same town is the group-accommodation alternative if your crew outgrows a cabin.
More options are catalogued in the South Australia pet friendly stays guide, and the town's other listings are on the Wellington destination page.
