Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Spring Garden, AL

431 Reviews

Oak Mountain State Park Campground accommodates pets across its tent sites, RV spots, and cabin options. All camping areas maintain a standard pet policy requiring leashes no longer than 6 feet. Multiple hiking trails throughout the park welcome leashed dogs, with areas around lakes and streams particularly popular for pets to cool off during warmer months. Campers reference The Dyrt for top tips on camping near Spring Garden, Alabama. Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park Campground, another pet-friendly option, provides spacious campsites with fire rings and picnic tables where dogs can relax with their owners.

Brookside Greenway Park offers pet-friendly camping with shaded sites and a clean creek for dogs to swim in. Pet waste stations are positioned throughout camping areas, and many sites feature grassy spaces ideal for dog exercise. The trails at Oak Mountain provide excellent walking opportunities for pets, though wildlife encounters require keeping dogs leashed at all times. Overnight campers often note the regular presence of park rangers patrolling the grounds, creating a secure environment for pets and their owners. Visitors should pack extra towels for dogs enjoying water activities, as the creek access points and swimming areas become popular pet gathering spots during summer months.

    Time Away RV Resort

    Very nice campground

    This is a really nice RV park that provides close access to the racetrack. It is wonderfully taken care of and has recently been renovated. They have a playground and several covered areas for picnics and group gatherings. A key bonus to this site is the pool which is very necessary when camping in Alabama in the summer. Overall, I would definitely suggest checking this campground out as an option if you are headed to a race and coming for the weekend.

    Thousand Trails Hidden Cove

    Very nice, quiet campground

    Great campground & people! Only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the lack of things to do. No fenced in dog park but plenty of space to have one. Right on the lake but unaware of any kind of rentals available nearby— closest rentals are 40 mins away on the opposite side of the lake. Nearest Walmart is Cullman which is 45 mins away. Wouldn’t recommend staying here if you prefer to be closer to the city but perfect if you want to be in the middle of the woods and have no reason to leave. Very hot, humid and rainy time of year! Would be back in the fall perhaps.

    GrandStand RV Park

    Best Campground in the area

    Fun, friendly but quiet campground! Perfect for an overnight stop to your destination. Very easy to get to the park.

    They are in the process of putting in many very beautiful upgrades and will be a place you will want to stay for a week/ month for even for the entire winter!! So guarantee the $28.50 price while you can, you wont regret it!!!

    Grandstand RV Park loves animals so be sure to bring all your fur babies. Double dog park open all hours and free treats available too!

    GrandStand RV Park

    Really nice RV Campground

    This is a really great option super close to the racetrack. The facilities are really nice and the staff takes great care of the space. They even have a dog run to let your pets run around. I don't know if it would be my first choice if I were tent camping but with an RV it is a wonderful place to stay.

Theres lakes, waterfalls, nature trails, basket ball court, volley ball, a petting zoo, horses back riding, water sports, dirt bikes trails, BMX course, archery, cabins, primitive camping and rv's , a beach, a wildlife rescue center and so much more. If you're in the area do yourself a favor and check it out.

    Oak Mountain State Park Campground

    Stayed at Equestrian Campground

    Very happy at this campground. But there aren't many campers here. I think they are at the main campground. But regular RV campers are allowed at the Equestrian center. We are close to the farm/petting zoo. Also the horses are next to the campground. Very quiet and reasonably priced.
