Fraser Coast Holiday Park

Fraser Coast Holiday Park is a small, gated caravan park at 21 Denmans Camp Road in Scarness, a few minutes walk from the Hervey Bay beachfront. It is a quiet, boutique park with a heated mineral pool and spa, and it does take dogs, but the size rule is tight, so read the policy before you book rather than turning up and hoping.

Dogs at the Fraser Coast Holiday Park

The park's own guidance leans to small dogs, roughly 5kg or under, staying on powered caravan and campervan sites. Dogs live within the area of your booked site and are walked outside the park perimeter rather than around the internal paths. Cabins and studio units are generally a no for pets unless you have arranged it with management ahead of time, so ring and get your dog approved, especially if you want fixed roof accommodation.

Worth knowing

The park is securely gated and tourist-only, with the heated mineral pool and spa as the standout feature and a camp kitchen with a pizza oven for communal nights. Sites suit caravans, campervans and tents, and there are studio units and cabins for those without a rig. Confirm your dog's weight against the small-dog limit, whether your site type actually permits a dog, and any pet fee when you book, since the details vary by accommodation.

Max: this is a park for small-dog road trippers with a van. If your dog is a bigger breed, ring ahead and have a backup option ready.

Getting there and parking

Denmans Camp Road sits back from the Esplanade in central Scarness, an easy turn-off from the main route through Hervey Bay. You park at your site, so arrival is straightforward for vans of most sizes, and the beach and Scarness Esplanade are both an easy stroll.

Close by with the dogs

Scarness beach directly up the road has a 24/7 off-leash area for morning runs, and the Esplanade cafes welcome dogs at the outdoor tables, including Sea Breeze Cafe opposite Scarness Park.
