The best dog-friendly camping near Anna Bay

·

Anna Bay welcomes campers who won’t leave their pets behind, with over 990 pet-friendly options scattered between bushland and coastline. You’ll find everything from basic clearings to set-ups with toilets and campfire rings, averaging $55 a night but dipping as low as $17 if you know where to look. Top picks like Bunyip's Camp (951 reviews), Abstobys Retreat (488 reviews), and Spirit of the Forest (439 reviews) have become local favourites for a reason—expect open space for your dog to roam, fire pits for an evening yarn, and easy access to horseback trails, bush walks, and swimming holes. If you’re after a spot that welcomes four-legged mates and doesn’t mind a bit of sand or mud, Anna Bay delivers.

We had a great time at Halacal Farm! Stayed one night with our dog. We camped up on the ridge as we felt out car couldn't make it into the valley site but Luke was a great accommodating host, finding a perfect spot for us with great sunset views. In the morning we met the Highland Cows, what a wonderful experience. Thanks Luke!

We loved this spot. Nestled away with the sound of nature, is just what we wanted. Luke met us and showed us our spot and was a very friendly host. Dogs enjoyed relaxing by a fire and the smells on the land. We got to brush and pat the gorgeous cows also. We would highly reccommend Lukes place.

Absolutely loved camping here! Luke's friendliness was incredible! The Firefly Ridge is situated at the back of Luke's property with an incredible sunset view you don't want to miss! The Highlander Cows are a must see! I won't give any any secrets but you'll have to ask Luke for the BIG Highlanders name 🤔.

Very Tidy, lots of room we had a group of 12 people, 8 cars very friendly caravan park, close to the river, clean facilities but very old school. People live onsite in van homes but are all very friendly. Would recommend this spot to anyone who wants to chill out and have a relaxing stay away from civilisation, reception is a 10 min drive away for Telstra customers…

This site is exactly as described in the listing. It is a simple site that was an ideal stopover for us. It is well located, an easy drive to local areas including Shoal Bay. Plenty of space between pitches so we had our own little spot. No complaints from us. We were aware of the proximity to the road, so used ear plugs and had an undisturbed night's sleep. Can't speak to the facilities as we didn't use them. It may not be for everyone but I think Anouke and Sacha have been clear about the site and what to expect.

Peaceful and secluded campsite even in the middle of school holidays. Very helpful hosts. Great location, a few mins from Anna Bay, Nelson Bay and Stockton Sands etc. There is a bit of road noise at night, but not enough to stop anyone from sleeping. Was a very enjoyable stay and we would happily recommend to others, and plan to go back ourselves.

We loved our stay at Halacal farm. It’s now one of our favourite hipcamps. We had a huge private site with beautiful views of the valley. The whole area is gorgeous. Loved having the horses around us and the fireflies lit up at night made our camp so magical. Luke the host is such an awesome guy too. He’s a genuine top bloke. Even despite the fact our Simba got into a very surprising scruff with his beautiful Titan he never made us feel anything but welcome. He was always accomodating and helpful with anything we needed and told us about some beautiful spots to check out. Missing it there already. Will definitely be back. Thank you Luke and the fam you’re amazing! Thinking of Titan and hoping he’s ok xx

Both found the property a haven from their busy schedule of performing overseas. A unique 70 acre Arabian horse property, surrounded by Myall Lakes National Park 4 kms from "The Grandis" the tallest tree in NSW and 10 kms from Bulahdelah Town also near to beautiful North Coast beaches.

At the foot of the Watagan mountains, close to the Watagan 4WD tracks, picnic areas, and bike tracks. Also close to Lake Macquarie where you will find fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing etc. About a 20 - 40 min drive to beautiful beaches. Ideal for those wanting to be surrounded by birds, nature and a couple of friendly doggos. Also great for people wanting to try out their new camper, van or tent for the 1st time as we are an easy 1 hour drive north of Sydney on the M1 and close enough to shops for those forgotten items. Also we have unfenced dams and waterways, if you are camping with young children please consider carefully and let me know before booking. We have very basic bathroom facilities of 1 flushing toilet in the shed and an outdoor warm shower. Please read the site rules and camping conditions to ensure this site suits your needs.
