Dogs may only pass through on a formalised pathway while kept on-leash. The reserve interior and other prohibited areas are not dog-accessible.
Dog rules
Kevin Walsh Oval is a Kiama Council sportsground in Jamberoo. Dogs are permitted on-leash only on the footpaths around the outside perimeter — not on the oval itself or in the park interior. Dogs must not go onto the oval or courts while organised sport is being played. Dogs are also prohibited, on or off leash, within 10 metres of children's playground equipment and within 10 metres of public barbeques and kiosks. Follow any signs on site. Kiama's designated off-leash areas are listed on the council's off-leash areas page. (Source: Kiama Municipal Council — Dog off-leash areas.)

What people say
Great place to come camp overnight. The space is small but it's free and has toilets and a shower. Once you enter through the driveway to the park, theres a specified area on the left of the oval where you can park and camp overnight (only on the gravel - no tents on the grass) When we went, construction workers were drilling holes in the ground to mark camping spots with poles and signs. Can only stay for 2 nights max. Friendly pub and IGA store are very close by and locals are very laid back.
It was amazing, it was oval shaped and covered in grass. What more could you want or need?
Came up as free overnight camping . Arrived and it is not. Clearly marker no camping.
I strongly encourage anyone to take the twenty minute picturesque drive off the M1 if you're looking for a lovely spot to free-camp for the night (Edit: Unfortunately no camping is permitted anymore)Jambaroo is a gorgeous little town with a lively pub and an IGA if you need groceries. The bakery makes excellent pies which I can highly recommend.
A very peaceful place to stay in a beautiful little town with everything one needs. Friendly locals and I'll be back
