We're going away in a few weeks, somewhere between the Tweed and Coffs. We will be joined by some friends who want to take their pooch. Have a preference for swimming for the youngsters, and needs to be accessible in a conventional vehicle. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Charlie

I'm not sure if your suggesting
free camping? Its not really possible in that part of NSW.
There aren't many spots due to most available areas being National Parks. Most of the councils are anal about dogs on their beaches as
well.
Having said that there is a dog friendly caravan park in
Ballina right on the water that we are looking at staying at in the future, Shaws Bay Caravan Park I think.
I's steer clear of Byron more rules and regs than you can poke a stick at. We found a great van park near
Pottsville, relaxed, dog friendly, to the point that ours played with everyone there without a drama. Across the road from a surf beach as
well.
If you want the location please provide your email address.

Funny nowdays it's more greenies (like Byron) = more rules. In my day it was free love man, more dogs the better, bring your cow, lama, whatever. What went wrong?

Theres a top spot on the
richmond river called Coraki. It's a little town (about 1000) and its about 25kms inland of
woodburn heading towards casino. Great little council run caravan park right on the river. I was there at xmas, just about deserted, fully lawned area,
sandy beach for swimming, pub -bowling club - and shops about 100 meters away. Great spot, no crowds, few indiginious locals about but no hassels. reccomend it if you want to relax away from the hoards. even better if you have a boat.
