Port Campbell Recreation Reserve Camp Ground sits right in the township, an easy walk from the harbour and the shops, and it takes dogs year round on both powered and unpowered sites with no pet fee.
The rules. Dogs are free and welcome at any time of year. You must tell park staff you are bringing a dog when you book, and you are capped at two dogs per site. Keep dogs on a leash around the reserve, and note they are not permitted in the playground areas.
What's there. The reserve has a camp kitchen and outdoor kitchen, hot showers, a fire pit for hire and firewood for sale. Amenities are kept clean. Payment is cash only, so plan ahead for the booking fee and any site extras.

Nearby with the dogs. Port Campbell's main street cafes and the harbour foreshore are a short stroll away, making this a genuinely walkable base for exploring the Twelve Apostles coastline with dogs.
When to go. Good for any season since dogs are welcome year round, though summer and school holidays will see sites fill faster. Confirm your dog booking at the time you reserve your site, and bring your own bedding since this is unpowered/powered camping, not a cabin.
