Coomera Holiday Village

Coomera Holiday Village is a caravan and camping park at 2 Reserve Road, Upper Coomera, minutes off the Pacific Motorway and handy to the Gold Coast theme parks. It takes dogs on its designated pet-friendly sites, which makes it a practical base for campers and caravanners travelling with a dog rather than those after a cabin.

Dogs at Coomera Holiday Village

Dogs are permitted on selected caravan and camping sites only, and pet-friendly bookings need management approval, so you must clear your pet with reception at the time of booking rather than arriving with one and hoping. Pets stay in the outdoor pet sites and are not allowed inside non-pet-friendly accommodation or park facilities. Fees for pets can apply, and a cleaning fee, noted at $200 in some terms, can be charged if a pet soils or damages accommodation, particularly if it is taken into a non-pet-friendly area. Confirm the current fee, which sites count as pet-friendly, and any breed or number limits when you book on +61 7 5573 1665.

Worth knowing

The park has a camp kitchen, pool, BBQ areas and hot showers, with both gravel and large sites, and reviewers mention friendly management and clean amenities. Road noise from the motorway is a recurring comment, worth weighing if your dog is noise-sensitive. One honest caveat for the itinerary: the theme parks themselves, Dreamworld and Movie World included, do not allow pet dogs through the gate, only registered assistance dogs, so a day at the rides means arranging day boarding for the dog.

Getting there and parking

The village sits on Reserve Road in Upper Coomera with easy access off the Pacific Motorway, about 10 to 15 minutes from the major theme parks. On-site parking suits motorhomes, camper trailers and caravans.

Close by with the dogs

Baker Creek Fenced Dog Park is the local off-lead option, and Andonis Cafe & Bar covers a dog-friendly coffee. Oxenford Lake is a short drive for an on-lead walk.
