At Mt Warning Rainforest Park (located in Mount Warning, NSW), dogs are allowed to stay overnight under the following conditions: - Which Rooms: Dogs are strictly not allowed in park-owned cabins, caravans, the amenities blocks, the shop, or the swimming pool.

Mt Warning Rainforest Park is a creekside camping and caravan park at the base of Wollumbin/Mount Warning in the Tweed Valley. For dog owners, the draw is straightforward: you can camp with your dog on a tent or caravan site surrounded by rainforest, with creek frontage and a camp fire right at your site.
The pet policy. Dogs are permitted on campsites, including tent sites and sites where you bring your own caravan or camper trailer. They are strictly not allowed in park-owned cabins, park-owned rental caravans, the amenities blocks, the shop, or the swimming pool. Dogs must be on a leash at all times and cannot be left unattended. All pets must be approved by management prior to arrival. There is no specific size limit in the policy. Owners must clean up droppings immediately.
The place. The park offers powered and unpowered sites for caravans, camper trailers and tents, plus park-owned cabins for guests travelling without dogs. On-site amenities include a communal camp kitchen, hot showers, and a swimming pool (off-limits to dogs). Fire pits are available on sites, and the park sells firewood on-site so you do not need to bring your own. Creekside camping is a key feature of the layout.
Getting there and parking. The park is located at 153 Mount Warning Rd, Mount Warning NSW 2484. Driving is required. Some local roads in the area can be affected by prior flooding, so check conditions before you set out, especially after heavy rain. Parking is limited to one vehicle per site; any additional vehicles must park outside the front entrance.
Nearby with the dogs. Murwillumbah, roughly 10 to 15 minutes' drive away, is the nearest town for dog-friendly cafes and food runs with outdoor seating. Try Swiftee's Snack Shack in South Murwillumbah or Zambrero Murwillumbah in town. Note that Wollumbin National Park's walking tracks do not permit dogs, so leave the mountain summit hike for another trip.
Who it suits. Self-contained campers, caravanners and tenters who want a rainforest base with a creek and a fire pit. Not suitable if you need a cabin, as all park-owned cabins are dog-free. Best for dogs that are comfortable on-lead, since off-leash exercise is not permitted anywhere in the park.

Before you book. Request pet approval at the time of booking, not on arrival. Pick a creekside powered or unpowered site if available, and keep your dog on-lead throughout the park, saving any longer walk for Murwillumbah's outdoor-seating cafes rather than the national park next door.
