Chenango Valley State Park Campground offers pet-friendly camping options with electric, water, and sewer hookups available for both tent and RV campers. Pet owners find the campground's spacious sites suitable for dogs, with fire rings and picnic tables at each location. Greenwood County Park also welcomes pets and provides alcohol-free camping with well-maintained facilities. The parks implement standard leash requirements to ensure safety for all visitors. Dogs allowed in the campgrounds must be kept under control at all times. The yard at Round Top Retreat is surrounded by wild berry bushes where dogs can run freely in a secluded environment. Most campgrounds in the Harford area require proof of current vaccinations for pets and impose a maximum of two pets per campsite.
The hiking trails throughout Chenango Valley State Park provide excellent opportunities for exercising pets, with miles of scenic paths to explore with leashed dogs. Buttermilk Falls State Park features dog-friendly hiking routes along gorges and waterfalls, though pets are prohibited from entering swimming areas. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended to prevent overheating pets on trails. The area experiences typical New York weather patterns that can shift quickly, so campers should pack appropriate gear for their dogs including extra towels and portable water bowls. Pet owners should be aware of wildlife in the camping areas and keep dogs secure, especially at night. Greenwood Park's trails offer beautiful wildflower viewing opportunities while walking dogs during warmer months.

"This is a campground set in a nice forest location, but close by to Treman State Park and Ithaca, so a good base for day trips."
TravelerWonderful location and marvelous hosts. We were welcomed with chocolate chip cookies as we checked in. Bathrooms were beautiful and clean. Two wineries we could walk to and dozens more nearby. Our site was spacious and the dog park gave our pups plenty of time off leash. We definitely plan on returning.
RangerThe park itself is pretty small but it’s in a really cute area with a lot of outdoor recreational activities. Lovely but simple views all around and rolling green hills in the distance. Campground is well-kept and relatively modern but not particularly memorable. Nice little stopover on a road trip. Lots of day use activity. Dog park is kind of annoying with all the barking and owners shouting futile commands, try to camp away from it. Ditto for train noise, stay by the river. It does what it does well, so five stars!
GuidePinecreek is a beautiful park in a great area 10 minutes from downtown Ithica New York and Lake Cayuga. The area has everything you could possibly want or need. Fabulous State Parks with spectacular waterfalls, a farmers market right on the lake front, Cornell University and so much more. That being said it may be the reason the campground doesn't offer any planned activities. They do have a swimming pool and what appears to be a large clubhouse/meeting area that is not or was not used while we were there, nor were any activities publicized. They do have a small arcade but it did not stay open past 8 pm and did not appear to be air-conditioned.
Our campsite was a full hookup with a large grassy area for setting up our outside chairs and picnic table. Although we enjoyed our stay we felt it was a bit overpriced for not having much to offer. They also have a very long list of rules & while they do allow pets there is a list of breed restrictions you need to be aware of before booking a reservation. They also charge for electricity on any stays one week or longer which we had not encountered previously at campgrounds where we have stayed.
Overall we enjoyed our stay but not sure we would stay again.
RangerWatkins Glen boasts one of New York’s most beautiful state parks! I last camped here in 2012 and absolutely loved hiking along the gorges. Also- the camping was next to perfect. Sites are decently sized and well secluded from one another.
in addition, the park is so well situated within the Finger Lakes and all the various wine trails! Made for a perfect girls weekend! Definitely recommend!

GuideIt is a very nice open area to camp in. It is a first come first serve campground. The dog park is a great addition to the park. There is always something going on. Also allows for an easy place right off Route I-86 to rest while driving across MY. Some of the best river access there is to paddle through a great small town.
GuideI absolutely love coming to Watkins Glen Campground, especially when I went to get away from the busy city. This park has gorgeous waterfalls, and great paths to walk and hike on. It's located in Upstate New York, so it's close enough to the city but you feel like you are far away from the city. The campsites are great, clean and well kept. This park does get pretty busy though, because it is open to campers and people who just want to visit for the day to walk the trails. I love that they have trails that lead very close to the waterfalls..lots of rim trails that literally overlook the waterfalls and gorges. In the campground they do offer a pool, which again, does get busy because it's open to everyone regardless if you are camping or not. There also is tours you can take in the summer that will take you along the waterfalls and gorge, they have a playground for kids and an area with picnic tables. I went mid July and it was extremely busy, not sure when a good time to go during the summer when it's not as busy. That was the only downside I would say, is how crowded it was. There is also Seneca Lake nearby that many people go to fish in, however I didn't go on this trip but plan to next time. There are restrooms on site, however I didn't think they were that clean. Toilet paper and seat covers were out in most stalls, so I would advise to bring your own when you go. There is also some gift shops and food stands set up...one food stand has some pretty good hot dogs! The hikes to the gorge and waterfalls is pretty well maintained, however there are quite a bit of stairs. There were some people with kids in strollers that had to turn around because the stairs made it difficult. Not handicap friendly. I would advise to wear a good pair of walking shoes, and not sandals because it is slippery in some spots and again, a lot of stairs! I would highly recommend coming here, even if you don't decide to stay the night!
GuideNew York State pretty much has abandoned this park. Trees fallen down across the sites. Might be ok for a tent but that’s all.
LegendJake here from the Dyrt! Harpy hollow not only has a great location in northern New York but is veteran owned and operated and ready to host more campers. Check them out and leave a review on the Dyrt when you stay!
Greenwood County Park accommodates dogs throughout the campground, with fifty camping spots featuring fire rings and nearby trails. Dogs can freely roam the park when properly supervised, though pet owners should maintain control particularly during busier summer periods when the swimming area and picnic facilities attract crowds. The park's spacious layout provides ample opportunity for dogs to explore, with many campers noting the family-friendly environment is equally welcoming to pets. Campsites are relatively close together but provide enough space for comfortable camping with animals.
The hiking trails at Greenwood offer excellent pet exercise opportunities in all seasons, with fall colors creating a spectacular backdrop for dog walks. Buttermilk Falls State Park and Robert H. Treman State Park campgrounds, both within driving distance, allow pets on trails but require leashes. Tent sites, RV spaces, and cabins throughout the region accommodate pets with varied amenities. Yellow Lantern Kampground provides a quieter, more private setting for campers with dogs, while Country Hills Campground features a small lake where dogs can cool off during warmer months. Most campgrounds in the area implement standard leash policies on trails and in camping areas, with off-leash activities permitted only in designated zones.
