Toowoomba Caravan Park

Toowoomba Caravan Park sits on Ruthven Street in Kearneys Spring, about 3km from the Toowoomba CBD, and it splits its pet policy cleanly in two: dogs stay freely on the powered and unpowered camping and caravan sites, while cabin stays are restricted to a single designated option, the Standard Studio - Pet Friendly.

Dogs at Toowoomba Caravan Park

On a site with your van or tent, the rules are straightforward. Dogs need to stay on a lead inside the park boundaries and you are responsible for cleaning up after them. Inside accommodation is where the conditions pile up: most cabins do not take dogs at all, and the Standard Studio - Pet Friendly requires approval from the manager at the time of booking, a signed pet agreement on arrival, and typically a limit of one pet per booking, though exceptions can be arranged with prior notice.

The one number worth knowing is $175. That is the cleaning fee if a pet ends up inside any cabin that has not been approved as pet-friendly, so if you have booked a standard cabin, leave the dog in the van or the site. Confirm your pet-friendly cabin directly with management when you reserve, since availability of that single studio type is limited.

Worth knowing

The park has direct access at the rear to the walking tracks and open grassed areas of West Creek Reserve, which is handy for morning walks without moving the car. Parking on site is ample for caravans, motorhomes and cars, and access off Ruthven Street is straightforward.

Close by with the dogs

A short drive puts you at the Queens Park dog off leash area in East Toowoomba for a proper off-lead run. For coffee, Ground Up Cafe is a central pick, and Fitzys Toowoomba covers a pub meal in town.
