Huntsville Caravan Park

Huntsville Caravan Park sits at 23 Gympie Road in Tinana, on the banks of the Mary River a few minutes from the Maryborough CBD and opposite the local shopping centre. It is a practical river-side stop on the Bruce Highway run through the Fraser Coast, and it takes dogs on stay.

Dogs at the park

Pet-friendly options are available, with caravan and camping sites the easiest path and dogs kept leashed, under control and cleaned up after around the grounds. Some cabins may also take dogs at the manager's discretion, but that is decided case by case rather than being a published policy. No size limits or pet fees are listed anywhere public, so the sensible move is to phone the park when you book: ask which sites or cabins are open to dogs and what, if anything, they charge. Guests mention river views, a camp kitchen, comfy beds in the cabins and grassy sites, with a hands-on manager on site, which is exactly who you want to be talking to about a pet.

The park and the river

The setting on the Mary River gives you water views and grassy sites, and the shopping centre across the road covers groceries without moving the van. Maryborough's heritage streetscapes and Queens Park botanic gardens are a short drive for an on-lead walk under the fig trees.

Close by with the dogs

The fenced agility park at Tinana Fenced Dog Park is on Gympie Road itself, with agility equipment, water and bag dispensers, so an off-leash run is close at hand. For another option in the area, Maryborough Caravan Park also takes dogs, and Toast Espresso Bar is a coffee stop in town. Fraser Coast council keeps dogs on leash in all public spaces except signed off-leash areas.
