Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Round Mountain, CA

Lassen-Shingletown KOA provides additional amenities for campers with dogs, including picnic tables and trash receptacles convenient for pet owners. Hirz Bay Campground allows pets but campers should be aware of wildlife encounters, as visitors have reported bear activity near campsites, making proper food storage and pet supervision essential.

The campground requires substantial travel time on unpaved roads, with visitors noting it takes approximately one hour on windy dirt roads to reach this secluded location. Dogs enjoy cooling off in the water at Jones Valley Inlet Shoreline Campground where pet owners can access the shoreline for swimming opportunities. At Ellery Creek, pets are permitted with easy access to water, though mud conditions may vary with seasonal water levels. Wildlife considerations are important when camping with pets in this region, as rattlesnake sightings have been reported at multiple locations, particularly during summer months.

    Beehive Point Shoreline Campground

    Great Location With Caution

    This was a nice short distance away from the i5. Great view of greenery and lake and the night stars. If you happen to have pets be cautious there is a lot of broken glass everywhere, my dog had several cuts on her pads.

    Mount Shasta City KOA Holiday

    Relaxation in the trees

    Cute town and peaceful campground. Clean bathrooms and showers. Pool, game room, shuffle board, basketball court and off leash dog park. Lots of trees in the sites great for hammocking (in the tent sites). I would definitely stay here again.

    Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

    Great camping for tent or RV

    We highly recommend this campground as they have all the amenities…a general store, boat rental, cabin rental, activities for the kiddos, a dog park and pub. Water, toilets and showers are readily available, though a bit in need of a good coat of paint and showers need cleaning/updating .

    Hayward Flat

    Family camp out

    The campground was beautiful with easy access to the lake and spacious sites that easily fit our large family. This campground was also pet friendly and welcoming to our dogs as well.Our only complaints were that there was no lightning in the bathroom and the quiet hours were not enforced as we were woken up by loud partying well after 2 am.

    McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park Campground

    Beautiful falls, tiny park

    Falls were gorgeous. Rum trail is an easy little walk (largely paved). Large picnic area. Not much else to do in the park but good stop if you are thru hiking the PCT.

    Bathrooms were clean, flush toilets, hot showers. NO cell service. Had a little camp shop.

    NOT a very dog-friendly park, didn’t even see a pet area for them to get out and potty.

    Mt. Lassen-Shingletown KOA

    Wonderful!

    So, we already knew we were in trouble. Lassen Volcanic was closed(it was on fire), which is the whole reason we were here. Lots of smoke, but the campground wasn't in danger. We came in anyway. This was the last stop before we started home.

    The campground had a lot of cancellations, so it was unusually quiet. That didn't bother us! We had a back in site- 33. The best site in the campground! It's close to the dog park if you have a dog.

    The bathroom/shower is 3 sites down. Very clean. 

    Also close to the walking trail, basketball/volleyball courts& a neat tree swing. All this is under tall pines. This isn't a large campground, but it's VERY nice. Lots of trees& shady. Has a gift shop at the office. 

    The pool was open. Lots of hornets& 2 people got stung while in the pool. They have traps out, but the hornets are persistent!

     Laundry I didn't use, but it's there if you need it. Everything was very clean. Service was friendly.

    So, this is a good base for Lassen Volcanic. Since we couldn't go, there's other things to see. McArthur Burney Falls is a bit of a drive, but well worth it. We also stopped at Subway Cave, which we loved& Hat Creek Rim Overlook(which was a waste of time with the smoke). The rest of the day we chilled at the pool! We will definitely be back someday to see Lassen!

    McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park Campground

    Love Burney Falls......

    Nice state park and so much to see and do in the area. Burney Falls is gorgeous. The only thing I didn’t like was the dirt..lol. This area is made from diatomaceous earth and every step you take,a little poof of dust rises up. I must have washed my feet 2 dozen times in one day. If you have pets, be carefull if they come into your tent or RV, you’ll have dust everywhere.
