Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Gregory, MI

537 Reviews

Bruin Lake Campground in Pinckney Recreation Area welcomes pets throughout all campsites with electric hookups for tent, RV, cabin, and glamping accommodations. The campground provides picnic tables and fire rings at pet-friendly sites, with a lakefront location that allows dogs access to water areas for cooling off during warmer months. Dogs must remain leashed at all times when outside vehicles or tents, and owners should bring waste bags as dedicated pet waste stations are limited. Campers report the staff effectively manages noise levels with a "quiet time is all the time" policy that creates a peaceful environment for pets sensitive to loud noises. Waterloo Recreation Area's Green Lake and Sugarloaf campgrounds also accommodate pets with similar policies across their tent and RV sites.

The Potawatomi Trail connecting to Blind Lake Rustic Campground offers excellent dog-friendly hiking options, though pet owners should watch for mountain bikers who travel at high speeds along shared paths. Both Pinckney and Waterloo recreation areas feature interconnected lakes ideal for dogs who enjoy swimming, with Bruin Lake connecting to several other lakes in a chain that provides multiple water access points. Site B3 at Blind Lake is particularly popular for campers with dogs, offering immediate lakefront access and beautiful views. During summer months, the lake water remains warm enough for comfortable dog swimming. Cell service is limited throughout most campgrounds in the region, so pet owners should research nearby veterinary services in advance and bring any necessary medications or supplies for their pets.

    Camp Sequoia

    Quiet, Friendly Campground

    We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Delivered our firewood right to our site. Lots of shade trees, beautiful well groomed trails for walking. Even a dog park, which our Golden Retriever really enjoyed.

    Pontiac Lake Recreation Area

    Private camping

    Very private sites. I was surprised at how well each site was hidden from the others. Restrooms can be a bit far from some sites. Nice little dog park by the beach too.

    Camp Agawam

    Great retreat for Canadians

    I come down to Detroit from Windsor every year to camp in Michigan with friends and this year we went to this very nice campsite in Orion Twp and I loved it. This was the first year we started our trip in Toronto, thanks to a solar company at https://www.solarpowertoronto.com/ who installed solar panels on our RV. We were able to camp from Toronto to Orion Twp and had a great time. Will be doing the same next year.

    Holiday RV Campground

    Nice Park

    Nice park for full timers. Large spots to accommodate big rigs and kids. Full hook ups. Cell service great with Verizon hotspot (22u, 20d, 38ms and AT&T cell(27d, 20u, 27ms). Playgrounds everywhere for the kids. Giant dog park and ponds. Pool was closed. Just needs more grass. Our spot was really patchy and resulted in a lot of mud.

    Great campground with polite and helpful staff. Don’t pass this one up.

    Clear Water Campgrounds

    Love, love, love this campground.

    This is a quiet, friendly and family campground. The staff is very willing to help any way they can. The sites are level and spacious.

    A great place for the kids! With a beach, playground and paved roads is nice but the frosting in this cake is the petting zoo. Animals from bunnies, peacocks & cats to horses, goats and of course Milton the burro, get it? Milton Burro, LOL

    The store has stuff for the kids at very reasonable prices and the ice cream shop across the street is a nice walk after dinner. There's a light there for safe crossing, too.

    Try this place, you'll add this to your good memories.

    No credit or debit cards. Cash and checks only.

    Clearwater Campground

    Nice!

    A fun little campground with a nice bunch of petting zoo type animals! The beach is clean and the lake is warm! Very nice layout with walking trail around the lake. The only complaint was not nearly enough trash cans around (like, none easy to find) and the bathrooms were nasty for our 2 day visit. Price per night for full hook up was $40 :-)
