Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Duluth, GA

Stone Mountain Park Campground accommodates pets at all tent, RV, cabin, glamping, and yurt sites throughout the year. Fort Yargo State Park Campground and Margaritaville both allow dogs at their cabin accommodations, providing more options beyond standard campsites. Shady Grove Campground in Cumming maintains pet-friendly policies across all 90 sites, with picnic tables and fire rings at most spots. Visitors with larger dogs report no breed restrictions at most area campgrounds. Several sites feature walking paths near camping areas for convenient pet exercise.

Red Top Mountain State Park Campground provides hiking trails accessible from pet-friendly campsites. The concrete pads at many area RV parks offer clean surfaces for pet areas outside campers. Seasonal considerations affect pet comfort, with shaded sites being essential during Georgia summers when ground temperatures can reach unsafe levels for paws. The staff at Jones RV Park maintains strict pet waste policies but provides designated areas for dogs. Twin Lakes prohibits swimming or kayaking in the lake but allows fishing with dogs present on shore. Campers note that most campground stores do not stock emergency pet supplies, so bringing extra food and basic veterinary items is recommended.

    Diamond Lure Campground

    Awesome Campground

    This Campground is amazing. The woman in the office is so nice and very helpful. They have workers escort you to your site to make sure everything is OK. The man who escorted us was very nice, and made sure we knew where everything was (even after being told at the office). I loved that. The grounds are super clean. There are walking trails, a lake, a beach, and they even have things for dogs! (Dog bath, dog beach, dog park, ect). I'd recommend this place 1,000 times over!!!

    Stone Mountain Park Campground

    So close to me and I love it.

    Lived in Georgia my whole life and yet my first time to Stone Mountain was literally three years ago. Now we have an annual pass and go all the time. This place is world renowned for its fireworks and laser show but you have to go off the pavement to truly fall in love with Stone Mountain! This place is great for everyone. I mean everyone, from free runners to hikers and all you folk that like to “camp” in your RVs. Visit this place anytime of year and you will not be disappointed. Apparently it’s rated #1 as the best place to camp in Georgia. I’m more into the nature only kind of camping but that’s not everyone’s cup a tea. Stone Mountain has something for everyone.

    Shady Grove Campground

    Great views

    We are at spot 97 and was suppose to get 44. The host at the front office gave us a different spot that would be easier access to our 40ft 5th wheel. The view is fantastic. We brought 2 dogs which they enjoyed the scenery. They are firm on making sure pet owners have their leash on and do not free roam. A lot of deer just walking around. Bathrooms are in good shape. We plan on staying a week. No Wi-Fi so we are using hotspots on our cells. We have Verizon and showing 2 bar LTE.

    Fort Yargo State Park Campground

    Relaxation in The Woods

    Fort Yargo is in the Winder Ga area and is close to Helen, Jefferson, Athens and Atlanta. Entering the campground is a nice paved road and leads to tent camping, cabins, yurts and RV sites.

    Very clean park and has Historical area, playground, tennis court, bike and hike trails. Not to mention beach and boating area.

    Picnics, camping, boating biking and camping or just day use areas. Pet friendly and all around great park.

    There is a small general store, but you are so close to everything if you need it, it's there.

    Gread for the Georgia Bulldog crowd as its less then 30 minutes!

    I recommend this park highly.

    Stone Mountain Park Campground

    Awesome grounds with basic to full-hookups. Pet friendly.

    Awesome grounds in a family and pet friendly atmosphere. Neighbors were kind and helpful. Very quiet and peaceful time. Walking the grounds was nice and hilly. There’s also trails in between areas and around the campground. If you like the water, bring your trunks, kayaks, and poles.

    Wesley Oaks RV Park

    Expensive + additonal fees

    925 per month regardless of class size. 400 dollar security deposit plus a 50 dollar pet rent every month. Apartments charge less for security deposits+ pet rent (especially this high!) is something I’ve yet to hear of for an RV park. For a small 30 amp camper van, it’s just not justifiable to pay the same price as a big rig.

    Talona Ridge RV Resort

    One of the Better RV Resorts Out There

    As our Brinkley G3500 is 13’ 8” high, we routed to miss a 13’ 7” bridge on a small portion of US-76 just off of US-411. Instead of taking the left turn onto US-76, we stayed on US-411 down to GA-136. We had followed the RV Life navigation, which routed us this way to avoid the low bridge. We were the first official check in for the Brinkley rally arriving around noon. We checked in and were escorted to pull through site H-48 with FHUs in the bottom Hawk level of this large campground (CG). The pull throughs in this part of the CG were plenty long enough for our 40’ toy hauler and F450 to include being able to put the patio down. The utilities are at the middle of the pad so you can adjust according to your needs. The water pressure was good at around 50 psi. From talking to other campers in this area, some had lower water pressure and took their regulators off. There are not a lot of mature trees so satellite was not a problem. We got 4 bars on Verizon and the CG WiFi was above average for a park of this size. We were near their nice sized dog park that has separate areas for large and small dogs. Their Welcome Center with a gift shop is very nice and they have super friendly customer service. There are a lot of amenities here such as pool(soon to be a second pool for kids), pickleball, propane, laundry, and curbside trash pickup. The owners of Talona Ridge continue to take inputs from RVers on how to improve the CG. There’s a plan to expand RV sites across the street primarily for smaller rigs. This was our second rally at this location and we would definitely come back for another rally or on our own.
