We've recently moved to Borumba Deer Park in the Mary Valley. They have a $50 bond, and $2 a day for pets (multiples are fine, same price no matter how many you have). Bond is returned on check-out. They also have an area where people who wish to camp away from dogs (because some people don't like dogs) can do so. They also do not allow dogs in cabins of on-site vans, so there ARE dog-free zones.
They require dogs on leash at all times, and have a 2 acre paddock where you can run the dogs off-leash. You can also swim your dog in the creek, again on-leash. The leash rule is enforced - if dogs are seen/reported off-leash, owners are reminded (firmly) of the rules; they sign an agreement to abide by the rules at check in. Management takes a dim view of repeat offences.
Our two kelpies love it - they run in the paddock every morning, and on hot days, go for a swim in the creek on 5m rope lines. Happy dogs=happy people.

They charge $2 for having your pet there? Interesting I have heard of parks charging a fee for pets being in the park. great to hear of the offleash area, i hope more parks follow on and do this, although there is a high cost involved with fencing an off leash area, as we found out ourselves.

Hi Noelene - unpowered for 1 person is $13. Powered for 1 is $17. $50 refundable bond for pets, and $2 a day (because there ARE tossers out there who don't clean up, and someoneelse has to go around doing it).

Oh tell me about it. Our youngest is a little sod for not coming at times - especially if it's play time.
