Browse campervans and caravans for hire in Perth if you already know your dates.

Planning a caravan trip around Perth with a dog in tow takes a bit more research than a standard getaway. Most of the parks listed here are within 30–40 minutes of Perth CBD, so you're never far from the city if you need to be. Camplify trip data shows spring is the peak season for pet-friendly travel in this region, with September to November consistently busy, so booking early is worth it.

One thing worth knowing before you start planning: fleet hire companies like Apollo, Maui, and Britz have blanket no-pet policies. Camplify's peer-to-peer model is different. Individual owners set their own rules, which makes Camplify the only practical option for hiring a pet-friendly campervan or caravan in Australia. You can filter by pet-friendly listings directly when you search. If towing isn't your thing, delivery is available on caravans too, which we've noted after each park below.

For a broader look at options across the state, the guide to best caravan parks near Perth is a solid starting point. If you're travelling with kids as well as a dog, the 24 caravan parks your kids will beg to visit again guide has family-friendly picks too.

The park has powered sites suitable for caravans and motorhomes, and the surrounding area has flat, walkable paths that are easy for dog owners to navigate in the morning or evening.

Coastal and valley caravan parks near Perth

Discovery Parks - Woodman Point

Discovery Parks - Woodman Point occupies one of the better positions of any caravan park in the Perth region: a coastal setting on the Cockburn Sound foreshore, about 30 km south of the city. The combination of beachside access and pet-friendly facilities makes it one of the standout options on this list for dog owners.

The park has powered sites and a range of accommodation options, and dogs are permitted in designated areas. The foreshore itself is walkable, and the surrounding Woodman Point Regional Park has trails suitable for dogs on leads. Camplify owners in the area suggest checking current seasonal pet restrictions before you go, as some coastal parks in WA limit dog access during summer (December to January) to protect nesting shorebirds.

A pet fee applies, and hirers who've stayed at Woodman Point rate the coastal setting and the relaxed pace highly, particularly for spring trips when the wildflowers along the nearby trails are at their best. The park's facilities include a camp kitchen, amenities block, and laundry, and the overall standard is consistent with the Discovery Parks network.

The park welcomes pets and is popular among Camplify travellers who want a relaxed, semi-rural atmosphere without straying too far from Perth. The surrounding area has a good network of flat, dog-friendly walking paths along the Swan River foreshore, and the valley's quiet back roads are easy to explore on foot with a dog in tow. Recommended by owners in the area for spring visits when the river trails are at their greenest.

Pet fees apply, and dogs should be kept on lead within the park grounds. The facilities are well-maintained, with powered sites, a camp kitchen, and a pool.
