Hi John,
I have linked to a document here prepared by the council which lists a few of the free (some with small donation) camping grounds in the area.
Enjoy your trip!

Hi, where is a good place to camp at Carpenters Rocks with pets?
Hi Phil,
Unfortunately, pets will limit your options in this area as most of the best spots are within Canunda National Park, where pets are not permitted.
You could try the Limestone Coast Tourist Park in Mount Gambier. You will find camping sites to pitch your tent, is pet friendly and located a 30 minute drive from Carpenter Rocks.
Regards,
Jess
