Goondiwindi Tourist Park

Goondiwindi Tourist Park sits on Hungerford Street on the Macintyre River at Goondiwindi, the border town where the Newell and Leichhardt highways meet the Queensland line. The park covers the full spread: cabins, powered sites and camping, with the cabin end modern and the sites shaded by mature trees.

Dogs at the Goondiwindi Tourist Park

The practical approach for dog owners: call the park when you book, be straight about the number and size of dogs, and confirm whether your party is going into a pet-eligible cabin or onto a powered site. Traveller feedback points to the dog cabins sitting in the quieter back sections, so ask for a site away from the amenities block if your dog is a watchful sleeper.

House rules to expect: dogs stay on the lead outside your own cabin or site and are not left unattended. The park's ten acres include a billabong where ducks and possums keep dogs entertained, and the riverside paths along the levee carry the council's waste-bag dispensers for the morning laps.

The vibe

This is a riverside tourist park in the classic mould: camp kitchen, room to spread, and the Macintyre walking paths along the levee right at the boundary for leashed morning laps. The border position means you get New South Wales and Queensland offerings in one town, and the park stays busy with travellers splitting long hauls between Brisbane and Moree or Dubbo.

Close by with the dogs

Heading east on the Cunningham Highway, Inglewood makes the coffee stop: Finlay and Sons and the Inglewood Inn both sit on the route, with Monty's Fusions as the third option in the same strip. Find more dog friendly stays across Queensland for the border run.
