Prospect Mountain Campground and RV Park welcomes pets at all site types, including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and glamping accommodations. The grounds feature spacious, shaded areas ideal for dogs, with many campsites situated near a pond where pets can cool off during summer months. The campground maintains clean facilities with accessible water sources throughout the property. Bathrooms and showers are kept in excellent condition, important for campers with muddy dogs after rainy days. Staff members are consistently helpful and quick to assist with pet-related questions. Every campsite includes a fire ring and picnic table, allowing families and their pets to enjoy meals outdoors together. Sites range from primitive tent areas to full hook-up RV locations, all permitting pets with proper supervision.
Granville State Forest and Tolland State Forest both offer pet-friendly camping options with varied terrain for dog walking. At Granville, site 11 provides exceptional seclusion compared to other locations, perfect for campers whose dogs need extra space. Bear boxes are available at campsites, essential for safely storing pet food away from wildlife. Hiking trails begin directly from the campgrounds, offering multiple options for exercising dogs on leashes. Otis Reservoir at Tolland provides clean, accessible water where dogs can swim, though some rocky areas make water entry challenging. The American Legion State Forest in nearby Connecticut features spacious, private sites right along the Farmington River, popular among anglers with dogs. Mosquitoes can be problematic during summer months, requiring protective measures for both humans and pets. None of these state forest campgrounds offer designated dog parks, but their natural settings and trail systems provide ample exercise opportunities for leashed pets.

ScoutWe have enjoyed our stay. Nice campground with lots of activities and things to do. However, we picked this place because it has an enclosed dog park. It does have an enclosed dog park but the fence is only 3 feet high. While this might be fine for some dogs, I have 2 young border collies that will jump that fence like it is not even there.
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.
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.
GuideMy first visit to New York state was amazing, largely in part due to my campsite at the Woodland Hills campground. I had a back in site and was having problems with my camper, and they were able to change to a pull through at time of check in. However, it was in early May and before the summer crowds. The pond has a fountain which sounds like a small waterfall at night, and wildflowers were in bloom. Very nice bathrooms and showers, and my dog loved the dog park.
ScoutBeautiful clean campground! Great for kids and pets. We love taking the dog to the dog beach for a swim.
Camp store is great, fun fishing on the lake and tons of activities for the kids.
GuideMiles and miles of country/forests surrounding pine acres, however pulling in you’ll soon realize how much goes on inside the campground. AWESOME pools (very kid friendly), parks, dog park, hiking trails and even sections off of the trails to find your own private beach on the water. Went there in a tent rather than our camper, which turned out to be better. Tent sites were very dispersed and way up on the top of the mountain. Camper sites seemed a little close but worth the sacrifice due to the incredible environment. On the more expensive side but worth the money if you have kids. Another big plus was the abundance of wood to get from fallen trees (not having to pay for the expensive bundles at the store) and the size of the fire pits
RangerI really wanted to like this place. It's in a very cool area that I didn't expect to be so awesome. First main issue was how bad the cell reception is. Normally, I'd day that's a perk for camping but we're full-timers and work on the road so it is important for us. Next, the place is massive and they are more about make money than making people comfortable. What could easily be a very nice and spacious pull-thru spot are 2 back to back back-ins. Unless you're lucky enough to get an end spot, those are pull-thru. Pros: awesome dog park, great office with laundry, activities, arcades, adult only room, community campfire, indoor pool with lifeguard, the staff is nice, there's a lake for swimming, boating, catch and release fishing. Their basketball court is on a shuffleboard court, playground is nice though. Close to Old Sturbridge Village and many cool hikes and MA cities.
GuideLocated just over the CT border near Granby, Granville is a tiny secluded campsite. The problem is you can't trust the scale of the camp map online. We thought we had booked the most secluded site only to find that the sites are about 15 feet from each other. Not very enjoyable. Although there are a few sites that would be good for large groups. It is still a nice visit for a day hike. Tons of trials right off the campground. And lots of fishing off the Farmington River and local pond.
ScoutGrounds well kept. Shaded sites. Quiet areas in lower roads with mostly seasonal. Reasonable cost. 30 amp only. Many full hookups. Pet friendly.

**Spacious waterfront sites: Tolland State Forest Campground offers lakeside camping on Otis Reservoir. "We love Tolland and have had good luck securing lakefront sites. We have brought out kayaks and took off right from the site. There are rocks to get into the water but the water is clean and not mucky," explains Rebecca D.
