Camping with pooch- Cooloola/Nth Coast

If you get your self out onto the beach just North of Tewantin there is a section where there is no NP , infact looking at my maps OziExplorer the NPs don't quite make it to the beach , also I've seen many Dogs on the Cooloola Coast Beach when ever I went there,

Hi,

To the best of my knowledge Inskip Reserve is the only place you can have a dog in the area and then I think it is supposed to be on a lead at all times.

Once you cross the river at Tewantin and go onto the beach there is no camping allowed until you reach Cooloola shire where the camping starts.

While not in the Cooloola area the only one I am not sure about and maybe someone here can help you with is the old Noosa Northshore Wilderness Park which has just recently been put under new management. I think maybe the council have taken it over and I don't know what their rules are for dogs but you can camp there close to the dunes in places. To find it, instead of going onto the beach at cutting number 1, turn left just before this point and drive down the dirt road for a kilometre or so until you come accross the campground on your right.

I had a double check of the EPA website and they quote the following:

"Pets
Domestic animals are not permitted in Great Sandy National Park."

So other than Inskip I can't offer much help.

Have a good one.

Thanks for the replies

Can take dogs to Cooloola but they are not allowed above the high tide mark, which is where the NP starts. Hence no camping with Dogs.

The wilderness park stopped taking dogs in Jan this year

I just tried to call the Noosa Northshore Wilderness Park which is the one down near the beach and the number was redirected so rang the mobile number and there is a message to say that the business is no longer operating.

We have booked a group to stay at Noosa Northshore park (the one near the pub) and they charge for the night before if you try and checkin before 12noon on Saturday and we didnt want to tow the camper up the beach which is the reason for staying there in the first place. I had heard from someone else that they weren't taking dogs anymore and I know the last time we stayed there a couple of years ago that there were lots of camp sites that left their dogs in camp and the dogs just barked and barked all day and drove everyone batty.
