Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Stevensville, MI
Warren Dunes State Park Campground permits pets throughout its 121-site campground along Lake Michigan's eastern shore. Most campsites accommodate tents, RVs, cabins, and glamping setups with pets allowed at all accommodation types. Nearby Weko Beach Campground also welcomes dogs with sites situated just a short walk from Lake Michigan beaches. Both campgrounds require pets to remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet at all times in camping areas. The parks provide designated pet waste disposal stations and water access points suitable for dogs. Warren Dunes connects to several pet-friendly hiking trails through wooded dunes with moderate elevation changes. Campers note the campground enforces quiet hours that apply to barking dogs, with site rangers regularly checking compliance throughout the evening hours.
Boardwalks connecting Weko Beach Campground to the adjacent Warren Dunes State Park lead to dog-friendly beach areas where pets can enjoy Lake Michigan waters. Most hiking trails throughout the region permit leashed dogs, though pets must be kept away from protected dune restoration areas. Seasonal considerations include heavy mosquito populations during summer months that can affect pets, particularly in wooded campsites. Several sites at Weko Beach Campground feature elevated positions with views of Lake Michigan while still accommodating pets. Sites with water and electric hookups are available for RV campers traveling with dogs, though the Weko Beach bathhouse facilities receive mixed reviews for cleanliness and maintenance. Multiple veterinary clinics operate within a 15-minute drive of both campgrounds, with emergency services available in St. Joseph.
