Who's at the park?

See which mates are heading to Lake Samsonvale this afternoon, check it's not 37° and shut, and say you're coming.

Plan the whole trip

Pick your stops, see the forecast at each one, and shift a leg a week if the wet is coming. Camps that take dogs, vets within reach.

Why Muttmates

The only trip planner that knows what the weather does to a dog.

Camps directories tell you where you can stay. Muttmates tells you when it will be 38° at Rainbow Beach and that you should walk before eight, which months Cooktown is a swamp, and where the nearest vet is to every stop on your lap.
