Match Park to Your Pet: High energy dogs need big exercise areas and agility equipment. Senior pets need accessible facilities and shorter walks. Nervous dogs prefer fenced sites and quieter areas away from high traffic.
Book Early for Peak: Pet friendly cabins and fenced sites book out months in advance, especially at Christmas, Easter and school holidays. Many coastal parks have pet restrictions during peak periods. Consider shoulder seasons for better availability and rates.
Gather Essential Docs: Carry current vaccination certificates, council registration papers and pet insurance details. Email vaccination papers to parks before you arrive to speed up check in and avoid delays.
Pack for Pet Comfort: Bring familiar bedding, favourite toys, food and water bowls, leads, waste bags and first aid supplies. Research local vets and emergency contacts along your travel route.
Follow Park Rules: Follow leash requirements and designated pet areas. Clean up after your pet immediately. Never leave pets unattended and be considerate of noise levels. Following the rules protects the privilege for all pet owners.

Choosing Pet Friendly Parks over general accommodation makes a big difference with dedicated facilities that enhance rather than just tolerate your precious pets.
