ScoutThe campground is close to relatively easy hiking trails and Portsmouth Dog Park. Clean site areas, but many are on a slight slop so leveling blocks are needed. We Took one of the nearby Trails get to the Portsmouth Publick House restaurant, which is dog friendly, for lunch. The waterfall along the blue trail is picture worthy.
GuideMost amazing weekend with tons of woods (privacy is huge for us). Very friendly guests and staff! Amazing weekend with lots of fun for the kids and even the dogs! We’ve been to campgrounds with playgrounds worse than the waters edge dog park. Every one of us had a great time with the perfect campsite deep in the woods (still able to park my 26’ camper trailer). Swimming pool, great playground, among lots of trails and wooded area surrounding almost every site. Best camping weekends we’ve ever had have been at Waters Edge.
GuideWe got a great pull through full hookup with a 5 minute walk to a huge dog park. There are also a bunch of beautiful trails right from the park
TravelerPerfect location for a summer / beach camp. Mostly for RVs but tent site #6 was great. Views of the ocean to wake up too and tucked away from main area.
Worst part is you can’t bring your car on the site. Do not understand this, especially since it was over 95° and we have dogs that need AC, one if which is 14. We did sneak the car up by asking an RV camper to use his land because they block off the entrance with giant tree trunks.
More good stuff, the private pet friendly beaches were great! Small but perfect to relax. No problems with the pets at all and old but clean bathrooms.
TravelerQuaint little campground. Not many tenting sites but along a beautiful lake. Pets allowed. Bathrooms close by 10, something to keep in mind. And they’re cash or check only! Taylor Pond is not far and a great hike to bring both kids and pets. This campground was perfect for us and our dog. Bring your own kayaks or use the campgrounds free of charge.
ScoutStandard crabgrass parking lot with drunks driving around on golf carts and RV's stacked on top of each other. The woman who runs the office is a very angry person and it made the entire visit unpleasant, which is no surprise as she has been hostile and unwelcoming the several times I've visited. Pool looks nice though I guess, I've never dared to use it for fear of breaking one of the many unwritten and unspoken rules. A great place for people who enjoy eating dinner next to your neighbor's septic pipe. I called to ask if they allowed dogs and was told "NO" just to arrive and be asked to park next to the dog park.
ScoutGreat family campground with lots of activities. A little pricey. Plenty of open space a dog park area. 3 pools a kiddie pool and outdoor in ground hot tub. Golf cart rentals. Very clean and accommodating
GuideThis park was very nice, but they advertise being 5 miles away from historic Newport, and it’s more like 8. There are zero bike paths that are immediately accessible and Newport drivers are not walker/biker friendly. No sidewalks on the Main Street to get you here. Ubers and Lyfts can be scarce and very expensive depending on the time of day. Between $16 to $78 rides…so, if you’re not towing, just something to be aware of. Neighbors were super nice and there is a great dog park (we think it’s city owned) with super nice doggo humans. Was good for a short stay - we just wish we had known how far out it really was because we really would have loved to spend more time downtown.
GuideWe stayed for 3 nights, the sites and camp were very clean and well maintained. Everyone was very friendly, lots of things to do - pool, bocce, volleyball, horseshoes, arcade, a small field to play frisbee or ball, mini-golf (mini-golf landscape needs to be refreshed a bit) there is even a very small fenced in dog park which was nice if you want to let your dog off leash to play. We did not experience any screaming kids all night.

Local campgrounds typically enforce leash policies while providing dedicated areas where dogs can explore trails and water features.
Kayaking near camp: At Devil's Hopyard State Park Campground, campers can fish for brook trout or explore the waterfall just steps from their sites. "The waterfall was a quick walk away and you could hike down to the river for a quick dip. The river isn't deep enough for a full swim but still was good enough on a hot day," notes Robert L.
Beach exploration: Niantic KOA offers a unique benefit for dog owners wanting to visit area beaches. "They will give free shuttle rides to 3 beaches & downtown Niantic, CT," shares camper Snooz H. This eliminates parking concerns when bringing your dog to coastal areas.
Casino entertainment: Odetah Camping Resort provides a convenient base for visiting Mohegan Sun Casino. "Tucked away in the woods I never knew this was there!

Clean facilities: Visitors to dog-friendly campgrounds near Uncasville frequently mention bathroom cleanliness as a priority. "Bathrooms were clean. No electricity at the sites. Will try a cabin next time," shares Cendy G. about Burlingame State Park Campground, which offers both tent camping and cabin options for those with pets.
Waterfront sites: Many campers value premium waterfront locations for camping with their dogs. "We had a spot right next to the pool and the docks. Very convenient. The staff does a great job," notes John K. about Crocker's Boatyard, where dogs can enjoy walking along the harbor.
Security features: Pet owners appreciate gated security at campgrounds when traveling with their animals. "Very friendly and helpful staff, great location, security gated after hours. Had water and 50 amp hookup. Very convenient to many attractions and restaurants," comments Frank I. This security prevents pets from encountering unfamiliar people entering the campground after hours.
Site spacing varies: Campground density can affect the camping experience with dogs. "Sites are very close together and little privacy, but our site was by far the most private (set back a little so bushes covered us from neighbors) and one of the largest sites on the campground," explains Shannon B. about Devil's Hopyard.
Seasonal restrictions: Not all campgrounds in the region operate year-round. Most dog-friendly campgrounds near Uncasville operate from May through October, with Rocky Neck State Park Campground specifically open "May 26 to September 29" according to state regulations.
Tick awareness: When camping with dogs in this region, vigilance for ticks is essential. "Be very careful with ticks, there were tons of them under our picnic table and by the campfire.

Activity scheduling: Sun Outdoors Mystic organizes regular events for families with pets. "Each weekend has a big schedule of events- farmers' market, themed activities and a band. In addition there is good fishing on the pond, mini-golf, pool and splash pad, etc. Kids are not bored here!" explains Anne M.
Kid-friendly wildlife viewing: When camping with children and dogs, the natural environment provides educational opportunities. "The wildlife was incredible, a beaver family lives in the marsh so every night around 10 they would be up splashing around loudly," describes Shannon B. about Devils Hopyard. This offers families a chance to observe wildlife without leaving their campsite.
Beach proximity: For families wanting beach access while camping with pets, Rocky Neck State Park offers water activities within walking distance. "My family has camped at Rocky Neck every year since i was a child. Every site had a central bathhouse and they have a variety of tree covering options for each campers preferences. The campsite is only a short walk from the beach," says Mauricio R.
Pull-through access: RV campers with dogs appreciate easy-to-navigate sites. "Well organized campground with both water front back in sites as well as large pull throughs. Pull through sites also have lots of space between them so you don't feel like you are on top of the neighbors," notes April L. about Aces High RV Park.
Tree maintenance: RVers should note that many campgrounds in the Uncasville area maintain trees to prevent interference with larger vehicles. "We enjoyed the shade trees on our site (#3) and noticed many sites had similar trees, but the owner keeps them trimmed to not interfere when parking on your site," shares April L. This makes navigating with larger rigs much easier.
Limited sewer hookups: Not all campgrounds offer full hookups. "Our site didn't have sewer, but the electric and water were working fine. We saw maintenance people making repairs while we were there," reports Pam R. about Sun Outdoors Mystic. Some campgrounds offer pump services as an alternative to sewer hookups.
