Mt Larcom Tourist Park

Mt Larcom Tourist Park is a family-run garden park just off the Bruce Highway at Mount Larcom, roughly midway between Gladstone and Rockhampton. It takes dogs as a normal part of a stay rather than a grudging exception, which makes it an easy overnight stop for travellers on the A1 with a dog in the car.

Dogs at Mt Larcom Tourist Park

Dogs are welcome at the powered and unpowered caravan and camping sites, and in a set of pet-friendly deluxe cabins with prior approval at booking. Fees and size limits are not published, so confirm both when you book. Leads or tethers apply in the main campground and public areas, and there is an open space nearby for supervised off-lead time once you know it is clear of other dogs.

The vibe

The park is landscaped and kept to a high standard, with clean amenities, a camp kitchen, fire pits and a viewpoint built for watching the sunrise over Mount Larcom itself. Guest feedback consistently praises the cleanliness and how welcoming the park is to travellers with pets, including grey nomads working the Gladstone to Rockhampton run.

Getting there

The park sits at 7 Balfour Street, right off the A1. The town's pub, post office and cafes are within walking distance, so you can leave the car on the site for a night or two.

While you're out there

The Royal Hotel Mount Larcom is a short stroll away, handy if you are comparing stops in the town or passing through again.

Before you book

Call ahead to confirm which cabins are pet-friendly and whether a pet fee applies, since the published policy does not spell out the numbers. Outside of that, this is a straightforward, well-kept base for a one or two night break on the Bruce Highway.
