Maryborough Caravan Park

Maryborough Caravan Park sits in Tinana on the southern side of Maryborough, part of the Ozzy Parks group of Queensland caravan and tourist parks. It is a compact, well-run park with cabins and sites, and it takes dogs, which matters on a stretch of the Wide Bay Highway where pet-friendly stops are thinner on the ground than you would hope.

Dogs at Maryborough Caravan Park

The park welcomes dogs on site bookings, and a limited number of cabins are designated pet friendly, so it is not a case of booking any cabin and bringing the dog along. Ask for a pet-friendly cabin by name when you book, and expect management approval to be part of the process. There is no published weight limit. House rules are the usual caravan-park expectations: dogs stay on lead in all public areas and cannot be left unattended at your site or cabin. No pet fee is published, so confirm costs, cabin availability and any conditions directly when you book.

The park itself

Guests consistently point to clean amenities, tidy cabins and a camp kitchen, with friendly managers running a tight ship. The location is the other draw: the shops are within walking distance for supplies, and a tavern nearby makes an easy dinner option on arrival night. Powered sites are the workhorse booking for travellers with vans.

Out with the dog

For off-lead time, the Tinana Fenced Dog Park is the obvious local stop, and Rambo Dog Park covers you over in Maryborough proper. If you are sticking around, Toast Espresso Bar in town is a solid morning-coffee run. You can compare other pet friendly stays across Queensland or read the Tinana guide.

Max: Book the pet-friendly cabin by name, not just any cabin. Turning up with a dog and the wrong booking is the classic caravan park standoff.
