Haas Lake Park RV Campground welcomes dogs with several pet-friendly sites across its four-lake property. Pet owners can reserve full-hookup sites with lakefront views where leashed pets are permitted throughout the common areas. Bishop Lake Campground and Proud Lake Recreation Area both maintain pet-friendly policies with designated walking areas for dogs. The entire campground at Wayne County Fairgrounds RV Park allows pets, though some campers have noted issues with other guests not cleaning up after their dogs, leading to strict enforcement of pet waste policies ['Campers browse The Dyrt when exploring the best sites near Plymouth, Michigan.']. Camp Dearborn and Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA provide cabin options where pets are permitted with proper supervision. All campgrounds require pets to remain on leash at all times, with most limiting pets to two per site.
Dog-friendly hiking trails surround many of these campgrounds, particularly at Highland State Recreation Area and Island Lake Recreation Area where pets can access designated swimming areas during warmer months. Pet owners camping at Bishop Lake appreciate the spacious sites that provide adequate room for pets to rest comfortably near tents or RVs without disturbing neighbors. Wayne County Fairgrounds offers walking access to nearby stores through a gap in the fence, convenient for purchasing pet supplies. The dirt roads at Haas Lake Park require slow driving but provide excellent morning walking routes for dogs. Most campgrounds maintain quiet hours starting at 10pm, when excessive barking is discouraged. Wildlife encounters are common in these areas, so keeping dogs leashed protects both local animals and pets during camping stays.

GuideA mostly seasonal campground that can be had to find. Super amenities with huge pool and large field with dog park, baseball field, bags, basketball and sand volleyball. Many trails to walk.
ScoutWe 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.
GuideVery 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.
GuideNice 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.

TravelerGreat opportunities for winter sports. Pools, lakes, mini golf. Designed for young families. Pet friendly but has restrictions on the type of dog.
ScoutThis 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.

Bathrooms were dated and we arrived Monday after Labor Day so I can't judge them. They had a FULL HOUSE on Labor Day per the front gate. I was very impressed there was no garbage at campsites and picked up very well.
GREAT biking trails you can catch on premise and bike over to Kensington and to the charming town of Milford
RangerA 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 :-)

Paddling the Huron River: The water access points at Island Lake Recreation Area allow canoe and kayak launching for river exploration.
