Camping with Dogs Victoria
Most national parks across Australia and indeed the world, don’t allow dogs and other pets to be taken into them or conservation reserves. It should be noted, that dogs even in your car or on a lead are also not allowed into National Parks in Victoria. Assistance dogs, or dogs that provide support for people with disabilities, are generally exempted and are generally allowed to accompany their handlers into national parks and reserves.

- Please consider the need to take your dog camping before you travel. Consider the location, the car trip, other people.
- Make sure dogs are allowed at the campsite before you go, remembering that many commercial operators and national parks nad reserves simply don’t allow dogs.
- Under no circumstances allow you dogs in amenity blocks or campers kitchen
- If you are camping at a commercial caravan park, don’t allow your dogs in cabins, unless it is specifically a dog-friendly cabin
- Noy everyone likes dogs – some people, and small children are scared of dogs. Control your dog at all times.
- Keep your dog on a leash at all times
- As the owner of the dog, you are responsible for the cleaning up after your pet which also includes toilet duties too!
