Forestry Corporation says dogs are welcome in all NSW state forests but must be kept under your control at all times, and you should pick up after them. Many state forests border national parks or conservation areas where dogs are banned, so stay inside the state forest boundary. No site-specific lead rule found from an official source, so keep your dog on a lead around other campers to be safe. No drinking water, so bring enough for you and your dog. Check signage on arrival.
