Alstonville Showgrounds

The short version. Alstonville Showgrounds is a pet-friendly camping and caravan stop within walking distance of town. Dogs are allowed overnight on the powered and unpowered sites, which makes it a handy, low-cost base for travellers with a dog in tow.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome to stay overnight with visitors in the camping and caravan areas, and the grounds are marketed as pet-friendly. Pets are generally permitted on both powered and unpowered sites. Specific size limits and pet fees are not listed in the standard site descriptions, so confirm those with the caretakers before you arrive, and keep dogs under control around other campers.

The place. This is a showground campground rather than a resort: grassy powered and unpowered sites, clean amenities, a camp kitchen and a dump point. On-site caretakers keep an eye on things, and it is an easy walk into the Alstonville village.

Who it suits. Best for self-contained campers and caravanners who want a practical, walkable overnight with the dog, not a fully catered stay. Being able to walk to town cafes is a real plus for a coffee run.

Before you book. Contact the caretakers ahead to confirm pet conditions, any fees and site availability, and bring your own gear for the dog, as facilities are camp-basic.
