To take advantage of this, Camplify has teamed up with pet accessory specialists Stylish Hound to create ‘pawfect’ dog friendly caravans and campervans.
Up until 16 August, travellers who book a long weekend (Friday to Sunday or Saturday to Monday) in the decked out Millie the Vintage Millard or Van Morrison, the dedicated dog friendly caravan and campervan, will be treated to a doggy’s dream.
The vans will be kitted out with an array of playful and high-quality essentials from Stylish Hound, making it the ultimate puppy friendly holiday. Each guest will also receive an adorable take-home comfy matching pyjama set for them and their pup.

Each van comes with a cosy dog blanket to keep your pup warm on those winter camping trips.

To ensure pups can swim safely and have fun doing so, both dedicated dog vans come with a Stylish Hound swim jacket, meaning owners and their furry friends can revel in the water.
To make sure you’re prepared on this adventure, the vans come equipped with adventure packs that include a handy pouch for treats, poo bags and a water bottle. as well as a selection of Stylish Hound no-pull harnesses for a variety of dog sizes.
Camplify founder Justin Hales said that the difficulty he and his wife had finding dog-friendly vans was actually where the idea for the caravan booking platform was born.
“We recognise that pets are important members of the family, and are thrilled to see our community of van owners embrace and welcome them to the holiday experience,” Mr Hales said.
“In fact, almost half of our Australian fleet welcomes furry friends, so there’s thousands of vans to choose from.
Mille the dedicated dog caravan is available to book from $80 per day and Van Morrison, the dedicated dog campervan, is available from $160 per day.
