Yalwal down south outside of Nowra is good, but a bit more inland.

Howbout one of the state forests (these allow dogs) just over the Blue Mountains? Sunny Corner or Jenolan...only problem maybe trail bikes but they mainly seem like decent blokes. There's some near Oberon that are peaceful.

Unfortunately there isn't many coastal bush camping places North and particularly South of Sydney that allow dogs :-(
