Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Limestone, NY

471 Reviews

Allegany State Park offers several pet-friendly camping options near Limestone. Both Quaker Area and Red House Area allow pets in designated cabins and campsites, with bear-proof containers available for food storage. Campers should be aware that wildlife, including bears, are active in the area, making proper food storage essential when camping with pets. The camping areas feature clean shower facilities and bathrooms that remain warm during colder months, ideal for year-round camping with pets. Sites are spacious enough for pets to enjoy, though some loops may be more suitable than others depending on privacy needs and terrain.

The park provides extensive hiking opportunities for visitors with dogs, including well-marked trails with varying difficulty levels. Thunder Rocks, a popular hiking destination within the park, offers boulder climbing experiences and is accessible with leashed pets. Wildlife encounters are possible, so keeping dogs leashed is important for their safety. Red House Lake features a paved trail around its perimeter, perfect for walking dogs on more stable terrain during wet weather. Several campgrounds in the area, including Kinzua East KOA and Red Oak Campground, welcome pets and provide full hookups for RV campers. During summer months, the park offers kayak rentals, swimming beaches, and various outdoor activities that families with pets can enjoy, though some areas may have specific pet restrictions.

    Red Bridge Recreation Area - Allegheny National Forest

    Love this place!

    This is my favorite campground so far in PA.

    For the most part, there isn’t a bad site (although we didn’t see any of the walk up sites, and I recommend not booking a site immediately next to the bathrooms since the ones without showers are more like “outhouse” toilets and can stink). The sites are private, flat, surrounded by trees, and have plenty of space. The ground is quite rocky though, so bring plenty of heavy duty tent steaks.

    Highlights include: the reservoir (beautiful and clean! You can swim with your dog from the access points at the campground), quiet, friendly staff (a kind older gentleman helped us jump my car and refused to take any money as a thank you), updated/very clean showers, not buggy, reception is great (we have Verizon), plenty of room to social distance, and 2 trading posts about 1 mile away with milk, eggs, basic supplies, etc.

    Cons: the bathrooms without showers aren’t flush toilets, and there is no campground office so you must see the hosts for any issues.

    Things to do nearby (last 5 pictures): the Kinzua Skywalk Bridge free- an old train bridge that was partially destroyed by a tornado in the early 2000’s. The bridge is handicap/stroller accessible, pets are allowed. There is a small indoor museum & gift shop, and a hiking trail along the wreckage. If you hike, wear good sneakers, the path is rocky and VERY steep. The hiking path is not recommended for small children). Bathrooms on site.

    The Kinzua Dam free - beautiful. Handicap/stroller accessible, pets permitted. Bathrooms were closed due to social distancing.

    Rimmrock overlook free- just a small distance from the parking lot. NOT stroller/handicap accessible, and there are rock steps, however we saw numerous families with small children go through the path with no issues. Pets permitted. Bathrooms on site.

    Nearby towns of Kane and Ridgway looked cute, but we didn’t spend time there due to our efforts to social distance.

    Austin Campground

    Tucked Away Gem

    Found this location while going to Elk State Forest for the elk bugling. Was very happy to find this location. Had clean bathrooms with running water and showers. Campground was tucked away between two mountains and sat next to a creek. Staff was friendly. Plenty of camp sites. Have yearly campsites which is apparent since some of the campers have more permanent structures around or attached to them. Pets allowed. Not the best place for hammock camping but have a few sites with good trees. Out of the main path but nice place to stay.

    Shamrock Pines Campground

    Clean and friendly

    Called up on Friday afternoon of Labor Day weekend and they accommodated us for two nights.  John and his staff were friendly and welcoming.  Very clean campground with mostly seasonal sites.  Several overnight sites with electric and water.  These sites were mostly gravel and cut into a bank so that there is some separation.  Surrounded by trees but grounds are well kept.  Fully fenced dog park that was great for our pup.  A couple of ponds for kids to fish and what looks like a nice pool.  Quiet hours observed.  On Saturday night there was a band in an outdoor stage that was great.

    Close enough to Ellicottville to enjoy the shops, brewery and restaurants there.

    Only thing I would mention is the dump station is simply just a pipe off one of the driveways with a water hose.  Not a problem and it works, just not typical of dump stations.

    Buckaloons

    Roomy and wooded

    We come here at least once per summer. It is very family friendly, pet friendly and just beautiful. If you kayak, you can drop in up in Warren and come in right at the campground. Ice and wood available on site. Dollar general close by just in case.

    Houghton / Letchworth KOA

    Nice and quiet

    ntmnet. Overall, this is a nice place to go camping. We camp in a tent and our site was wonderful (PT1). We were pretty much alone. The facility was nice and kept up. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. My only complaint would be that the pet rules are not enforced. I would see five dogs from my site and only one was on a leash all the time. My dog. One dog was free to roam wherever it wanted. Owners would walk with him and let him go. He came to our site several times. We did our best to keep our dog quiet but it was difficult. The dog ended up taking "a dump" on our site. The owners had not intention of cleaning it up till I talked to them when they walked by. They sent a child who didn't clean it toroughly so I had to. Called the office but no answer. Never saw an employee making rounds checking things out. Not going back.

    Jellystone Park™ of Western New York

    Camping resort in the middle of nowhere

    There was a great WiFi connection, so it was difficult to get my boys to go explore! We have a 35 foot travel trailer and had zero difficulty backing into a W/E spot. Gravel pads, decent space between RVs. We did need our extra hose to reach our spigot but I think that was unusual. The dump station was easy to get to and clean when we left.

    Playgrounds, beach, mini-golf, dog park, bounce pillow, basketball, volleyball, movie nights, wagon rides twice a day with Jellystone characters, lots of daily activities, water park, kayaks, SUP’s, canoes, LIFEGUARDS!... ALL INCLUDED. My kids did mini-golf 4 times. Snack bar (with good wings and delivers!). Golf cart rentals. What was I most impressed with? Trash pickup. You put it in front of your site, somebody picked it up. Any time of day.

    There were three types of cabins I saw, but didn’t go inside. You could fish in the pond. The website says Laser Tag but we didn’t explore that far. The town is teeny tiny so no good grocery store around. The grounds were well kept. Niagara Falls were a little more than an hour away. Great day trip!

    We we will come back next year and bring our cousins!
