Sutton Falls Camping Area welcomes pets at its lakeside campsites with full hookups for RVs and pet-friendly cabin accommodations. The spacious, private peninsula sites offer campers and their four-legged companions access to pristine Aldrich Mill Pond, while the campground's proximity to Purgatory Chasm State Reservation provides additional trail options for dog walking. Other pet-friendly campgrounds near Grafton include Circle Campground Farm with its large, well-maintained sites that accommodate both tent camping and RVs. Most campgrounds in the area require pets to remain leashed at all times, with designated pet waste stations throughout the grounds.

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.
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
ScoutWe 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.
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.
ScoutFirst 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!
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.
ScoutI’ve been coming here with my family for years and it’s always a great time. Very clean camp sites, bathrooms and showers, roads, and playgrounds...all public areas are immaculate. Lots of activities for kids, teens, and adults. Great dog park. Sites are large and level and free from low hanging branches. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Normandy Farms Campground. You won’t be disappointed.
Sutton Falls Camping Area's pet-friendly sites border pristine Aldrich Mill Pond, offering campers and their dogs convenient access to waterfront recreation. The family-run campground welcomes pets at both tent and RV sites, with full hookup options available for extended stays. Dogs must remain leashed throughout the common areas, though many sites provide enough space for pets to relax comfortably. Circle Campground Farm Campground also accommodates pets with spacious gravel sites that provide adequate room for vehicles and pet enclosures. Both campgrounds maintain clean facilities with shower houses and restrooms accessible to campers with animals. Seasonal campers note the campgrounds have trash collection services, eliminating concerns about pet waste disposal during longer stays. The grounds are generally well-maintained with staff regularly mowing common areas while being careful around campsites.
Hiking trails at nearby Douglas State Forest connect directly to Douglas Forest RV Resort, allowing convenient pet exercise opportunities without driving. Many water-loving dogs enjoy swimming access at Sutton Falls where the lake provides cooling relief during summer camping trips. Purgatory Valley Farm permits pets in their primitive camping areas, giving working farm experience with dogs alongside blossoming campsites. Most campgrounds in the region require vaccination records upon check-in and enforce quiet hours that help maintain peaceful environments for all campers. Large-breed owners should confirm specific site dimensions when booking, as some locations have limited space between camping areas. Seasonal considerations include spring mud conditions at waterfront sites and summer heat concerns for pets with thick coats. The sites near Manchaug Lake provide excellent fishing opportunities while keeping pets entertained with swimming access and shaded walking paths.
