Fitzgerald Bay North Free Camping is a council-run, free coastal camping area on Spencer Gulf near Whyalla, popular with vanners and tent campers for its beach access and easy snorkelling and fishing.
The pet policy. Dogs are allowed to camp overnight, but must be kept on a lead at all times. There is no fee for the site itself, so budget only for what you bring.
The place. This is a free camping ground, not a caravan park, so there are no rooms or cabins, just designated camping and caravanning space along the beachfront. Facilities are basic, with flushing toilets reported on site but little else, so pack water, shade and anything else your dog needs for a windy, exposed stretch of coast.
Location and nearby. The site sits right on Fitzgerald Bay with the water close by for a swim or a paddle with the dog on lead. Whyalla township is the nearest option for supplies, vet care, or a dog-friendly cafe if you want a break from camp cooking.

Best for anyone happy with a no-frills, budget coastal camp. Go for the free camping and the fishing, not the amenities, and keep dogs leashed as the rules require.
