Located five hours down the coast from Sydney, Mystery Bay Campground is set directly along a stunning stretch of ocean, and your pup is invited to share every bit of it with you.

Set near Barrington Tops National Park, three hours north of Sydney, the Riverwood Downs campground offers riverside sites, hot showers, laundry facilities, a kiosk and — most importantly — welcomes your pup with open arms. 

A dog lover's paradise, Wee Jasper Reserves is home to four camping sites — Billy Grace, Fitzpatrick Trackhead, Swinging Bridge and Micalong Creek — all of which are pooch-friendly. 

One of the best coastal walks in Sydney, Spit Bridge to Manly is all the better with your pup by your side. Unfortunately, your doggo is not allowed within the Sydney Harbour National Park section of the hike but it's easily avoidable on this walk.

While the Blue Mountains National Park is generally off-limits to your furry friend, there are some pockets that allow pups. Set outside the national park in Lawson, the South Lawson Waterfall Circuit is a well-known hike for humans and their four-legged pals.

Located within The Hills district just 1.5-hours north of the CBD, the Rouse Hill Regional Park is a bush escape set within the Sydney boundaries. Your dog is allowed on-leash throughout the park (except for in the hired pavilions and children's play areas).

Located around three hours from Sydney on the south coast, Bendalong's Washerwomans Beach is home to calm, turquoise waters and an 840-metre stretch of golden sands — plus doggos aplenty. 

If striking blue water set among rock formations and beach caves are your (and your dog's) thing, look no further than Currarong Beach. This coastal beauty offers sheltered swimming (or kayaking) for you and your pup.

You don't have to travel far from Sydney to enjoy the waves with your pup, either. Go for a frolic at Rowland Reserve, which is 45 minutes north of the CBD, in between Newport and Mona Vale.
