Good morning all
Can anybody recommend a dog friendly & safe free camping spot or inexpensive caravan park within a 1/2 hour drive of Tullamarine Airport?
We have a 25' caravan and 2 small dogs and need to collect a passenger from the domestic terminal. I don't want to try and tug the van into the airport area.
Any advice appreciated
Regards
PeterM

Have you checking out the Melbourne Airport Caravan Village. It's a mere minutes from Melbourne International Airport. Hope this information is helpful. ;)

Hi Peter, there are 4 viewing areas on the airport border where we park and watch the planes coming in to land etc, good sized parking areas where you could unhitch your van, lock the tow hitch,and you are right outside the airport,your return trip to pick up your friend would take about 15mins ? Thats what i'd do. Good luck.
