Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Elizabethville, PA

706 Reviews

Twin Grove RV Resort features two dog parks located next to each other, allowing pets to run and play off-leash while camping near Elizabethville. The campground accommodates various camping styles with tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and glamping options, all within a pet-friendly environment. Jonestown/Hershey KOA maintains a dedicated dog park and pet-friendly policies across their drive-in and walk-in sites. The campgrounds are well-maintained with clean facilities and level spots for RVs. Most pet-friendly campgrounds in the area require pets to be leashed when not in designated off-leash areas, and many provide waste stations throughout the grounds.

Riverfront Campground offers pet-friendly riverfront sites near the Appalachian Trail, though some reviews note the facilities need maintenance. Several state parks in the region, including Gifford Pinchot and Little Buffalo, provide pet-friendly camping loops separate from non-pet areas. The separate pet sections ensure both pet owners and those seeking quiet from barking dogs can enjoy their stay. Ferryboat Campsites welcomes pets on leash and offers primitive camping spots and water/electric sites with good shade for hammock camping. When hiking with dogs, owners should be aware of wildlife in the area and carry sufficient water, especially during summer months when temperatures can rise significantly.

    Buttonwood Campground

    Beautiful Campground

    Clean and well kept campground located 12 mile below Lewistown, Pa. As clean a campground as you will find. Staff is super friendly. Campground has two distinct levels with open spaces with few trees above and well shaded spots with large trees for shade located down along Juniata River. Great place for fishing, tubing or just getting wet. Campground has many activities for kids. On site is a pool, winery, dog park, office/supplies located in center of campground. WiFi is available to all. Nearly all full hook-ups with back-ins and pull-thrus available. Pets allowed. 42 mile South from State College and 48 mile North of Harrisburg on Rt 322. Highly recommend!

    Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground

    Wish I stayed there under different circumstances.

    The rangers were nice and the campground hosts were sweet. I liked the dish washing sinks outside of the shower houses. The site was nice with the tent pad backing up to the trees. I would rather sleep in a tent any night over a motel room but this time was different. Due to my father passing, me and my daughter stayed there 3 nights. I will be back another time to actually enjoy the lake and being between Lancaster and Gettysburg makes both places easy to access. Next time I will be getting a site away from the group area. It was nice that the pet area is separate from those of us who don't have pets or want quiet from dogs barking. Some of the groups can get rather loud especially when there are a bunch of teens. It was nice that the pet area is separate from those of us who don't have pets or want quiet from dogs barking.

    We loved it here. It accommodates a large family reunion with plenty of space. The campground was well populated but we didn’t feel cramped at all. Super dog friendly. Many little dog parks throughout. Great pool.

    Twin Grove RV Resort

    Beautiful Campground

    This is an amazing campground! There are 2 dog parks right next to each other, which is great for your furry friend to be able to run around and play off leash. And for the kids there is an arcade, a ferris wheel and some other rides. On Saturday nights they usually have a band playing on the stage which is really neat. There is also a ice cream place to get a nice cold treat. The RV spots are really nice and well kept.

    Splash Magic RV Resort

    Friendly and very helpful staff

    The area is beautiful and I would like to stay in the winter when many of the activities are available and it is warmer.  I am just learning about using a travel trailer and the staff was of great assistance.  They were easy to reach and were genuinely interested in my stay and plans.  They have a dog park which my dog loved.
