The lead. Southside Holiday Village at 283 Lower Dawson Road is a clean, well-run park on the south side of Rockhampton that takes dogs, but only in selected pet-friendly cabins and on selected sites, and only when pre-booked. It suits travellers wanting a secure base close to the Botanic Gardens and the highway.
The pet policy. Per the park's published policy, only small companion breeds are accepted; large, working or aggressive dogs are not permitted. Pet cabins carry a $10 per night fee. You must phone reception to book, since the pet cabins and sites are limited and cannot be locked in online.
The rules. Dogs stay on a lead at all times inside the park and are not allowed in or near the pool, amenities, camp kitchen, BBQs or playground. Do not leave your dog unattended, and pick up and bin waste straight away.
Getting there. Parking for one car sits beside your cabin or on your site. It is an easy run off the Bruce Highway, so it works well as a stopover as well as a longer stay.
Nearby with the dogs. The Rockhampton Botanic Gardens are roughly 800m away for a walk, along with nearby green space and quiet suburban streets for the daily leg-stretch. Check on-site signage for where dogs are and are not allowed within the gardens.
Before you book. Call ahead and confirm your dog fits the small-breed policy before you travel, since acceptance is at management's discretion and pet cabins fill fast.
