    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Croft State Park Campground's vast network of trails accommodates pets for hiking and outdoor exploration. Sites have both water and electric hookups, with gravel surfaces that are primarily designed for RVs but also suitable for tent camping. Campers regularly bring their dogs to enjoy the park's natural areas, though pets must be leashed at all times. Primitive camping areas provide more seclusion while still being pet-friendly. The campground features clean bathhouses, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site, with many overlooking Lake Craig through the trees. The yellow jacket population can be problematic during certain seasons for both pets and owners. Both camping loops welcome pets, with Loop A offering more spacious sites than Loop B.

    Pine Ridge Campground and Spacious Skies Peach Haven both accommodate pets at their cabin sites, providing options beyond traditional tent or RV camping with animals. Trails throughout the region offer excellent opportunities for dog walking, with Croft's creek access points giving pets places to cool off during summer months. Most campgrounds in the area require pets to remain on leashes no longer than six feet. Campers with dogs appreciate the fishing opportunities at Croft's lake, where a concrete walkway along the shore provides easy pet access. The nearby equestrian facilities attract visitors with horses, though these areas remain separate from the main camping zones. Many campgrounds offer year-round availability, making them suitable for pet owners seeking outdoor accommodations regardless of season. The primitive camping option at Croft provides a more rustic experience while still allowing pets to join their owners.

      Four Paws Kingdom Campground & Dog Retreat

      Awesome for dogs and people!

      We camped here back in August and had a blast! We brought our two dogs and they also had a great time. This site is very dog friendly (obviously), with many sites having their own fenced in yards. We opted for a site without a fence, which we regretted once we got there. The gravel at our site was painful for our dog’s feet and they had a hard time walking on it. The dog parks made up for this! There are multiple large dog parks located at the campground. The restrooms were awesome, but are single person use only. We felt like we were the only ones using them (that’s how well maintained they were). Campsites are close together but we didn’t mind. The staff was great, they helped us find our site and even helped us back our camper in. There was power and water hookup at each site. There is tons of stuff to do around the area too. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure are right around the corner and SO FUN.

      Ranger Review: Travelers Rest KOA

      Very pretty campground in the fall. Operators live onsite and were friendly. Full connections and no issues leveling. Easy in/out and close to Greenville, Paris Mountain, Travelers Rest, Swamp Rabbit Trail etc. Bathhouses were very clean, but the lights are on motion detectors which weren’t sensitive enough to pick you up in the shower. We both had a couple moments of total darkness to contend with. A camp cat hung around our site at times and loved the heat coming out of our furnace. We don’t have pets so didn’t mind. Cell coverage was great (att & Verizon), so we had no issues working our 9-5s. Love the bubbling creek next to our site, which was so pretty from our back window. We’d definitely stay again.

      Amazing Campground for Pups and Adults

      We visited this park a few weeks ago and wished we could have stayed longer! It's a well-kept, clean park within approximately half an hour from Lake Lure (where Dirty Dancing was filmed). It is an adult only campground that is dog-centric... For us the best of both worlds! Includes several dog parks for large and small breads, and a pond in which the pups can swim and splash around. We've never been to a park like this one and highly recommend it if you can get in. We'll be back for sure!

      Awesome Visit & Stay

      We love this campground and can not wait to go back. It is in a great location and has a great staff. The cleanest campground we’ve stayed at: laundry room, bathhouse, etc. Awesome play ground for all ages of children, two dog parks, ponds, level sites, etc. We stayed in March so the pool was not open but looking forward to visiting again soon.

      Glamping with your pups

      This place was a 13 hour drive and so worth it. All of the cabins and trailers available to rent are so reasonably priced and have AC and fully fucntioning appliances. Every cabin or RV rental has its own private gated yard with your own firepit. Several dog parks and a private pond for the pups means days of fun for an active, social dog. Everyone is so kind, the women who run this place are so sweet and they were incredibly accomodating. The camp store has tons of treats and necessities for dogs and people, and a dog washing station and laundry are available communally. We spent our days hiking the nearby Chimney Rock and hanging around Lake Lure (FYI Dirty Dancing was filmed here whoa). We also checked out the Equestrian center which was an awesome recommendation of the staff and also dog friendly. Definitely recommended for people who like day hikes and adventures and coming back to a cozy camp cabin.

      GSP RV PARK

      Nice park, nice people

      This is a well-maintained park with very friendly staff and guests. Spacious dog park, fresh gravel in the spots, fire pit area with string lights. We had a change of plans the morning of checkout, and they let us check out a little late since the park wasn’t fully booked, which was so helpful and kind of them. The park is centrally located near downtown Greer (very cute with lots of shops and restaurants) and a short drive from Greenville and Travelers Rest. We will definitely be back while passing through this area next time!

      Great stopover place

      We were here one night. CG is nice, they have some seasonal sites and a lot of other sites. There are some new sites along the pond on the lower level. They also had buddy sites, perfect for a 2+ campers to gather as a group. Nice dog park, nice playground.

      We would stay here again.

      Very cute place in Kinard, SC

      Office was very friendly. They take you to your site which we always so appreciate. Hookups are modern, nice dog park, propane tank for easy fill ups. Fresh donuts anytime, pizza and chicken wings (bone in and bone out) til 6. Very clean and well maintained. Site was perfect for our 43’ Motorhome and dolly. Would definitely stay again.

    Guide to Pauline

    Croft State Park Campground provides year-round accommodations for pets with designated camping loops and walking trails. The 7,000-acre park welcomes dogs at all campsites throughout its main camping areas, with no breed restrictions observed. Campsites feature water and electric hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables for comfortable stays with pets. The park maintains clean, well-maintained bathhouses and sanitary dump facilities for RV campers. Some campers note the yellow jackets can be problematic during certain seasons, so proper food storage is essential when camping with pets.

    Several trails throughout Croft State Park accommodate dog walking, with both hiking and mountain biking paths available for exploring with leashed pets. The park sits alongside Lake Craig where dogs can access water areas, though swimming is not permitted in the lake itself. A creek accessible via trail from the upper campground offers a swimming spot during warmer months. The park's expansive equestrian facilities mean campers with dogs should be aware of horses on shared trails. Pets must be leashed when outside camping units, and waste disposal is expected. Stone campsite surfaces may not be ideal for tent camping with pets, as several reviewers mentioned discomfort on the gravel sites. Spacious sites and relative quiet make this location suitable for campers seeking peaceful outings with their pets.
