Jacobs Well Tourist Park

A quiet bayside caravan park on southern Moreton Bay that genuinely builds for dogs. Jacobs Well Tourist Park sits on Pimpama Jacobs Well Road, a short stroll from the water, and pairs powered sites and cabins with its own fenced off-leash area and dog-friendly beach access nearby. If you want a base where the dog isn't an afterthought, this is the pick in Jacobs Well.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome on powered caravan and camper-trailer sites and in the park's designated pet-friendly cabins, not in the standard cabins. Limits are two dogs per site or one dog per cabin. Pet approval is required before you arrive, and dogs must be council-registered and fully vaccinated. Keep dogs leashed everywhere in the park except the fenced off-leash zone, and out of public spaces like the camp kitchen, BBQ areas and amenities blocks. Barking that carries isn't tolerated, and cleanup is required immediately, with bag dispensers provided. Fees and exact conditions can change, so confirm current pet terms when you book.

The place. It's a spacious, laid-back park geared to caravans, camper trailers, buses and motorhomes, with waterview sites for those chasing the bay. A fenced dog off-leash area on-site is the standout, and lorikeets are regular visitors.

Location and nearby. The park is walking distance to a dog-friendly beach, plus a local vet, bakery, bottle shop and convenience store. The nearby Jacobs Well Bayside Tavern has a pet-friendly beer garden, and the quiet residential streets and shoreline make for easy on-leash walks. Riesenweber Park's 24/7 fenced dog park is a short drive if you want more room to run.

Who it suits. Best for caravanners and campers who want water, a fenced run and dog-friendly food within walking distance. Cabin travellers should book early, as pet-friendly cabins are limited and one dog only.

Before you book. Get pet approval sorted ahead of time and have registration and vaccination details ready. Confirm you're on a powered site or in a pet-friendly cabin, not a standard one, and check the current pet fee for your dates.
