    Wompatuck State Park Campground welcomes pets at both tent and RV sites from mid-May to mid-October. Located in Hingham, the campground offers drive-in and walk-in access with full hookup capabilities including electric, water, and sewer connections. Several dog-friendly campgrounds in the Duxbury area maintain pet-friendly policies with varying amenities. Boston/Cape Cod KOA in Middleboro permits pets at all accommodation types including tents, RVs, cabins, and glamping sites. This campground operates seasonally from March 15 to November 15 with 262 sites featuring electric hookups, water access, and fire rings. Ellis-Haven Family Campground provides pet-friendly camping options with lakefront access, though camping with dogs requires adherence to leash rules. Pinewood Lodge Campground maintains designated dog parks for off-leash exercise, greatly benefiting campers with pets.

    Myles Standish State Forest offers multiple pet-friendly camping areas with Curlew Pond and Charge Pond campgrounds allowing dogs throughout their facilities. The campgrounds maintain clean, upgraded bathrooms and private shower rooms, though sites position relatively close to one another with limited privacy between neighbors. Campers report mixed experiences depending on neighboring campers, with rangers patrolling regularly to maintain quiet hours and camping regulations. Jellystone Park Cranberry Acres permits pets at nearly 300 sites between April and October, though recent reviews indicate management concerns. Most area campgrounds require pets to remain leashed when outside designated exercise areas, with Pinewood Lodge receiving particular praise for its double dog parks. The proximity to Plymouth provides convenient access to pet supplies and veterinary services when needed.

      Pinewood Lodge Campground

      Nice woodsy campsite with lots of amenities

      We visited in early June and really appreciated the shade at our site as the temps rose into the mid-80’s. There are lots of tall pine trees but are trimmed back and not a problem getting or big-rig through the park or in our site. We loved site 47 which was long and level with nice grass around it. The next site (46) was pretty close, but luckily nobody was in it while we visited. Our patio area was fairly large with no other sites next to it, just a road. We chose a 50A/water pull thru site and the electric was good at 124 volts on each leg. Honey wagon service is quite expensive at $35/pump out, or you can use the dump station for free. We used the campground cable tv and got about 60 stations, included the major stations (local news was out of Boston). This was a good thing since the trees blocked our Dish receiver from getting any channels. The wifi was 2.4G and just o.k. You could surf the internet but definitely not strong enough to stream.  I went to the lodge and got great wifi speed to download movies quickly. 

      The campground is gated and charges$15/day for visitors. There are lots of amenities. There is a good access to a small lake (with a canoe/kayak launch and rentals), fishing pier (for catch and release, no license required), ice cream stand, food truck, playground, a large dog park (with two runs), laundry, playground, horseshoes, etc. The campground is conveniently to the downtown Plymouth attractions (10 minutes) and a grocery store (2 miles).  

      The biggest downside was the dust since most of the roads are gravel. It was very dry during our visit and the dust was crazy. Another negative was the $5/day pet fee. There are restrictions as to where you can walk your pets in the campground and they are not allowed on the beach.  There is a good size dog park with two runs.  If you dog is afraid of gunshots, do not come here as there is a gun range nearby that is pretty loud.

      Newport RV Park

      Clean sites and easy hiking trails

      The 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.

      Beautiful

      Nice and quiet, here for a 3 night stay. 4 star because there are signs posted No dogs allowed on the road to the beach or other areas in the campground, limits walking. There is a dog park, though.

      Newport RV Park

      Best dog park

      We 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

      Wompatuck State Park Campground

      Great spot with Plenty of History

      We chose this spot for a family weekend. Sites are spacious. Water from nearby facet. Because it was local and had history behind it. Rhe campground is within a state park and is built on a old military base. You can still see some bunkers with their vents all around the campground. Blue Mountain spring water can be found right near campground for some refreshing water. We brought our chow chows and their was a great harbor side dog park a short drive away along with some swimming. I would visit again.

      Pinewood Lodge Campground

      Good Spot

      Site was level, staff was awesome. They do have a dog park and plenty of things to do. Didn't like that you have to pay for hot water though.

      Atlantic Oaks Campground

      Nice campground

      Fairly large, mostly RV and travel trailer park, we felt right at home in our popup. Check in and out were simple. Sites are large although a little close together. Mostly sandy gravel sites with lots of shade available. There are a few really nice tent sites next to the playground, close to the store, showers, and restrooms.

      Facilities were uncrowded and very clean. Camp store was nice with lots of supplies available. Wonderful playground for the kids, big and small. Great little dog park.

      The location of this campsite is perfect! Short drive to many of the best beaches on the Cape. Lots to do in the immediate area for families, plenary of restaurant options.

      We will definitely return!

      Normandy Farms Campground

      This is what Glamping was made for

      First things first- no bugs!! That’s right I didn’t know what I was missing till I notice I wasn’t getting bit alive by mosquitoes!!! They spray for them!!! So you can enjoy the outside without the pesky bites that come with camping!

      Then of course there is the luxury of having two pools, a ton of fun activities for kids, (fishing , dog park, horseshoes, tennis, basketball, etc)! It’s probably my favorite spot in New England merely for all the luxuries that come with this site!!!

      Plus you are close to Gillette and shopping!! Can get better then that!


    Guide to Duxbury

    Wompatuck State Park Campground accommodates tent and RV campers with pets from mid-May to mid-October, offering both drive-in and walk-in access sites. Nearby Pinewood Lodge Campground maintains dedicated dog areas with two separate dog parks providing safe off-leash exercise spaces for pets. Boston/Cape Cod KOA in Middleboro permits pets in its cabin accommodations alongside traditional tent and RV sites, operating seasonally from March 15 to November 15. Ellis-Haven Family Campground receives consistent praise for its pet-friendly atmosphere with spacious sites, operating May 1 through October 14. Most campgrounds require pets to remain leashed outside designated exercise areas, and some limit dogs from certain beach or swimming areas. Campground bathrooms and facilities are typically well-maintained, but campers should check specific pet policies when reserving.

    Myles Standish State Forest campgrounds allow pets at both Charge Pond and Curlew Pond locations, offering varied camping experiences with pond access for swimming and paddling. Campers note that site privacy varies significantly between loops, with some sites positioned directly on the water but close to neighboring campsites. The clean, upgraded bathrooms receive positive mentions, though several visitors caution about temperature control issues in showers. Rangers patrol regularly to maintain family-friendly environments, which generally keeps noise levels manageable. Pet owners should come prepared with waste bags as facilities can be limited at some locations. The ponds provide excellent recreation for families with dogs, though some areas restrict pet access to swimming areas during peak season. Visitors should secure campsite reservations well in advance during summer months as pet-friendly sites fill quickly.
