BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Townsville

BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Townsville is a full holiday park in Deeragun on Townsville's northern side, with a jumping pillow, splash pad, mini golf and BBQ facilities. For dog owners the pitch is simple: this works if you are arriving in your own van, caravan, motorhome or tent, not if you are planning a cabin stay.

Dogs at BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Townsville

The park's booking terms allow dogs in guests' own vans, caravans, motorhomes or tents on powered and ensuite sites. They are not allowed inside any park cabin or villa under any circumstances, so do not book a cabin expecting your dog to sleep inside it; if you are in a cabin, the dog can join you on the veranda on a lead. Ensuite sites are the pick for dog travellers, since your van gets a private bathroom and you skip the shared amenities block.

Standard park rules apply outside your site: dogs on a secure leash at all times, never left unattended, and kept out of communal areas including the pool, splash pad, playgrounds and camp kitchens. Confirm any pet fee, weight cap and the behaviour conditions when you book, and check in your dog at reception on arrival.

Max: read the accommodation type carefully before you pay. A cabin looks like the easy option, but your dog can only sit on the veranda, not come inside.

Getting there and what is nearby

Deeragun sits just off the Bruce Highway on the northern fringe of Townsville, a convenient base for the drive north, the run into the city or the trip to the Magnetic Island ferry. Off the highway the closest dog stops are Sticks and Grinds in Deeragun and Junction Cafe North Shore in Burdell, both a few minutes away, and Sanctum Dog Park at Mount Low gives your dog an off-leash run to break up the drive.

More options are on the QLD pet friendly stays guide and the Deeragun destination page.
