Woodside Beach Caravan Park

Woodside Beach Caravan Park sits directly behind the dunes at Woodside Beach on Victoria's Gippsland coast, with its own path over to Ninety Mile Beach. For dog owners it is a simple proposition: a beachfront caravan park where dogs are welcome on sites, a beach out the back that stretches for kilometres, and a pet policy clear enough to plan around.

Dogs at the park

Per the park's own site, dogs are allowed on camping and caravan sites only and are not permitted in or around the cabins, so choose a site rather than a cabin if you are bringing a dog. Dogs must be kept on a reasonable length lead at all times and remain under control, and all waste must be bagged and binned. The lead rule is enforced park-wide, which keeps the dune paths and site lanes predictable for everyone.

Worth knowing

The beach access is the whole reason to come: Ninety Mile Beach runs unbroken to the horizon, and at this end of it the dog can have a long walk on sand with very few people around. Check local signage for any seasonal restrictions on the beach itself, and note the park is remote in the way Gippsland coastal parks are; Woodside township is small, so stock up in Sale or Maffra on the way in. Book a site rather than a cabin, and confirm the pet details on your reservation.

Close by with the dogs

Sale is the nearest service town, about half an hour inland: Sale The Dog Park is a proper fenced run for a leg stretch, and redd catt covers coffee on the drive through. If you want a second base in the region, BIG4 Sale Caravan Park also takes dogs on sites.
