Pet policy
Yes, dogs are allowed to stay overnight at Splitters Farm in Sharon, QLD, but they are subject to specific "dog tolerant" policies rather than being allowed everywhere. Pet Policy Highlights: - Allowed Accommodations: Dogs are permitted on non-powered and powered camp sites, as well as in their retro vans. - Excluded Areas: Dogs are not allowed in Glamping Tent bookings. - Fees: Fees apply for each pet to maintain dog-friendly facilities. - Size/Type Restrictions: Specific size restrictions are not explicitly listed, but pets must be registered upon arrival. - Rules: Dogs must be kept on a le
Splitters Farm is a 160-acre farm sanctuary for rescued animals on Splitters Creek, about 15 minutes from Bundaberg in Sharon, QLD. For dog owners, the defining fact is simple: this is a dog-tolerant rather than fully dog-friendly venue, meaning dogs are welcome in camping areas and a designated fenced off-leash zone but must stay on lead everywhere else around 400-plus rescued farm animals.
The pet policy. Dogs can stay overnight on non-powered campsites, powered campsites, and in retro vans. Glamping tents are off-limits to dogs, so confirm your site type carefully when booking. Pet fees apply per animal to help maintain the dog facilities. Every dog must be registered at reception on arrival, kept on a lead at all times in the main farm areas, and never left unattended at your campsite. The standout feature is a large, secure, fenced off-leash exercise area next to the camel paddock where dogs can run. A kennel service is available for a fee when you want to join activities where dogs are not permitted.
The place. Splitters Farm is home to more than 400 rescued animals, including pigs, chickens, and cows. You can take self-guided farm tours, hand-feed the animals, and camp beside Splitters Creek, which supports platypus and over 150 bird species. Powered and unpowered sites come with picnic tables and BBQs, and there is a shared camp kitchen. Because farm animals roam freely in areas, dogs must be well-behaved and restrained near livestock at all times.
Getting there. The address is 205 Blairs Rd, Sharon QLD 4670. It is roughly 15 minutes' drive from Bundaberg city centre, with on-site parking available.
Who it suits. This venue suits owners with calm, well-socialised dogs that are comfortable on lead around livestock, wildlife, and other campers. It is not the right choice for dogs that react strongly to animals or struggle to settle in a busy farm environment.
Before you book. Make sure you select a campsite or retro van rather than a glamping tent, as the tents are excluded from the pet policy. Budget for per-pet fees and plan to register your dog at reception as soon as you arrive.

Pack a sturdy lead, bring waste bags, and use the fenced exercise area for off-lead time so your dog can enjoy the farm without stressing the resident animals.
