Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Pittsford, MI

Lake Hudson Recreation Area welcomes pets across its rustic 50-site campground situated alongside a serene lake. The private, tree-separated campsites provide ample space for campers with dogs, with large, grassy sites that several reviewers note are perfect for pets to stretch out. Sites 37 and 38 offer excellent lakefront views with plenty of running space for dogs. The recreation area features hiking trails accessible to leashed pets, with campers reporting well-maintained paths that follow the shoreline. Electric hookups are available at all sites, though water access is limited to a single hand pump near the campground entrance, so pet owners should bring containers for their animals' drinking water.

The extensive shoreline and beach areas allow for dog-friendly water recreation, with multiple boat access points where pets can enjoy swimming. Campers particularly appreciate the thick vegetation between sites that creates a secluded atmosphere while providing natural exploration areas for leashed dogs. The campground's designation as a dark sky preserve means minimal lighting at night, creating peaceful evening walks for dog owners. Vault toilets serve the pet-friendly campground, though no shower facilities exist. For those traveling with pets in RVs, several nearby campgrounds offer more amenities, including Gateway Park Campground and 6 Lakes Campground, both of which provide full hookup sites with pet accommodations and are located within 30 minutes of Pittsford.

    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.

    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.

    Harrison Lake State Park Campground

    Quiet place to get away

    We have been here a few times. Really enjoy the secluded sites and the lake. It’s a small campground but it’s clean and quiet. Most sites don’t have water hookups but they do have electric. There isn’t much to do outside of the campground but there is a nice lake with canoe and kayak rentals. Very pet friendly and even has a dog beach.

    Lake Hudson Recreation Area

    Lakeside Tent Camping

    This is a lovely recreation area. My site is HUGE. It is private! You will need the long cord if you plan on using electricity. There is a yellow service phone at the headquarters to check-in. I bought my wood in state on my way in. There is no place to purchase wood here. My site has a path right out to the lake. My 2p tent could easily fit on this lakeside spot but it is sadly much too windy on the lake today. The fire ring is far to the front of the site but if you had a larger group, I think the location of the ring would be nice. My site is spotless. Everything is wonderful. This is my first visit here and I chose it because I wanted a quick overnight with a water feature close to home. You can day hike one the Pittsford section of the NCT. It’s only a 20+ minute drive away.
