Bellingen Showgrounds is a dog-friendly camping and caravan ground within walking distance of the town centre, which is its main draw: you can pitch up, then stroll into Bellingen for coffee without moving the vehicle. It is a simple, well-run showground rather than a resort, so set expectations to clean-and-basic.
The pet policy. Dogs are allowed to stay overnight and are permitted through the camping and caravan areas. They must be kept on lead at all times and under control. No specific size or breed limits are listed, and no separate pet fee is reported, though camping rates now apply. Policies at showgrounds shift, so confirm when you book.
The place. Powered sites, hot showers and clean amenities are the standing positives in reviews, run by friendly volunteers. There is no camp kitchen, and a dump point is on site. It is an open, grassy ground, so bring your own shade and setup.
Location and nearby. The walk into town is the standout: cafes, the main street and the Bellinger River are all an easy stroll. That makes it a genuinely practical base for exploring on foot with the dog on lead.
Who it suits. Self-sufficient campers and van travellers who want to be close to town rather than out in the bush. Keep the dog leashed near other sites, as it is a shared ground and gets busy in peak periods and around events.
Before you book. Check availability around show and event dates, when the grounds close to camping, and confirm current rates and the lead rule directly with the showground.
