Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Glyndon, MN

Buffalo River State Park Campground welcomes pets throughout its two camping loops, with both electric and non-electric sites available for dog owners. Located just 15 minutes east of Glyndon, the park features clean facilities with modern bathrooms and free showers that receive consistent praise from campers with pets. Lindenwood Campground in nearby Fargo offers full hookup sites where pets are permitted, though some reviewers note the proximity to Interstate 94 creates background noise that might disturb sensitive animals. Maplewood State Park Campground provides pet-friendly accommodations across multiple camping areas, including sites with lake views where dogs can enjoy shoreline access. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash requirements, typically six feet or less, and expect owners to clean up after their pets. Several campers report successfully recovering lost pets at Buffalo River with help from staff and fellow campers who posted notices and contained the animal until owners returned.

The trail systems throughout these pet-friendly campgrounds offer excellent opportunities for dog walking, with Buffalo River State Park providing prairie and riverside paths where leashed dogs can explore diverse ecosystems. Jorgen's Hollow Campground, located about an hour south of Glyndon, features direct access to the North Country Trail where hikers with dogs can venture into the Sheyenne Grasslands. Water-loving dogs find opportunities at Maplewood State Park's multiple lakes, including Grass Lake and Beers Lake, though owners should be prepared for occasional wildlife encounters including beavers and muskrats. Summer temperatures in the region can reach uncomfortable levels for pets, making shaded campsites particularly valuable during peak season. Ticks and black flies become active in May, requiring preventative measures for dogs exploring trails. The campgrounds typically provide water access, but bringing portable dog bowls and extra water for hiking is recommended.
