The solutions of your equation can be injected into the solutions of the $S$-unit equation over $\mathbb{Q}$, where $S=\{\infty,2,3,5,p\}$. As the latter is known to have finitely many solutions by the results of Siegel, Mahler, Lang (see Chapter 5 in Bombieri-Gubler: Heights in Diophantine geometry), your equation also has finitely many solutions.

By a result of Beukers and Schlickewei (see Theorem 5.2.1 in the above mentioned book), the number of solutions is at most $2^{72}$ for any given prime $p$. In fact the earlier work of Evertse (Inventiones, 1984) yields the better bound $3\cdot7^{7}$ for the number of solutions (apply Theorem 1 with $\lambda=1/5$, $\mu=3/5$, $S=\{\infty,2,p\}$).
