Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Fremont, CA

827 Reviews

Dumbarton Quarry Campground on the Bay accommodates pets in all 60 RV sites and three tent sites, providing convenient pet-friendly camping near the Fremont shoreline. This recently-opened campground connects to miles of dog-friendly trails extending through Coyote Hills Regional Park, where leashed pets can accompany campers along the bay. Pet owners frequently mention the campground's cleanliness and well-maintained facilities. Anthony Chabot Regional Park and Del Valle Campground also welcome pets at their established sites, offering both tent and RV options with full hookups. The bathrooms are cleaned daily and always in great shape, with warm showers available for campers after hiking with their dogs.

Coyote Hills Regional Park's extensive trail network offers multiple pet exercise opportunities with scenic bay views. Dogs must remain leashed throughout the campgrounds and hiking paths, with designated waste disposal stations available. The walking paths connect to bird-watching areas in the estuary, requiring careful pet management around wildlife. Campers appreciate the convenience of nearby shopping and veterinary services in Fremont, as winds from the bay can be strong, requiring adequate shelter for pets. Temperature variations between day and night can be significant, especially for tent campers with dogs. Each campsite includes a fire pit and picnic table suitable for evening relaxation with pets, though the campgrounds have limited shade as newly planted trees are still maturing.

    Uvas Pines RV Park

    Nice place with a great dog park

    This park has mostly long-term residents. It was super quiet, though there was a somewhat noisy road next to us. We were on the first site next to the road, so I suspect it would be a non issue for most of the sites.

    The dog park is extremely well-maintained. Beautiful grass, very nice fence, a bench to sit on, water for your pets and plenty of space to run.

    There a really nice stream to hike along. And underneath a bridge there are bat houses. We went under there at sundown and watched the bats come out. Strongly recommended!

    The lady who runs the place was extremely nice and helpful.

    Full hook-ups and relatively large, gravel sites with some shade. However, I needed to raise one wheel about 5 inches and another 2 to get level.

    Short drive to downtown Morgan hill or Gilroy. And there’s a Camping World as well.

    Uvas Pines RV Park

    A slice of heaven in the bay area

    We visited the first week of December 2020.  The staff was helpful and the grounds were well maintained.  Flat easy pull through with full hook-ups.  Definitely in a canyon around the corner from Thousand Trails.  You can see the stars at night and it is a very quiet campground.  We were surprised at all the high-end rigs there, some full-timers.  A nice dog park area and a stroll along the creek - our dog loved it.  They recycle and are very environmentally aware. No pool or playground but lovely nature away from the hustle and bustle of silicon valley.  It is about 6 miles to shopping and many restaurants.  A very easy drive off the highway if you take the Tennant Road exit.

    Coyote Valley RV Resort

    Buttoned up, formal atmosphere RV resort

    High priced. Nice people at desk. Damon who helped us park was very friendly. Almost entirely high-priced big rigs, some of whom seem settled here but it's clean, 'orderly,' very quiet. Rigid rules keep the order; nice that no political flags/signs allowed. 2 dog parks and lots of grassy areas to take for a walk. Showers in locker-room/bldg, bathrooms nice and clean. Green grass. Also has laundry with 2.50 wash and.25 dry for 8 min. Skunk wandered by site in the night. Cool train sounds from nearby tracks at night. Was probably the most convenient to San Jose, otherwise we likely would've been in mtns. and too far away from town for our needs at the time. Would not be a regular choice for us.

    Uvas Pines RV Park

    Morgan Hill, CA Would definitely stay again

    Medium sized campground. Huge roomy sites. Busy little park with lots of vehicles going in and out all the time. Nice walking trail by creek for you and your furry buddy. Dog park was large and ours loved it. Close see to Morgan Hill which is a quaint friendly little town. We made a booking mistake and they were actually able to move some people around to accommodate us. Laundry room was extremely small but clean and functional. They have propane available. Friendly and very helpful staff. Would stay again if in area.

    French Camp RV Park and Golf Course

    Quiet, clean and great dog parks!

    I believe a lot of the people here are full-time. It’s a super sweet RV resort. It is very well-maintained, nicely landscaped, and they have some great dog parks. I came in after hours and the person managing the campground was kind enough to open up the office and get a space for me.

    Santa Cruz North-Costanoa KOA

    Great if you know what to expect

    We had a very nice stay for a long weekend. The pull through spaces are extremely tight to the point that our slide out was hitting vegetation and our neighbors awning was about two feet from our Rv. But, if you expect that, it’s a great place to stay. Very clean, well maintained, and about a 20 minute walk to the ocean. Decent takeout from the restaurant and great cocktails! Very convenient dog park. We had almost the entire row to ourselves after checkout on Sunday. We will definitely return for the full experience when all restrictions are lifted, but will leave our two big dogs at home as there wasn’t much space for them.

    Pillar Point RV Park

    Pricey, but worth it

    Great spot right off the highway and on the beach. Lots of activities and places to eat within walking distance. Surfing, walking/bike trails, kayaking….Pet friendly

    Gilroy Garlic USA RV Park

    Not bad for RV park

    First let me say RV parks are my least favorite places to stay, thus 4 stars. But when a heatwave comes through I need hookups for AC. I stayed 2 nights. Very clean grounds. Several shade trees. Lots of little kids. Wi-Fi was great. Could work and stream TV. Facilities (bathrooms and showers) were nice. Pool was wonderful. Staff were super friendly. Gave my dog a treat! Lots of dogs. Tiny dog park, gravel, but grassy areas around too. Right behind shopping center with Walmart, Target, Lowe's and much more. Only negatives were, even though it was a week after the 4th of July, both nights someone was shooting fireworks, sounded like in the park, so my poor dog was terrified. It also smelled like sewage. Someone said Gilroy often has a bad smell. My spot wasn't too bad but my sewer line was right in front of this other camper's front door. I was backed up inches from their slide-out. Rates were reasonable, considering full hookups, a pool and the Wi-Fi. I'd stay again if I'm in that area.

    Lower Blooms Creek — Big Basin Redwoods State Park — CAMPGROUND CLOSED

    Amazing camp sites

    No matter what site you reserve, all the site are amazing! We had #108. Near the bathroom, wash room, garbage dumpsters. The only con was the windy road! I eat sour patch kids to help with getting car sick. Easy to find. The site is pet friendly. You can only walk the dogs at paved areas, no trails. Our dogs still had fun. The redwood trees were amazing! Definitely an experience you will never forget!
