Ocean View Tourist Park

Ocean View Tourist Park is a caravan park on the edge of Landsborough, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, where the grounds are tidy, the amenities are consistently described as clean, and the outlook lives up to the name. It is a practical base rather than a resort: cabins and sites, a camp kitchen, and a short drive from both the Glass House Mountains and the coast beaches.

Dogs at the Ocean View Tourist Park

The park publishes a clear pet policy, and it is worth reading before you book. Dogs and cats are allowed, but on application and by prior arrangement only, so do not assume a pet is welcome until the park has confirmed it. Pets are restricted to the caravan and tent sites: they are not permitted in cabins, and they are not permitted in the amenities buildings at any time. Once on site, dogs must be leashed at all times and never left unattended.

In practice that makes the park a good match for touring travellers with a dog in a caravan or tent setup, and a poor match if you were planning a cabin stay. Ring ahead with your dates and pet details, because the arrangement step is mandatory rather than a formality.

The vibe

Reviews regularly single out the cleanliness of the amenities block and the condition of the grounds, and the elevated position gives several sites and cabins an ocean view that surprises people expecting an inland park. The camp kitchen gives you an indoor fallback on wet evenings, and the park's small size keeps things quiet after dark.

Getting there and parking

The park is at 2 Old Maleny Road, Landsborough, just off the main route through town. The train station is close by, which matters if you are travelling with a mix of vehicles, and the drive to the Glass House Mountains towns takes minutes rather than hours.

While you're out there

Pioneer Park Fenced Dog Park is the suburb's fenced off-leash option and an easy drive from the gate. The Ewen Maddock Dam main track is the best leg stretch nearby, and the Landsborough Pub is the local watering hole after a day of it.
