Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Stillhouse Hollow Lake
Holleman's Bend Camping Area provides free primitive tent camping along Cordell Hull Lake with pet-friendly policies throughout the peninsula. Pets must remain on leash at all sites, with multiple camping spots available beyond the main parking area. The waterfront location features basic sites with fire rings but no water, electricity, or toilets. Some campsites are located on a small patch of grass near a loading dock while others can be found further up the hill for more privacy and seclusion. Cell service is extremely limited or non-existent throughout the area, creating an opportunity for complete disconnection from technology. Rangers occasionally check vehicle plates to enforce the 14-day maximum stay rule.
Salt Lick Creek Campground accommodates both pets and campers with spacious, well-separated sites featuring full hookups in many locations. The campground offers waterfront and wooded sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and trash service. Dogs must remain leashed when outside vehicles or camping units. The swimming beach provides water access for pets to cool off during summer months, though pets should be kept from disturbing wildlife. Visitors should bring all needed supplies as the nearest gas station with ice and firewood is 30-45 minutes away. The remote location loses all cell phone coverage for most carriers, creating an ideal environment for unplugging while enjoying nature with pets. The campground becomes quite busy during peak season despite its secluded mountain setting.
