Pomona Showground

Pomona Showground is a camping and caravan ground run by the Noosa Show Society, at the foot of Mt Cooroora in the Noosa hinterland. It is a straightforward, dog-friendly overnight option for campers: grassy, flat sites and country-show surrounds rather than a polished holiday park.

The pet policy. Dogs are allowed to stay overnight in the caravan park and camping area, and must be kept on a lead. Pet-friendly camping suits caravans, RVs, fifth-wheelers and tents. There is no separate pet fee noted; you pay the standard powered or non-powered site rates. No specific size limit is mentioned. Because it is a working showground, confirm availability and current rules with the caretakers or the Noosa Show Society before you arrive, and check whether a show or event is booked over your dates.

The place. It is a primarily camping and caravanning site with a camp kitchen, barbecues, clean amenities and on-site caretakers. Sites are grassy and flat, which makes for easy setup with a dog in tow.

Location and nearby. The showground sits right by the Mt Cooroora trailhead, so a walk with the dog is on your doorstep, though the summit climb itself is steep and better judged against your dog's fitness. Pomona's dog-friendly main-street cafes and the Historic Pomona Hotel are a short trip away.

Before you book. Ring ahead to confirm pet sites are open for your dates and that no show or event clashes. Keep dogs leashed and pick up after them, since this is shared, multi-use ground.

Best outside major show weekends, when the ground is quieter. Good for campers who want a simple, dog-welcome base at the base of Mt Cooroora.
