Gatton Caravan Park, part of the Freedom Lifestyle Parks group, is a working park in the heart of the Lockyer Valley, about 90 minutes west of Brisbane. It caters mainly to farm workers, contractors and travelling backpackers, which makes it a practical, budget-minded base if you are moving through the region with a dog rather than a polished tourist park.
Staying with your dog
Dogs are welcome overnight on the powered and unpowered camping and caravan sites, and there are designated pet-friendly cabins as well. Non-pet cabins, amenity blocks and communal areas stay off limits, and bookings are generally capped at one or two pets. Expect a pet fee of roughly $20 per night, varying by season, and confirm the exact rate and cabin availability when you book, as only a handful of cabins take animals.
The place itself
The park runs to self-contained cabins and caravans, powered sites, newly renovated amenity blocks and a communal area with a pool, TV and games room. The atmosphere is community-minded and international, and the location is genuinely walkable: the town centre, shops, pubs and the sports and recreation centre are all on foot from the gate.
Out and about
Gatton is farm country, so morning walks take in wide streets and crop country rather than tourist strips. The Gatton Off-Leash Dog Park gives your dog a proper run close to town, and the Laidley Off-Leash Dog Park is a short drive south if you are exploring the valley. For coffee, jak and Mo Taste Co is in town.
If you would rather a motel room than a site, the Trip Motel Gatton also takes dogs and sits right in town. More options are on the Queensland pet friendly stays guide and the Gatton destination page.
