BIG4 Whitsunday Islands Holiday Park sits at 326 Shute Harbour Rd, Flametree, spread across 7 acres of tropical rainforest between Airlie Beach and Shute Harbour. The decisive detail for dog owners: the park offers four dedicated dog-friendly cabins year-round, plus pet-friendly powered and unpowered sites, but every booking requires you to call ahead to pre-approve your dog.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcome all year round, subject to a direct pre-approval process. You must contact the park before booking to confirm your dog is accepted and sign the "BIG4 Dog Policy Dog Owner Agreement." Dogs must be leashed at all times and supervised. They are generally not permitted in common indoor areas such as the camp kitchen and amenities. No specific pet fee is confirmed in the source material: reviews suggest no extra charge in some cases, while the official requirement is the pre-approval agreement. Treat any fee as unconfirmed until you speak with the park directly.
The place. The park is a relaxed, leafy setup with a solar-heated swimming pool and an outdoor cinema. Accommodation spans the four dog-friendly cabins along with spacious powered and unpowered sites for vans, camping, cars, caravans, and boats. Common indoor areas are off-limits to dogs, so plan meals and shower runs around that.
Location and nearby. The park is on the main road, easily accessible by car or caravan, and positioned as a gateway between Airlie Beach and Shute Harbour. Conway National Park walking trails are nearby, with leash rules applying. In Airlie Beach itself, you can head to Dickie's Dogs for a dog-friendly beach or park stretch, or stop in at Rufus & Co. Cafe. Local pet-friendly beaches exist across the Whitsundays region, but always check signage for off-leash status.

Who it suits. Best for owners travelling with vans or tents who want a nature-focused base, or those happy to book one of four cabins early. The leash-everywhere rule and indoor-area restrictions make it less suited to dogs that need constant off-leash exercise on-site. Given only four dog-friendly cabins exist, call ahead as far in advance as practical, particularly during peak periods.
When to go. The tropical setting is a drawcard year-round, but the Whitsunday heat makes the cooler months from May to September the most comfortable for walking a leashed dog around the park and nearby trails.
