sllebasi Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) we dont have many caravan parks here anymore. will write the names of them and then you coulc enquire with them individually. Walkabout palms caravan park - its at the entrance to Townsville - dont know if they take dogs or not. Rowes Bay caravan park - its close to the beach, I am pretty sure within walking distance to off leash dog walk on the beach. Its also close to the city centre and strand. Bluewater park caravan park, rollingstone caravan park and I think there is one near woodlands, these are all 15 - 30 mins north of Townsville (they are still the outer suburbs) I am pretty sure that these all take dogs cause i looked into these when I wanted a long weekaway. Best bet is to look at the northern suburbs - saunders beach, mt low, bushland beach but it is at least a 20 minute drive back to townsville proper of which many many people do. hope this helps a little edited to add: if you are doing touristy things and looking for somewhere for the dogs to stay for the day, there are about 5 boarding kennels at the northern end where all the beaches are - I can recommend beaches boarding kennels Edited August 14, 2011 by sllebasi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poodle wrangler Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 We did a trip around Oz with a 27kg and 7kg poodles. Many caravan parks say "No dogs" but aren't. A few told us about previous bad experiences. Many managers have dogs. Is worth asking if dogs are well-behaved and you come across as a normal, responsible sort of person.
