The best dog-friendly camping near Gin Gin

·

Camping with pets in Gin Gin isn’t complicated—over 1,000 sites welcome four-legged mates, so you don’t have to leave anyone behind. Expect everything from riverside clearings to bushland paddocks, with average sites running about $30 a night and the cheapest spots starting at just $5. You’ll find campsites where campfires are allowed, showers are hot, and loos are easy to reach. Locals flock to Dam Crazy Camping (847 reviews) for dam swims and wide-open space, while Peaceful Riverside Camping (817 reviews) puts you right on the water for fishing or a lazy dip. If you’re chasing a quieter patch, Paradise Lost on the Burnett (368 reviews) offers secluded riverbanks and plenty of shade for both people and pets. Keep an eye out for wildlife—kangaroos and cockatoos are regulars. Gin Gin’s pet-friendly camping scene is casual, affordable, and about as easy as rolling out a swag under the stars.

Purchased in 1988 as a block of Bush, the majority of clearing was initially done with a small Massey Ferguson Te20 a long length of chain a shovel and chainsaw.Built originally with nothing more than the chainsaw, shovel, hammer and nails the log cabin that I still live in has undergone a few changes over the years but we have tried to keep it looking the same on the outside made mostly from large hardwood posts and paperbark slabs and half rounds for walls concrete floor with sunken lounge room. The hand built rock chimney is the feature piece of the front of the cabin so be sure to check it out and get a few pics.
