The Wharf Maryborough

The Wharf Maryborough is a riverside RV park and campground at 71 Wharf Street, on the banks of the Mary River with its own moorings, and it welcomes dogs across the park. For self-contained travellers, the draw is the combination of water views and a three-minute walk into Maryborough's town centre, which is rare in a caravan park.

Dogs at the park

The park is advertised as pet-friendly and dogs are welcome throughout the RV park, across caravans, motorhomes and tents, on lead. No size limit is published, so the usual caravan-park rules apply and it is worth confirming pet sites directly when you book, as they can be limited. Sites run at $40 per night for powered and $35 unpowered.

The place itself

The setting is the selling point: a safe riverside frontage on the Mary River with moorings and water views, modern clean amenities, laundry facilities and communal BBQ areas. Reviewers mention the steak sandwich at the kiosk, and the walk into town takes about three minutes, so dinner or supplies are an easy lead walk away. It is built for vans, motorhomes and campers rather than anyone after a serviced room.

Close by with the dogs

For an off-lead stretch after the drive, the city has dedicated fenced options including Maryborough's off-leash dog park and Rambo dog park. For coffee, Toast Espresso Bar and the Customs House Hotel are both within walking distance of the gate.

Max: The Mary River frontage is the whole point of staying here, so do the evening lead walk along the bank when the heat drops off and the moorings light up.
