Harbour View Caravan Park

Harbour View Caravan Park sits by the Urangan boat harbour at 1 Jetty Street, close to the boat ramp and the Hervey Bay Boat Club, and handy for the whale-watching departures that run from the marina in season. It takes dogs, but only on a limited number of specific sites, so this is a park where you call before you tow.

Dogs at Harbour View Caravan Park

Pets stay on designated sites only, with a maximum of two per site, and management approval is needed before you arrive. The pet-friendly options are typically powered caravan and camping sites rather than cabins, so it suits travellers with a van or a tent. Powered sites are listed around $60 a night or $280 a week; any separate pet charge is not clearly published, so ask when you book. Because pet sites are few, book ahead rather than rolling in on spec.

Pepsi: two pets per site and approval before arrival. Ring first, then roll in.

The park

Reviewers call out the roomy sites, the camp kitchen and the walk to the boat club, though some describe the amenities block as dated. The tone is practical and no-frills: a base for fishing, boating and whale season rather than a resort stay.

Getting there and parking

The park is at 1 Jetty Street, Urangan, at the harbour end of Hervey Bay, an easy turn off the Esplanade. Sites take the car and van together, and the boat ramp is effectively next door.

Close by with the dogs

The Urangan off-leash dog beach is the big drawcard, with foreshore walking along the Esplanade, and the Urangan Public dog park covers off-leash play inland of the beach. If the pet sites are full, Windmill Caravan Park and Shelly Beach Motel are nearby alternatives. More options are on the Urangan destination page and in the Queensland stays directory.
