Hi
We will be arriving in
Darwin later this week and have not pre booked a caravan park that is pet friendly.
The Oasis Tourist Park is booked solid for the next 2 months and I am waiting on a reply from the Coolalinga Caravan Park.
I heard in our travels you can
camp at the
Darwin Showground with pets, can someone please confirm if this is correct.
Does anyone know any other caravan park or property that is pet friendly we can stay at , we are self sufficient so don't require power or water
Thanks

Hi,
we have stayed at Tumbling Waters for the last 3 x years. It's a great place and the people running it are easy going with nothing being a problem. It's a little way out of town (about 40 min) but it's cheaper and friendlier than the more central CP's. It's right next to Berry Springs,
Territory Wildlife Park and gives you a head start for
Litchfield NP!
We have had dogs with no problems. There is a
camping area and a caravan area. The caravan area has better amenities (as of October 2011), but this is not much of an issue. You just walk over to the caravan side!
I'd say you couldn't go wrong at Tumbling Waters.

Hi Wayne
Unfortunately Oasis and Tumbling Waters are both booked out until the 17th June on
Coolalinga has vacancies but is very expensive compare to the above parks.
I was also surprised that Coolalinga also charges $2 per day per animal ( not very pet friendly) and as we have 2 its an extra $4 per day. When I spoke to them today the guy on the other end of the phone was not helpful , like pulling teeth and boarding on being rude, so he won't be getting our business
Darwin has the V8 Super Cars on 15-17th June & I was told today from 2 guys that left yesterday the place is already crazy and stay away if we can.
So we will stay away until after the 17th.
Cheers

Sorry to semi hijak your thread :) however it appears that we will be arriving in 'Cowboy Country' early Sept. for both work and play.
We were last in town about 6 years ago with our old boxer and most central parks were very unfriendly towards dog owners in general . [our dog even had her own good behaviour passport from MANY different parks].
Fortunately we were able to stay on a friends property.
I was wondering as to how the situation is with parks in
Darwin in general is nowdays with INPEX drawing many workers to the area?
Thanks , and sorry for the hijack.

Darwin is heading the way of the top of WA, many people now pay $300 a week just to sub let a room. We have just bought a house for what would be considered a STUPID figure down south. Now have our 2 bedroom apartment up for sale, if it doesn't sell it will easily rent for $650 a week! Crazy times.
