Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Goshen, IN

553 Reviews

Elkhart County Fairgrounds accommodates pets at its 275 full hookup sites with 50 amp service for $30 per night. Most pet-friendly campgrounds near Goshen feature grassy areas for dog walking, with the fairgrounds offering extensive grounds and access to nearby walking and biking trails. Ebys Pines Campground provides a dedicated dog park area that receives positive mentions from campers. Both locations offer varied accommodation types including tent sites, RV spots with full hookups, and in some cases, pet-friendly cabins. The fairgrounds particularly appeals to RV owners with pets due to its spacious layout and reasonable rates. Train noise at the fairgrounds runs 24/7 and may disturb sensitive pets during overnight stays.

Bonneyville Mill County Park connects to Ebys Pines via walking trails, creating extended pet exercise opportunities beyond the campground boundaries. Dogs must remain leashed on most campground properties and trails. The Elkhart Campground features a quarter-acre fenced dog area plus additional walking paths including a short trail through woods at the back of the property. Summer temperatures in the region can reach 90 degrees, requiring extra water and shade considerations for pets. Several campgrounds charge additional pet fees or deposits, with some limiting the number of pets allowed per site. Nearby downtown Goshen, less than two miles from the fairgrounds, provides access to restaurants, stores, and services including veterinary care if needed during your stay.

    Angola/Hogback Lake KOA Holiday

    Nice campground

    I stayed at this place when it was B&B and it is now a KOA. Several new sites were added and the park appears to be much cleaner. The restrooms are nice and the camp personnel are friendly. There is a dog park for walking the dog but with so much driveway I just walk the dog around the park. They have several dog bag stations around the park to make clean up easy. There are 3 playgrounds and boat area on the lake. I believe you can rent boats to fish even though I never have. I will definitely stay here again.

    Elkhart Campground

    3 1/2 star campground

    It is a very large older CG with a few upgrades. Clean, with decent amenities. We were placed in the rear section, which was just ok. Site needed leveling, had no shade at all and was close to major hwy. The front and side sites seemed nicer and had ample shade with some concrete sites. Laundry room, pool and bathrooms were very clean. Large dog park, but was far from our site. Was only 25 min from Notre Dame and about an hour from lake Michigan WiFi was great, no cable, but good antenna reception

    Warren Dunes State Park Campground

    Beautiful park with beach access

    The walk to the beach access is a beautiful one, and the beach is astounding! Pet friendly!

    Weko Beach Campground

    Great little campground

    Couple minute walk to the beautiful Lake Michigan beach. Waist deep most areas, waves can get big tho. The campgrounds beach is NOT pet friendly, but there is a flat boardwalk that takes you to a pet friendly area of beach of neighboring Warren dunes state park. Clean easy to locate water/trash/office areas. Friendly staff. They check the loops frequently and keep things tidy. Sandy but drivable roads(be careful in a washout). Flat nice sized lots. Clean bathroom/shower house! (Males and females share showers, could be concerning during busy season). Peaceful and quiet. Loved everything about our trip. (Be warned the camping lots are sand too, you will have sand everywhere! But its worth it!)

    Warren Dunes State Park Campground

    Can’t hear nature over 90/94 Traffic

    Semi-modern campsite are super close together with very limited privacy. Sites 6-9 have hardly any trees so tents need to be set up strategically for what limited privacy there is. Don’t count on being able to hang a hammock in all sites (site 9 had zero spot to hang one). The interstate is behind the small tree line and the traffic noise is insanely loud. If you are looking to unplug and relax in nature, I would pick another spot to camp. The highway was louder than the sounds of nature. My backyard in the city of Chicago is more serene than our campsite. The campsites are pretty far from the lake where driving is almost necessary. The positives include, decent hiking and pet friendly areas on the beach. I will not be camping here again.
