Mapleton Cabins & Caravan Park

Mapleton Cabins & Caravan Park sits on the Blackall Range in the Sunshine Coast hinterland at 85 Obi Obi Road, a quiet park with cabins, cottages and powered and unpowered camping and caravan sites that takes dogs by prior arrangement.

Dogs at Mapleton Cabins & Caravan Park

Pets are accepted on application when you book, and the details depend on where you stay. Dogs are a straightforward yes on the camping and caravan sites, while cabin and cottage stays vary by accommodation type, so clear your pet with management at the time of booking rather than assuming. Large dogs may need prior approval, and a pre-authorisation bond applies to pet stays.

Once approved, the conditions are the usual park rules: your dog stays on a leash around the park at all times, you clean up after them including toileting and shedding hair, and any damage is on your account. Part of the park operates as long-term residency with stricter rules, so confirm your dates and accommodation style directly. Pet fees are not clearly published, so ask when booking.

Max: confirm three things when you book, whether your cabin type takes dogs, the pet fee, and whether a bigger dog needs prior approval.

The park setup

The park spreads across acres of greenery on the range, with cabins on verandahs, a BBQ area and a pizza oven, plus powered sites for caravanners. Reviews point to clean cabins and a relaxed, quiet setup, and Mapleton village with its pub, bakery and views over the coast is a short walk or drive away. It suits campers and caravanners travelling with a dog, and cabin guests once they have confirmed their specific accommodation takes pets.

Close by with the dogs

Mapleton's own Mapleton Dog Park is a fenced off-lead park at Delicia Road near the Lilyponds, an easy run from the park gates for a proper free run. In town, the Mapleton Public House and La Galette 2.0 are dog-friendly pub stops for lunch.

More options are on the Queensland dog-friendly stays list, and the local guide is at Mapleton.
