The best dog-friendly camping near Jacobs Well

·

Jacobs Well is a hotspot for pet-friendly camping, with over 1,200 sites where your dog’s as welcome as you are. Expect pet-friendly facilities like showers and toilets, and you’ll find campsites set near creeks, tucked behind bushland, and sprawled across wide-open paddocks—perfect for early-morning walks or muddy-pawed swims. Average stays run about $42 a night, but you can snag a spot for as little as $14. Locals swear by Misty Mountain - Kunghur (1,071 reviews), The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate (1,053 reviews), and Stonesthrow (1,036 reviews) for their laid-back vibes and room to roam. Hiking trails are close by, horseback riding’s on offer, and there’s no shortage of swimming holes when it’s time to cool off. Bring the dog, pack your lead, and get ready to explore.

36km from Jacobs Well · 4 sites · Tents, RVs · Point Lookout, QLD
The campsite is situated on the beach, sheltered by the sheoaks in the back dunes. At the rear of the campsite lies a freshwater lagoon, locally known as the keyholes. Currently, there are four sites available to be booked. There is a camp kitchen with a two gas burner, all pots and pans, plates and cutlery with table and chairs to sit at. There is also a big esky there to use for either your food or drinks. Fresh water is provided in twenty litre drums. The bush shower works on the keg being heated up just like a kettle. Once it is hot then a nice warm shower is to be had to wash off all the salt from the ocean. There is also two compost toilets for your convenience. A unique feature includes the opportunity for surfing, fishing, and swimming in your private lagoon. A short drive will take you to Point Lookout. 10 minutes and you are at the pub mixing with the locals. Access is via the beach only and tides are a consideration. Please check "Point Lookout tides" on Willy Weather. I don't normally travel on the beach if the tide is over 1.5 metres. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is required. Camper trailers can be brought in as they are light. Caravans are not permitted due to the tight turning circles.
