Campsites qualify with sourced pet rules marked yes, no or conditional. Tracks qualify with a sourced, recorded dog-policy fact. Unknowns are excluded, and prohibitions are deliberately retained.
All 648 published campsite records, 1589 walking-track records and 26 trip plans are considered against the relevant criteria. Campsites with a closed notice are excluded. Seasonal and access notices remain visible; inclusion does not confirm that a place is open.
Each page shows up to 12 matches per group in name order (A-Z), not a ranking. Use the page links to browse every match. Groups share a page number; shorter groups finish earlier.
