Pillsbury State Park Campground permits pets across all tent and RV sites. This 10-acre park features multiple camping loops with designated pet-friendly areas where leashed dogs can accompany their owners. Sandy Beach Campground and Spacious Skies French Pond also welcome pets, with both offering full hookup sites where dogs can stay with their owners. The bathrooms at Sandy Beach stay clean and accessible for campers with dogs. Most campgrounds enforce standard leash policies, typically requiring pets to be on a 6-foot leash when outside the RV or tent. Pet waste stations are available throughout the camping areas, and many sites feature picnic tables where dogs can rest in the shade while their families enjoy meals outdoors.
Keyser Pond Campground maintains hiking trails directly accessible from pet-friendly sites, allowing for convenient dog walks without driving. Dogs are not permitted in the swimming areas at Keyser Pond, though pets can still enjoy shoreline areas on leash. Oxbow Campground receives high ratings from pet owners for its accommodating staff and fishing pond where leashed dogs can accompany their owners. Seasonal sites at Cold Springs Camp Resort and Autumn Hills Campground provide longer-term options for RVers traveling with pets. Most campgrounds require proof of current rabies vaccination at check-in, and portable pet containment systems are generally permitted if they remain within the designated campsite boundaries. Veterinary services are available within a 20-minute drive of most Warner-area campgrounds for emergency pet care needs.

GuideAdorable little camp! In New Hampshire; Vermont is across the river on the north side of the property. Nice bathroom, showers, laundry room, library. Spacious lots with tables and fire rings. Some long time campers are set up.
RangerThis place is pretty awesome. They have an ice cream shop attached to their office/store, mini golf just outside of it too. There is an amphitheater for concerts and shows throughout the summer. RV Spots, tent camping spots, a dog park, badminton, basketball, horseshoe, shuffleboard, the works. The bathrooms are beautifully redone and clean. The laundry room is pretty good too. Its close to Brattleboro and Putney and just across the border to New Hampshire. I'd most definitely stay again when I'm in the area. The other guest were very nice and we could also have packages delivered.
ScoutPros- very clean, bathrooms kept up with regularly. Staff is very nice. They offer boat rentals, canoes, paddle boats and kayaks. Store on site and they do activities during the week. Definitely more kids friendly I think. They do have a pool, park, dog park, lake and food trucks visits at times. They have community fires and dances. Pet friendly. Wood available on site.
Cons- loud cars going all night, some lights in your face. Some people tend to fly down the road on golf carts. You can also hear the main road from the open style campsite. No privacy. People will walk threw your tent site. They will talk during the night while doing this, smoking seems to be allowed at pool. No fires between 9am-5pm.
Overall we had a good time.
ScoutYogi’s Jellystone Park– Milton, New Hampshire: Seasonal Camper Review I have been camping at Yogi’s Jellystone Park in Milton for five years, including the last two as a seasonal camper. Unfortunately, my recent experiences under new management have been disappointing and frustrating. Pet Fence Policy and Safety Concerns At the start of this season, the new general manager, Amanda, instructed me to remove my pet fence, citing liability issues. Despite my having signed a waiver absolving the park of responsibility for my dog’s actions, she insisted on its removal without providing a clear explanation. I complied reluctantly, only to observe many other campsites retaining similar pet fences throughout the season, including one seasonal camper who kept theirs up all season and transient sites with fences as well. This inconsistent enforcement of rules is unfair and undermines trust. After seeing others with pet fences, I reinstated mine to protect my dog, especially after two incidents where loose dogs entered my site and charged at my dog. Amanda then threatened me with non-renewal of my seasonal contract if I did not remove the fence again, forcing me to comply once more. I wrote to corporate regarding this issue since Amanda was of no help but never heard back from corporate. Loss of Seasonal Site and Corporate Decisions Yogi’s removed nine seasonal sites this year, including mine, with little warning. This decision affects long-term campers, some with over 20 years of history at the park. It appears motivated by corporate interests, favoring transient sites or cabins, which generate more revenue. The loss of a seasonal site after investing time, effort, and money into making it beautiful is deeply disheartening and reflects poor management priorities. Entertainment and Atmosphere Adult entertainment offerings have drastically declined. This year’s highlight was a 30-minute Saturday night hayride, with no live bands in the pavilion throughout the entire season. Under previous management, live music was a regular and enjoyable feature. The lack of engaging activities diminishes the overall campground experience. Myself and other campers offered suggestions to management regarding entertainment for adults but they didn't take any of our suggestions. Bear Interaction Despite the park’s theme, sightings of Yogi Bear are rare. On one occasion, a golf cart carrying excited children stopped to see Yogi Bear, but the character ignored them and drove past without interaction, which was very disappointing. Management and Staff Attitude Amanda, the general manager, presents as unapproachable and aloof. She did not introduce herself to seasonal campers at the beginning of the season, many of whom do not even know what she looks like and the camping season ends in just a couple of weeks. Most staff members also exhibit a snobbish attitude, often failing to acknowledge campers, which creates an unwelcoming environment. Cost and Recommendation The campground is overpriced relative to the quality of experience and level of service provided. Given the inconsistent rule enforcement, loss of seasonal sites, diminished entertainment, and poor management attitude, I cannot recommend Yogi’s Jellystone Park in Milton NH Those interested in a Yogis campground should consider other locations.
GuideTucked away in what feels like the middle of nowhere New Hampshire is it's largest state park. Bear Brook is full of trails, ponds and a fairly large campground. This extremely family-friendly campground comes equip with trails, play structures, camp store, beach, and even a small baseball diamond. The sites are fairly large and if you need some privacy, reserve site 12. There is a great trail that is around Beaver Pond, roughly 2-3 miles with plenty of opportunities for dogs to swim, yeah for dog friendly! This campground is beautiful, quiet in places and has everything you need for a great weekend away!
LegendMy first time experiencing a park in the New Hampshire Park system. We went down with a group. Pawtuckaway State Park offers a variety of landscapes, with something to do and see for everyone. The park includes a large family beach on the lake. There are many opportunities for hiking, with trails leading to many special points of interest, including a mountaintop fire tower; an extensive marsh where beavers, deer, and great blue herons may be seen.
The park lines the shore of beautiful Pawtuckaway Lake. The 192 sites are wooded and many provide views of the lake. Each campsite has an open fire ring, picnic table, flat areas for a tent, and a parking space. The bathhouses are equipped with running water, flush toilets, and 24 hour showers. There are no hook-ups at any of the campsites. The park also has a camp store where canoe and kayaks are available, as well as a plublic canoe and kayak launch. Five cabins are available; each sleeps six people, has electricity, and includes a fire ring and picnic table. Pets are not allowed in the campground or beach area of the park.
TravelerLarge campsites, clean amenities, nice dog park, great store with everything you need and located near like Winni.
TravelerPillsbury is called a 'primitive' campground which means no showers or electric hookups.
Most of the campsites are accessable by car with space to park a car or two at the campsite. Many campsites are on the lake. None are very far from the lake.
There are also a few 'remote' campsites that are not accessable by car. They are accessable by a sort walk or boat.
There is at least one handicap accessible site, which I have used, near the toilet facilities. It provides a good sized very level area to set up a tent and park your car. There may be other handicap sites. I have only used this one and never checked for others.
Note: Not all New Hampshire State Parks are dog friendly. If you have a dog check which parks are as part of your trip planning.
This web page says this about Pillsbury.
Pillsbury State Park is one of the more primitive and lesser known gems of the New Hampshire State Park system. Heavily wooded and sprinkled with several ponds and wetlands, its diversity of habitats makes it home to a great variety of wildlife, including moose and loons. Canoe and kayak rentals are available. Crossed by a network of hiking and mountain bike trails, the park is an important link in the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway, a 51-mile hiking trail that connects Mount Monadnock with Mount Sunapee to the north.

ScoutTully Lake Campground is located in Royalston, MA, which is a northern part of Central Massachusetts, near the New Hampshire border. It is a State managed campground, and reservations must be made through Massachusetts Trustees of Reservations. There are some prime camp sites with direct access to the lake, but suggest you be prepared to call early in the morning of the first day State Campground reservations can be made, if you want one of these!
This is a "Carry In" campground. You park at the entrance, register with Ranger. Large wooden wheelbarrows are provided to bring your gear to your camp site. (This means no noise or disturbances from cars entering your camp sites.) There are individual sites, and 2 group sites, if you are camping with a group. Canoes are available to rent to explore Tully Lake. Most parts of the lake are suitable for swimming, and some camp sites offer direct entry into the lake for swimming, canoeing, or kayaking. If you'd like to hike with children, there is an easy hike close to the entrance, along Doane's Falls, a series of 5 waterfalls along an ascending path through a wooded area. The views are beautiful, and it's not unusual to spot professional nature photographers at various points along the waterfalls. Bring your cameras or smart phones to capture some of these breathtaking views! And of course there are longer, more challenging trails for more experienced hikers. There are family oriented programs offered, and dogs are allowed, on leash only. Cell service is spotty to non-existent for some providers within the campground. But a short walk or drive away from the campground you can get connected again.
The bathrooms are located near the entrance to the Park, and include flush toilets as well as coin operated, hot showers, open 24/7. There are sinks beside the building, where campers are asked to wash their dishes, rather than at the camp site. A fire ring and picnic table are provided at each camp site. If you've forgotten any gear or need groceries, there's a Walmart just a 15 minute drive away, open until 12 midnight.
The staff are quite friendly, helpful and informative. If you enjoy "old fashioned" family tent camping, without the noise and presence of cars and RV's near your camp site, (or cell phones!) this is the place for you. Enjoy!
Warner area camping sites range in elevation from 600 to 1,200 feet above sea level, making them cooler than coastal New Hampshire during summer months. Most campgrounds near Warner remain open from May through mid-October, with the highest concentration of pet-friendly sites located in the southwestern section of the region. Temperature variations between day and night can reach 30 degrees during early and late season camping.
Kayaking on French Pond: Spacious Skies French Pond offers water activities on their substantial water feature. According to camper Ann B., "I had a view of the beautiful pond, which is really a lake, and wished I had more time to rent a kayak." The pond provides approximately 25 acres of paddling space.
Mountain biking from sites: Bear Brook State Park Campground provides direct trail access for cyclists. Camper Eammon C. notes, "We camped here to check out the mountain bike trails in the park and we're not disappointed on either count. The biking trails were a blast." The park contains over 40 miles of trails with varying difficulty levels.
Baseball and field sports: Some campgrounds include open recreation areas for group activities. At Pillsbury State Park Campground, site 38 backs "onto an open field with a backstop for baseball/softball," allowing families to enjoy sports while maintaining proximity to their campsite.
Fishing in stocked ponds: Many Warner area campgrounds maintain fishing ponds accessible to campers. At Oxbow Campground, Kelly W. reported they found "the fishing pond was perfect" with multiple species available for catch and release fishing throughout the camping season.
Remote sites for privacy: Several campgrounds offer secluded options for those seeking quiet. At Pillsbury State Park, Richard M. described site 1A as having "a 200ft (60yd) hike in on a rustic trail. At the end of the trail you are greeted with a nice private site, and an equally spectacular view of the Vickery Pond."
Helpful staff during setup: First-time RVers appreciate assistance from experienced staff. At Spacious Skies French Pond, Deborah L. shared: "Dave's helped me back in. Unhitch which was a disaster as my battery died. He went and retrieved his motorcycle battery and we finally unhitched the vehicles. He showed me how to set up and generally helped me get things going."
Clean bathroom facilities: Campground hygiene remains important to visitors. At Cold Springs Camp Resort, reviewers consistently mention facility quality. Sara D. noted "Beautiful, extremely clean bathrooms, reasonably priced little cafe, big camp store, very friendly staff, 4 outdoor pools & pretty big campground that has a gated entry/exit."
Family-oriented activities: Scheduled events keep children engaged. Cold Springs Camp Resort organizes "bingo, hayrides, large pools, an adult only pool, hot tubs, a pond, etc." according to Brandon C., who has camped there throughout his life.
Site accessibility varies: Campground layouts can present challenges for larger vehicles. At Autumn Hills Campground, Taylor H. found that "Sites are very small, and extremely close together. My 28 foot travel trailer barely fit into the site, and our friends in the tent sites were basically on top of each other."
Seasonal variations: Some Warner area campgrounds operate with limited amenities during shoulder seasons. At Greenfield State Park, Emma N. noted "The restrooms were still locked for the winter, so there were a few port-a-potties right outside."
Proximity to neighbors: Site spacing affects camping experience. At Keyser Pond Campground, Erika H. reported: "Definitely aimed towards more of the RV/camper fields. It seems like the majority of the sites are seasonals. The tent sites are wicked small, packed together and so close to the highway you don't get an ounce of quiet."
Water quality considerations: Not all water features maintain consistent conditions. Jessica N. at Pillsbury State Park Campground appreciated that "Kayaking on May Pond and discovering little islands and coves was a highlight," but other campers noted potential water quality concerns at certain times of year.
Playground proximity: Some sites offer convenient access to play areas. At Bear Brook State Park Campground, Jean C. advises: "I'd avoid site 93 because it is so close to the playground and the fire ring placement makes it seem like families enjoying the playground will be tempted to walk through your site. If you want to be close to the play area, site 90 or the ones on the loop behind it are better options."
Multiple swimming options: Families can choose between different water features. At Sandy Beach Campground, nicole noted "Playground is on the beach. They don't allow sparklers so that was a bummer on the 4th, but still got to see fireworks. Showers are free."
Pet-friendly hiking trails: Most Warner area campgrounds permit dogs on trails with proper leashing. At Pillsbury State Park Campground, Gabby M. shared: "The park is very dog friendly for camping as well as hiking. The trails were very well marked and really conveniently close by to the campsites."
Rainy day considerations: Indoor facilities provide alternatives during inclement weather. Cold Springs Camp Resort maintains a recreation hall with games and activities when outdoor options aren't available.
Site length limitations: Confirm site dimensions before booking. According to Taylor H. at Autumn Hills Campground, "My 28 foot travel trailer barely fit into the site" despite being advertised as accommodating the vehicle.
Hookup reliability: Utilities may not match advertised capabilities. One camper at Spacious Skies French Pond found "We're on an extended trip and chose to stay here for the Memorial day weekend. The campground is advertised as having full hookups with Wi-fi and cable... Asked about Wi-fi, 'it's not all hooked up yet'. Told them our cable didn't work, 'it's not connected yet'."
Seasonal site advantages: Long-term options provide stability for regular visitors. At Autumn Hills Campground, many RVers establish seasonal sites with additional amenities not available to overnight campers.
Dump station availability: Not all pet-friendly campgrounds near Warner offer on-site dumping. Laura M. at Keyser Pond Campground reported "Cost for non-campers to use the dump is an astonishing $40, which can't be right, but that's what the sign said. I'd confirm that with the office though."
