Ready for a break from the hustle and bustle of regular life? Looking to take your greyhound on an adventure this summer? Well, we have you covered with our top 5 picks for dog-friendly camping sites in NSW.

Nestled on the banks of Back Creek, Ingenia Holidays South West Rocks is the perfect basecamp for both water sports lovers and anglers, with the Macleay River Boat Ramp just 2km from the holiday park grounds.

Enjoy a sleep-under-the-stars experience and pitch the tent or put down the trailer legs in one of the 150 caravans and camping-powered and unpowered sites, which include waterfront and ensuite sites.

Five hours drive from Sydney, you will find Mystery Bay Campground which is located right on the oceanfront. It's one of the few natural campgrounds that offer back-to-basics camping under stunning spotted gums.

Enjoy beach fishing, surfing, and exploring rocky coves and cliffs. The basics are provided including cold showers, water taps, and toilets.

Three and a half hours north-west of Sydney, you’ll find the picture-perfect Chichester State Forest (on the Telegherry River).

You’ll be spoilt for choice with Telegherry Forest Park, (with separate picnic and camping areas beside the river), short walking tracks leading into the surrounding forest, or bring your li-lo and relax in the creek.

Riverwood  Downs is a magnificent, 750-acre property just 2.5 hours north of Sydney in the foothills of Barrington Tops.  Explore the property's shady walking trails, tall mountains, and cool fresh mountain pools.  Experience this peaceful setting, with fresh air, bright stars, abundant wildlife, crackling log fires, friendly staff, and relaxed country hospitality.

On top of the amazing camps sites, the property also offers a range of accommodation options including spa cabins, river cottage, boutique rooms, self-contained cabins, and bunkhouse lodging.

If you’re looking for some creature comforts, there’s also a licensed restaurant, open most days for brekky, lunch, and dinner.
