2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Jellystone Park at Kozy Rest's pet-friendly camping accommodations include cabins, yurts, and RV sites where dogs can accompany their owners throughout most of the 312-site property. Peaceful Valley Campground in West Sunbury welcomes pets with designated exercise areas and clean facilities for both tent and RV campers. The fenced area spans two acres where dogs can run off-leash during daylight hours. Most campgrounds in the region maintain standard leash requirements (typically 6 feet maximum) when pets are outside their owners' camping units. Bear Run Campground and Rose Point Park Cabins & Camping both offer pet-friendly cabin options for campers who prefer solid shelter while traveling with their animals. Campground bathrooms and shower facilities remain exceptionally clean despite the presence of pets throughout these properties.
Dogs have access to multiple hiking trails surrounding Moraine State Park, where leashed pets can join their owners on the North Country Trail system that runs through the camping areas. Several nearby campgrounds provide waste disposal stations specifically for pet waste, with Breakneck Campground featuring dedicated pet washing facilities during warmer months. Most properties enforce quiet hours that apply to barking dogs, particularly between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. Campers report excellent veterinary options within 15 minutes of most West Sunbury area campgrounds, including emergency services in Butler. Pet owners should note that summer temperatures can exceed 85°F, requiring extra water and shade provisions for dogs staying at primitive sites without electrical hookups for fans or air conditioning.

ScoutThis is our second time staying here. Each time in October. We love it. Unlike most RV resorts this place is small and wooded. Has free Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms and an awesome community hub room for work from home or playing games. The weekends are busy but during the week it’s so quiet and peaceful. Close to so many attractions and parks that are part of the PA Wilds. Would definitely recommend.
Scoutbeautiful site and campground ground. peaceful. quite. and the showers were excellent!
RangerUnique place! Boondocking only. Really suited for smaller setups. My 30ft TT fit fine but was limited. Host was great. Partially shaded spot in the woods. Great trails. Ticks galore. Sadly had a very wet trip but was otherwise nice.
GuideThis place has so much to offer so I’m just going to list them : -Beautiful lakeside camping -clean, spacious and level spots -Boat launch -sandy beach -friendly camp host and park employees -basketball court, sand volleyball court, kids playground and nature center
ScoutThe park is beautiful, unlevel shade sites; is challenging to get the trailer level. unfortunately, the bathhouses are neglected, dark and full of mildew inside the showers. The park really needs to upgrade the bathhouses. The park itself is very nice and offers a lot of opportunities for outdoor exploration and hiking.
GuideThis is more a campground for RVs then tents or even roof top tents. Place is clean and the sites 90% of them are in the open. Very little shade. Travis runs the place and very nice and accommodating. Fire wood is 20 dollars for a massive amount.
ScoutSpent three nights there in August Mid-week. Was pretty quiet but was clean and nicely taken care of. No mosquitos or bugs at night. Nice walking paths. Pool, hot tub, outdoor showers all very nice.
TravelerStayed here right after Labor Day - very few other campers. Campsites were large and gave privacy - easy to park. Plenty of activities - hiking, frisbee golf, swimming, horseshoes, basketball, maze and a playground. Clean sites - they do a great job of keeping up on the property. AT&T cell phone service was weak - one bar most of the time. Close to bike trails along Oil Creek. A lot of great history to explore in both Titusville and Oil City. Shopping for food just 10 minutes down the road. Great customer service on arrival - gave us options for sites and let us explore before choosing even after we arrived about 15 minutes until the office was supposed to close.
ScoutWe love camping here. There are a few things to do, swim in the pool, mine for gem stones, they have an arcade and a playground. It’s in a wooded area near lake Arthur with a boat ramp down the Road.
