Riverhurst Park Campground features riverfront campsites with pet-friendly tent, RV, and cabin accommodations within a spacious, well-maintained property. Dogs are permitted throughout the grounds with standard leash requirements, and multiple river access points allow pets to cool off during summer months. The campground maintains large shade trees and open grassy areas ideal for exercising dogs, while designated pet waste stations help maintain the notably clean grounds. Firefly Acres also welcomes pets at their three tent and cabin sites, offering a more secluded experience for campers with dogs. Both locations enforce quiet hours to minimize disruptive barking. Seasonal campgrounds like Allegheny River Campground remain open from April through October with full hookup sites accommodating pets, and the cleanest grounds repeatedly mentioned by visitors with dogs.
Dogs enjoy direct water access at Riverhurst, where pets regularly play in the Allegheny River while their owners fish or kayak nearby. Multiple hiking trails suitable for leashed dogs surround the Portville area, including paths within Allegany State Park where both the Quaker and Red House areas permit pets at their tent sites, RV loops, and cabins. Winter campers should note that several properties close seasonally, though Red House Area at Allegany State Park remains open year-round with pet-friendly accommodations. Pet owners should bring portable water bowls for trails and sufficient waste bags, as wildlife encounters are possible in the surrounding forests. The campgrounds typically require vaccination records for pets, and veterinary services can be found in nearby Olean, approximately 5 miles from Riverhurst Park Campground.

RangerI booked this site via Harvest Hosts. They only accommodate boondocking for self-contained rigs. With that in mind, it was a pleasant stay. Quiet, friendly host, big rig friendly, dog friendly, and a little tasting room. We also got to meet the livestock.
TravelerCanaseraga SF1 is a great spot for anyone looking to get away from crowded campgrounds and enjoy a more primitive camping experience. We loved the peaceful, wooded surroundings and the feeling of being tucked away in the forest. It was a great place to set up our 4Runner and rooftop tent, relax under the trees, and enjoy the outdoors. The fall scenery was beautiful, and the quiet atmosphere made it feel like a true escape. If you enjoy dispersed camping, exploring the woods, and getting away from the crowds, this is a spot worth checking out. As always, practice Leave No Trace and respect the land so places like this stay beautiful for everyone.
TravelerWe had difficulty finding our original site so stopped here. Decent road access from the pavement, wide open campsite with a picnic table and fire pit. Good views of the night sky.
TravelerWe wasted a couple of hours looking for the site. The directions sent us in circles. Finally just grabbed a random spot for the night.
ScoutChose this campground as a quick overnight before boondocking up into NY. Wish we’d planned for a longer stay. Very nice campground. It is huge, but we were passing through off season so we had it more or less to ourselves.
The bathhouse was very clean. Laundry facilities as well.
Will definitely try to stay here again!
LegendThis campground was a wonderful find! Scouting locations for our Campout event in 2027. Kim the office manager was very accommodating and gave us a tour of the entire property which is vast! Whether you’re planning an event or just looking for a great place to simply camp, this is an excellent choice. Only 21 rv sites and several tent, cabins and 5 or 6 rustic sites with plans for pull-thru expansion for next year. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Peaceful and quiet
TravelerGreat location, quiet, not busy, very relaxing.
TravelerGreat central location for exploring the area. Includes some of the darkest skies around for stargazing which was a plus for me. Staff and owners were very great! Highly recommend for a short or a long stay.
GuideA bit buggy but nice otherwise. You have some evergreens, beech trees and some birch trees.
