Hillcrest Holiday Park is a quiet, shaded caravan park at the mouth of the Burrum River in Burrum Heads, and it takes dogs on its powered sites, but only with prior approval from management.
The pet policy. Pets are generally allowed, but you need to call ahead and get approval before you book, dogs are not a given the way they are at some parks. Dogs are permitted on powered and unpowered sites; it is not clearly confirmed whether dogs can stay in the park's cabins, so ask directly if that is your plan. A modest daily pet fee has historically applied, confirm the current rate when you call. Pets are not permitted during peak periods such as Christmas and Easter school holidays, so this is an off-peak stay for dog owners. Declare your pet at booking and keep it under control, leashing near neighbouring sites is the safe default even where the park doesn't spell out a strict leash rule.
The place. The park is known for mature shade trees, a peaceful riverside setting good for fishing and relaxing, and easy paved access from the main road. Office hours can be limited, so plan your arrival time rather than turning up outside the window.
Location and nearby. Dog-friendly beaches along the Burrum River and oceanfront are a short walk away, and the village of Burrum Heads itself is quiet and walkable with your dog. Hervey Bay is about 30 minutes' drive for a wider range of pet-friendly options.
Before you book. Call ahead for pet approval rather than assuming, confirm whether you're travelling in peak or off-peak season since pets are excluded over Christmas and Easter, and clarify the fee and whether a cabin stay is an option at all.
