Landsborough Holiday Park

Landsborough Holiday Park is a relaxed, semi-rural caravan and camping park at 1 Eudlo Street in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, a budget base for the Glass House Mountains, Maleny and Australia Zoo. It takes dogs, but only on the sites, so this is a stay for campers and van travellers rather than cabin bookers.

Dogs at the park

Dogs are welcome on powered sites, grass campsites and unpowered sites. They are not permitted in any of the cabins, and not inside the amenities blocks or laundry either. The park does not publish a fixed weight limit or pet fee, and conditions apply, so declare your dog when you book and confirm the current terms; arriving with an undeclared pet can attract a cleaning fee. On site, the expectation is lead on everywhere and mess picked up straight away, which also matches the lead rules in the surrounding streets under Sunshine Coast Council's dog laws.

The setup

A quiet, family-run-feeling park with a camp kitchen, barbecue area and well-reviewed clean amenities. Reviews mention a pond with ducks, which some dogs will find fascinating, and the sound of passing trains, worth knowing if your dog is noise sensitive. Sites are grassy and the setting is more suburban-rural than resort. It suits travellers who want hinterland access and coast day trips without paying coastal prices.

Close by with the dogs

Pioneer Park Fenced Dog Park is the local off-lead run, and the Ewen Maddock Dam Main Track starts nearby for an on-lead bushwalk by the water. The Landsborough Pub is in town for a pub meal. If sites are full, the dog-friendly Beerwah Caravan Park and Glasshouse Mountains Caravan and Camping Park are the nearest alternatives in the directory.

Max: Cabins are a hard no for dogs here, so book a site. Declare the dog when you reserve and you avoid the undeclared-pet cleaning fee entirely.

An honest, affordable hinterland camp where dogs on sites are genuinely welcome, with the mountains, the dam and the coast all an easy drive.
