Oakwood Caravan Park Bundaberg

Oakwood Caravan Park sits at 15 Old Gin Gin Road in Oakwood, about 7 kilometres north of the Bundaberg CBD and handy to the turnoff for Agnes Water and Seventeen Seventy. It is a quiet, country-scale park ringed by cane fields and macadamia trees, and it is one of the more genuinely dog-friendly stops around Bundaberg if you are travelling under your own rig. The trade-off is simple: dogs are welcome on sites, never in cabins.

Dogs at the park

Pets are welcome on the powered and unpowered sites, with concrete and grass pads to choose from, and pet-friendly powered sites start from $32 a night for a couple. Kui Parks members get a discount on published rates. Dogs are strictly not allowed in the park cabins, so this is a caravan, camper trailer and tent option only. Animals must be kept under control and on a lead when outside your site, and the park may ask you to sign a pet agreement on arrival. Declare your dog when booking and call ahead on 0499 652 849 to confirm the current conditions rather than assuming at the gate.

The park itself is geared to travellers who want a calm base rather than a resort: a camp kitchen in a garden setting with BBQ, sink, microwave and kettle, a clean amenities block, and a coin-operated laundry. The cane-field edges and tree lines make for easy on-lead walks without leaving the property, and the layout stays quiet even in peak season.

Max: a lead rule means no roaming, but the quiet cane-field edges make for calm, controlled walks. Book the pet-friendly site specifically so there are no surprises at check-in.

Close by with the dogs

Town is a short drive south for supplies and coffee. For an off-lead run, Daph Geddes Park Fenced Dog Park in Bundaberg East and Bundaberg North Dog Park are the closest dedicated spaces. If you would rather compare before committing, Midtown Caravan Park at Millbank is the central in-town alternative and Bundaberg East Cabin & Tourist Park sits on the south side, though check their dog terms separately because cabin-heavy parks rarely match Oakwood's site policy.

This suits self-contained travellers with a van, camper or tent who want a peaceful, well-kept base within reach of Bundaberg and the Discovery Coast. Bundaberg summers run hot, so pick a shaded site and walk the dog early or late.
