The best dog-friendly camping near Kangaroo Valley

·

In Kangaroo Valley, you’ll find over 450 pet-friendly camping spots where your four-legged mate is as welcome as you are. Most sites here let you light a campfire, bring your dog, and have access to a proper toilet—no bush improvisation needed. Many campers come for the fishing, horseback riding, and swimming in creeks that cut through lush bushland. Prices start at just $11 a night, with the average hovering around $60. Locals swear by Babbling Brook 4WD Camping (348 reviews) if you want to let your pup run wild and fall asleep to the sound of water, or Buxton Getaway (268 reviews) for a no-fuss base camp. For something closer to the coast, Otford Park nr Royal National Park (251 reviews) gives you easy access to bushwalks and salt air. Pack your leash, grab some marshmallows, and make yourself at home—this valley doesn’t mind a bit of mud on your boots (or paws).

5. Monastery of 11 Strings

72km from Kangaroo Valley · 12 sites · Tents, RVs
Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing. After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others. By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes. Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
