What is glamping, and what’s in the tent?
Glamping is a tent somebody else has already put up, furnished and heated, with a real bed made up inside it. You arrive with a bag rather than a boot…
Hi, I’m Max. I’m a good boy. And this is my guide to Marysville.
I’ve chased butterflies here, splashed in rivers, and rolled in more leaves than I can count. If your human is planning a holiday, tell them this: Marysville is one of the best spots in Victoria for a dog-friendly escape.
From long walks and picnic naps to cosy cabins where you’re actually welcome (not just “allowed”), it’s the kind of place where tails never stop wagging. You’ll want to start by sniffing out the pet-friendly cabin accommodation at Marysville Holiday Park.
Marysville Holiday Park offers proper pet-friendly accommodation. You’re not an afterthought here. You’re a guest. There are select cabins where dogs can stay comfortably with their humans (Garden Studios are a good pick), and we even spotted water bowls and shady spots near the cabin decks.
There’s plenty of open space to explore, and the friendly staff are used to seeing paws around the place – so there’s no need to pretend we’re not shedding on the doormat.
Once you’ve settled in, it’s time to hit the tracks. There are great local trails nearby, many of them just a short drive or walk from the park. For something low-effort but high-reward, stroll along the riverbank just behind the park – perfect for early-morning sniffs and wading in the shallows.
Got energy to burn? Ask your human to check out the walking trails around Steavenson River. And if you’re lucky, they might let you tag along on a quiet riverside fishing trip. Bring snacks.
One thing dogs and humans agree on: a good picnic goes a long way. You’ll find plenty of grassy spots around the park and the surrounding town where you can lie in the sun, chase a stick, or sneak a bite of cheese if they’re not watching.
If the weather’s right, ask them to pack up some food and make use of the on-site facilities — BBQs, camp kitchens, and sheltered areas mean everyone eats well.
Want more space to sniff? Come midweek. It’s quieter, calmer, and there’s more cabin availability for you and your human to spread out. Less traffic on the road. Fewer other dogs trying to sniff the same tree. Win-win.
If your human’s looking for a dog-friendly holiday in Victoria, Marysville should be at the top of the list. The walks are great. The cabins are comfy. And best of all? You don’t get left behind.
Explore our full range of accommodation options and book yourself the holiday you deserve. Good boy.
