Kentuck Campground in Ohiopyle State Park accommodates campers with pets across its tent sites, RV spots, and cabins. The Blue Canoe RV Resort (formerly Uniontown KOA) provides riverside camping with multiple pet-friendly accommodation options including full hookup RV sites and cabins. Staff at The Blue Canoe make multiple rounds throughout the day, picking up trash and delivering purchased firewood directly to campsites. Pet owners should note that most campgrounds in the area require dogs to be leashed at all times, with typical restrictions limiting pets to 2-3 per site. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Mill Run welcomes pets in designated areas but maintains separate pet-free zones for guests with allergies.
The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) trail runs directly through The Blue Canoe RV Resort, providing an excellent walking route for dog owners staying at the campground. Nearby Ohiopyle State Park offers extensive hiking trails where leashed dogs can join their owners for day hikes with access to the Youghiogheny River. Several campgrounds in the region have experienced seasonal flooding along riverfront areas, creating muddy conditions that can be challenging when walking dogs after rainfall. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours beginning at 10pm, which includes policies regarding excessive barking. Local veterinary services are available in Connellsville, approximately 5 miles from most area campgrounds. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended to avoid hot weather and protect paw pads from hot surfaces.

GuideThis campground checks all our boxes. Beautiful scenery, quiet location, spacious campsites, full RV hookups, well-placed fire rings, dog park, nice large bathhouses, polite staff, and Wi-Fi that works.
This is located about an hour away from my home, so we plan on making this our go-to for quick camping getaways throughout the year.
Highly recommended. Definitely worth checking out.
GuidePreface: if your main objective is activities for children, you have come to the right place. This place is loud and full of kids.
We booked a site but chose not to pay to select which one. All the pictures looked great! We ended up on a grassy hill in the back. The spot was so unlevel there were 19 inches between my bottom step and the ground. This site was the same price as level ones closer to activities.
Also bathrooms were outdated. They had older residential toilets that plugged constantly. The day we left 2 of the 3 in our nearest bathroom were out of order.
Aside from all the above, the Dog Park is awesome. It’s the size of a real, normal dog park. The ice cream on site is also a nice perk.
RangerThis may be the first campground I give a 10 out of 10! All the amenities your could want, it's clean, sites are leveled, it's maintained beautifully, there are cows in the distance, fully stocked store, friendly staff. Laundry, bathrooms, fairly spacious sites, a pool, dog park. Very, very nice.
GuideNew Germany State Park is situated in Garrett County Maryland. The park has a small lake, a few trails, and two camping loops. The Hemlock loop- the only loop that allows pets, is smaller and is mostly made for tent camping, though one site has electricity, but only big enough for a teardrop camper. There is a bathroom with a hot shower. The problems with the Hemlock loop is the proximity to the other campers. Our neighbors were loud, their kids were louder and their dog was ear- splitting loud. The tent pads are varied in size with sites 52, 53 and 57 being just big enough for a large tent and not much else. Every site has a large picnic table ( that is impressively hard to move) and a fire ring. Some sites are not very level, not not as much that your rolling out of bed in your sleep. There is water, but just at the bathroom area. This makes sense since the loop itself is very small. Deer are dense in these parts, and bears frequent the area. Summer temps usually do not get as nice 85max most of the summer. There is also cross country skiing in the winter. Despite the smaller sites, the Hemlock loop is frequently full, as is the non pet loop, which can accommodate larger tents and RV’s., but no pets.
TravelerI was the only tenter at the time of my stay; had the whole place to myself. The sites are spread far apart and wooded. Table and fire rings are at each site. They have a brand new bath house which was spotless and a well kept dog park for the furs. If desired, there is a group campsite and the use of a pavilion too. The camp store if beautiful and has everything in it should you forget something. I’ll definitely be back.
ScoutVery conveniently located off the interstate. Follow the signs to the campground NOT the GPS in order to avoid some narrow and sharp turn roads. Staff were super friendly! Front desk staff were knowledgeable and and helpful. We had some issues with our power, and Larry was at our site within minutes to fix it. Big open dog park! There are only a few shaded spots. Spot width was a little narrow where we stayed (on the hill), but perfect for a quick overnight stay. Bathrooms were fairly clean, laundry was nice. The pool looked very well maintained.
GuideStayed 3 nights because I wanted to be centrally located to the he Flight 93 Memorial and Falling Water (about 30 miles to each). The non pet section is heavily wooded and very shady. The pet section is more of a loop set up with some trees. The no pet section had no, zero, zilch cell service so my stay was super quiet. Site 173 was easy to back into and had a large picnic area with a fire ring next to the brook. There is a lake with a small beach and a boat launch and numerous hiking trails. The park will s very nice pretty and during the week fairly empty. I would recommend

RangerThere are two main loops in this campground. One that is pet friendly and more of a pitch-your-tent-in-the-yard thing and another that is pet-free and wooded. We didn't realize and stayed in the first one. Dogs were barking at all hours and there's no privacy. We drove through the other one and it looks so much nicer. Campsites more spread out with trees in between and way quieter. Will definitely stay there if we return.
Camping opportunities near Dunbar, Pennsylvania extend throughout the Laurel Highlands region with elevations ranging from 1,200 to 2,800 feet. The area receives approximately 45 inches of precipitation annually, creating lush forest conditions but occasionally muddy camping conditions after rainfall. Several campgrounds in this area maintain pet-friendly policies with specific designated loops or sites for campers traveling with dogs.
Disc golf at Benner's Meadow Run: Recently added disc golf course provides entertainment within the campground. "Lots of activities for the kids. Clean and well kept," notes Kaylee L. about Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground.
Fishing in stocked ponds: Multiple campgrounds maintain fishing areas where licenses aren't required. At Scarlett Knob Campground, "There's a fishing pond and a huge rec field. Some camp sites have more privacy than others," according to Elena J.
Rock climbing opportunities: For experienced climbers, the region offers natural formations. "I have been going her for years and I always love to climb this area. The pitches arent too high (50ft) but great just to get out there an enjoy life!" writes Nick P. about outdoor activities at Coopers Rock State Forest.
Private, wooded sites: Many campgrounds offer secluded options away from crowds. At Scarlett Knob Campground, Bradley B. reports, "The sites are pretty spread out and full of trees. So for tent camping it is fantastic. Each site feels very private and the atmosphere is great."
Stargazing platforms: Some campgrounds have designated areas for night sky viewing. "Got a nice secluded spot to camp in the wooded area that had amazing mountain views and the star gazing platform," notes Tom C. about Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground.
River access: Campsites along waterways provide recreation and scenic value. At The Blue Canoe RV Resort, Rob S. explains, "Located on the Youghiogheny River. Many full hookups, great play ground for the kids. New pool, but not open when we stayed."
Shower facilities vary widely: Bathroom quality differs significantly between campgrounds. At Scarlett Knob, Bradley B. notes, "Facilities are not kept up so they are dirty and need some love. There is one spot with a flushable toilet and it's a bit of a walk. The pit toilets are actually pretty ok."
Seasonal flooding concerns: Water levels fluctuate throughout the year at riverside camping areas. Lauren R. mentions about Tub Run Rec Area, "If the water levels had been higher this year, we would have enjoyed this more given the beach/swimming area and dock."
Site leveling challenges: Several campgrounds have uneven terrain requiring preparation. "The sites are REALLY not level because the RV sites are on a major slope, especially the pull-through sites," explains Kathy L. about camping at Laurel Hill State Park.
Water park facilities: Some campgrounds offer extensive water recreation. "Mill run by far the best yogi bear/campground we have been to. Second time we have been & they have upgraded the water slides 4 huge slides plus big splash pad with little slide for smaller kids," reports Erik W. about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Mill Run.
Kid-friendly events: Scheduled activities keep children entertained. Rich E. shares that Jellystone Park offers "tractor rides, fire truck rides and a train ride alongside the free activities for the kids there is allways something fun to do."
Playground access: Several facilities maintain play areas for children. The Blue Canoe RV Resort staff "make multiple rounds, picks up your trash and delivers your purchased firewood. Personally takes you to you site and helps you back in/pull in," notes Rob S.
Road conditions warning: Access roads to some campgrounds present challenges. When visiting Outflow Camping, Laura notes, "the drive to get to this out-of-the-way campground was awful. It's really far from a main highway, but the roads to get to the campground are hilly, winding country roads with 55 mph speed limits."
Electric hookup configuration: Power posts may require additional equipment. At Laurel Hill State Park, Erik E. advises, "The electrical hookups are not played out well like an expensive RV park with the shared power post on the entrance side of the camper. You may want to have an extension for your power cable."
Dump station locations: Not all pet-friendly camping near Dunbar offers full hookups. Mike G. found at Coopers Rock that "the RV lots were well maintained and all the asphalt seems to have been redone recently... the site we were in had electric hookup for 50a/30a/20a but no water at the site but there was water near the bathroom area."
