King River Palms Caravan Park

King River Palms Caravan Park sits on the banks of the King River at Willyung, a short drive from central Albany. The park's own site describes it as a family and pet friendly caravan park right on the river, and dogs are welcome on the camping and caravan sites, so a riverfront stay with your dog is an easy ask on the south coast.

Dogs at King River Palms

Well-behaved dogs are permitted on powered and unpowered camping and caravan sites, and some grassy sites have direct river frontage where a leash walk along the water is part of the routine. Reports from campers mention fenced sites being available, which helps if your dog needs a contained space. Inside the park, keep your dog on a lead and clean up after them straight away.

Pet-friendly cabins can be arranged on request, but they are not guaranteed across all cabin types or dates, so call the park on (08) 9844 3232 before you book to confirm which cabins take dogs and what conditions apply. Fees and limits are not published, and the park is old-school enough that a phone call settles everything.

Max: Ring ahead about cabins, pet-friendly ones are by arrangement only, sites are the safe bet.

The vibe

This is a family-run park with a relaxed, low-key feel rather than a resort operation. The standout for guests is the water: free canoes are available so you can get on the King River without leaving the park, and the amenities are regularly described as clean. Owners have a reputation for being welcoming, which extends to the four-legged guests.

Getting there and parking

The park is on Chester Pass Road at Willyung, on Albany's outskirts, with drive-through access for caravans and plenty of space on the sites themselves. Being out of the town centre means quiet nights, but Albany's shops, fuel and pubs are only a short drive away for supplies.

Close by with the dogs

City of Albany rules require dogs to be on a lead no longer than two metres in public places unless you are in a signed off-leash area, so keep that in mind for walks around Willyung. If the river parks are full, Acclaim Albany Holiday Park is another option closer to town. For coffee, HazBeanz Finestkind Coffee is a local stop, and Due South does waterfront meals in Albany.
