Atkinson Dam Holiday Park

Atkinson Dam Holiday Park is a country-style caravan and camping park on the edge of Atkinson Dam, about an hour west of Brisbane, and dogs are welcome throughout the camping and caravan areas on a lead.

The pet policy. Dogs are accepted on application and must be on a lead at all times, with mess cleaned up immediately. They are not permitted inside any cabin, and not permitted in the pool area. There is no published size limit, but the park does not list a fixed pet fee online, so confirm this when you book. Pet bedding cannot be washed in the guest laundry.

The place. Powered and unpowered sites for caravans, campervans and tents, a camp kitchen, fire pit, clean amenities and a pool that dogs can't use. It is a working rural park rather than a resort, so bring your own water bowl and food, supplies on site are limited.

Location and nearby. The park backs onto Atkinson Dam itself. Seqwater, which manages the dam, allows dogs on lead in the surrounding day-use areas but not on the foreshore, the boat ramp, or in the water, since it's a drinking water catchment. Lowood, around 20-25 minutes away, has a small main street with some outdoor-seating cafes worth checking for pet-friendliness before you go.

Who it suits. Caravanners and campers after a quiet, dam-side weekend with the dog rather than a cabin stay, since cabins are off-limits to pets here.

Before you book. Confirm the pet fee and site rules directly with the park, since the exact figures aren't published online.
