Nepean River Trail Camden (Not Camden Bike Track) is a dog-friendly park in Camden with plenty of shade, with some time-based restrictions in place. Just 550m away, Camden Grove Cafe is a nearby spot to stop in after your walk.
Dogs are permitted on-leash along the Nepean River Trail under the NSW Companion Animals Act, except within Camden Town Farm where dogs are not permitted. Dogs must be under effective control at all times. (Source: Camden Council.)
This trail is great quality and has great views and park equipment but there are very strict rules for parts of this trail. For a lot of the trail you are not allowed to take a dog or a bike but there is still a section where you can. I think this path is great for walking but if you are taking a dog or cycling you will be limited.
The section of the trail around the cricket ground IS dog friendly. Gavin rates this it a one because he is too lazy to find appropriate places to exercise his dog! Here's some information for you Gav. There is a huge area, just a few metres away from where you were, in the equestrian centre that is dog friendly (some areas are off leash at certain times, please READ the signs). The trail section around the farm is not dog friendly because there is cattle in the fields. Council ruling is for the well-being of the cows because some people are inconsiderate and let their dogs roam free where ever they like and this disturbs the cows. Camden Council area is blessed with a huge amount of off leash areas for dogs.
Moved to Camden some years ago and this is one of the reasons I love the place. Beautiful art worthy views, vegetation wild life and peaceful.
Wonderful project by Camden Council. Great idea to have 2 distinct sections. Close to the cricket ground is a path with a good variety of exercise equipment, and further around is a long, wide path that loops around the entire Camden Town Farm.
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
