Pet-Friendly Stays at Nicholson River Holiday Park

Dog Policy & Owner Agreement

We’re proud to offer pet-friendly accommodation here at Nicholson River Holiday Park – just a short drive from Lakes Entrance and Bairnsdale. We know dogs are part of the family, and we want your stay to be as enjoyable for them as it is for you.

To make sure everyone has a safe and relaxed experience, we ask all dog owners to follow a few simple rules during their stay.

Before You Book

Dog Swimming

We’re a pet-friendly park, but all pets must be pre-approved before booking.


Please call us directly to discuss your dog before making a reservation.

Approval is at the Park Manager’s discretion and may be withdrawn at any time.

To keep things simple and manageable for all, only one dog is permitted per site, unless explicitly approved by management.

Please note: Dogs are not allowed in any cabins, cottages, or ensuite sites under any circumstances. We understand your dog may be part of the family, but to maintain high cleanliness standards and for the comfort of all guests, these accommodations remain pet-free.
