What visitors mention
Pet policy
Yes, BIG4 Caloundra Waterfront allows dogs to stay overnight, but strictly on their designated caravan and camping sites. A summary of the pet policy: - Which Rooms: Pets are not permitted in cabins or any indoor roofed accommodation. They are only welcome on designated pet-friendly sites. Additionally, pets are generally only allowed outside of peak school holiday periods, and you must verify availability directly with the park. - Size Limit: Dogs must be under 25kg. Aggressive breeds or "bitey/barkey" dogs are not allowed. - Fee: Fees may vary depending on the time of year and the length of
BIG4 Caloundra Waterfront sits right on the Pumicestone Passage at 37-47 Maloja Avenue, a family holiday park with water frontage, a pool, jumping pillow and camp kitchen. Dogs are welcome, but only on designated powered and camping sites, never in cabins, so this is a stay for tent or van travellers rather than cabin bookers.
The pet policy. Dogs are allowed on designated pet-friendly powered and camping sites only, not in cabins or any indoor accommodation. Dogs must be under 25kg, and aggressive or persistently barking dogs are not accepted. A flat fee applies per pet per stay (around $10, confirm at booking). You must book by phone rather than online so the park can place you on a pet site, and pet availability is often restricted during peak QLD school holidays, so confirm before you travel.
The rules on site. Dogs must be leashed at all times, with no extendable leads, and are kept out of the amenities blocks, camp kitchen, pool, playground and reception. The park puts out dog-waste dispensers and bins, and you are responsible for cleaning up. At check-in, keep the dog in the vehicle or walk it outside with a partner while the driver registers.
The place. It is a waterfront park geared to fishing, boating and family stays, with the Passage and its foreshore right there. Water bowls and waste stations are dotted around the grounds.
Getting there. Reach it via the Bruce Highway and Caloundra Road. Parking is on your allocated site.
Nearby with the dogs. The Pumicestone Passage foreshore walk is on the doorstep for an on-lead stroll, and Caloundra's coastal dog-friendly beach zones and off-leash spots are a short drive. Check council signage for off-leash hours.

Before you book. Ring ahead, confirm your dog is under 25kg and that pet sites are open on your dates, and plan around the cabin-free, leashed-only setup. It suits an easygoing dog and a camping or caravan trip.
