Burnett Heads Holiday Park

Burnett Heads Holiday Park sits on the waterfront at 2 Paul Mittelheuser Street, where the Burnett River meets the coast. It is a well-regarded, dog-friendly park, but dogs are restricted to camping and caravan sites rather than the cabins, so it suits campers and van travellers more than anyone after indoor accommodation.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome on powered and unpowered camping and caravan sites, and management asks you to apply so they can check suitability. Pets must be on a lead at all times and under control across the grounds. Pet fees may apply and policies can change, so confirm dogs, your specific site type and any fee at the time of booking. Dogs are typically not allowed in the cabins.

The place. Shaded, tidy sites for caravans, motorhomes and tents, with the amenities regularly praised for cleanliness. Drinking water and public toilets are on-site, and the boat ramp is roughly 400 metres away, which makes it a popular fishing and boating base.

Location and nearby. About 15 to 20 minutes from Bundaberg CBD. Oaks Beach is a short walk for an on-leash coastal stroll (dogs are not allowed on the patrolled swimming beach itself), and the marina and foreshore paths are good for walking. The fenced off-leash park at Jack Strathdee Memorial Park is close by, and Kellys (By the Sea) cafe welcomes dogs outdoors.

Before you book. Ring ahead to register your dog, confirm the pet fee and check which sites are available - shaded riverside sites go quickly in peak periods. Good for campers who want water access and an off-leash park within reach.
