At the time of posting these details all accommodation stated that it was dog friendly. The accommodation is listed in no preference of order or recommendation. The information is supplied by our local dog clubs which on their recommendation may change occasionally.
Many past opportunities for accommodation were lost when privileges provided by hotels, motels & private accommodation were abused & tenants responsibilities were ignored or blatantly disrespected. We as exhibitors, show & event management, dog owners & fanciers need to respect the existence of these facilities and ensure that they are available for the next people who need to use them.
There are powered sites within Exhibition Park (EPIC) a short distance from Dogs ACT Canine Complex. The sites are maintained by the showground & Dogs ACT charged for abuse of area or rubbish removal so please keep the areas clean.
Bookings are through Dogs ACT on behalf of clubs & the showground authority (except for the Canberra Royal). Please phone (02) 6241 4404 to book
- Dogs ACT hours are 9.30am to 2.30pm Tuesday to Thursday.
- Please phone 02 – 6241 4404 or email admin@dogsact.org.au
- All camping must be pre-booked and pre-paid. Rates are $33.00 per night. A surcharge of $5 will be added if not pre-booked.
- The form to complete is here for camping bookings.
- You must contact Dogs ACT to book powered sites also, please talk to office about your requirements at time of booking.
- A site map of EPIC areas and gates to enter/exit is posted here for your ease of access.
IMPORTANT – If there no campers pre-booked before the show/event weekend, then power and showers facilities will NOT be available.
Note: Dogs ACT are looking into the facility for exhibitors to book their camping at the same time as their entries. More information to follow.
