Top 10+ Dog-Friendly Campgrounds near Cove, UT

No concrete pads, just gravel with grass and picnic tables between. The landscaping looks a little overgrown. The fencing around the small dog park isn’t secure.

Office and laundry facilities are closed on Sundays. Bathrooms are small but clean with one toilet stall and two shower stalls each.

Full hookups and pull through spaces. Wi-Fi is available but we didn’t test it.

It’s a very quiet place. Fillmore has a Best Western with a golf course, a few gas stations and a Carls Jr.

Little Cottonwood Canyon is fun. Very beautiful. You can hike, fish in the river.When we were there the other night we saw a Moose which was way fun. Lots of deer as well. Pets are not allowed.

This location has clean bathrooms and showers centrally located on the grounds. So it doesn’t matter if you’re in a tent or RV, it’s a close distance for everyone. They are also pet friendly with trash cans and doggie bags placed around the site. Our tent area included water/electric, a picnic table, and fire pit/grill. We really enjoyed our little grass area and the quiet surroundings!

Camped here 1 night. The 4.5 mile road off the highway is very good though dusty. Creek is lovely. Sites vary in their condition but flat tent or van spots are uncommon. ORV traffic and locals passing by about every hour. WeBoost 3 Verizon bars. My retriever who is used to bears refused to go out in the dark, probably Mt Lions about so watch small pets closely.

We happened upon this campground and luckily there was one spot left - site 1. We caught a beautiful sunset against the red cliffs as we set up camp. Our tent was close to a little stream that was really pleasant to listen to as we fell asleep. The flush toilets were very clean and well maintained. And we had a camp cat show up! Never had a feral cat join us for a cook out before. We loved this site and would definitely recommend it.

Really love the vibe of this place. There is plenty of space for tent camping although they offer bus stays if you prefer. Reservations are required in advance. There are bathrooms with showers and toilets all running water.

Only complaints. There are some cats that meow, loudly. All night and the garbage man comes at 5 am Wednesday morning and it's quite noisy. All in all a good stay.

General: A mix of FHU (most pull-thru but a few back-in), two tent areas, and three cabins. 

Site Quality: All sites are level and gravel. Some sites have a brick patio that the picnic table sits on. As would be expected in an RV park, there is minimal separation between sites, however, when we were there on a weeknight in November, it was only about 25% full so it was not a problem. 

Bath/Shower House: As we’ve come to expect in KOAs, the bathrooms and showers were very clean with soap and paper towels. 

Activities/Amenities: The pool was closed for the season when we were there. There is a nice play structure, a basketball court, and a few other outdoor games. Amenities include a pool table, laundry facility ($2 each for wash and dry), fish cleaning station, pet area, and a small store open during business hours (9-5). The dishwashing sink appeared to be closed, perhaps for the season. There is free coffee in the morning. 

This was just an overnight for us as we continued to head home after three months on the road so we were not looking for activities or amenities but appreciated that it was quiet.

This campground is perfectly tucked away in the hills near Kanosh UT. About 15 mins down a back road from the freeway (I-15). It is small but large open areas for kids and/or dogs to run and play. It’s quiet and clean. There are two bathrooms within a short walk from every site. The creek runs near the sites and it’s the perfect sound to lull you to sleep. You can reserve a site ahead of time on the website or walk in and pay at the site as long as there is no reservations. Very simple. There is NO cell service so if you are coming from a long distance be sure to make sure there are availability’s before you drive into the site. If you’re ever taking that route through Utah and need a place to crash I would recommend this to anyone!

We are late fall

Campers and found staff to be friendly. We were one of three campers.  The public restrooms were exceptionally clean. We had a pull through site with electricity for $25. Lots of on leash dog walking available. We felt safe at this public campground for late night dog walking. We travel in a 22 foot TT. Dump station available. Water was still on in the park.

Be sure to read the map, the spots are adequately marked, but there is very little grass except what is in the tent sites. There are plenty of dog bag and garbage cans. Very quiet place out of the city.

Very clean lots of shade trees which are fabulous as it’s 88° today. Everybody gets an escort to their site with the golf cart, there is a school next-door with a great soccer field to run the kids. A few of the deluxe sites now have a private, permanent fenced yards for dogs, which includes waste bags and a little trash can! Nice addition! 

This is a great little park with beautiful views and lots to do in the area. There is a restaurant on site, small park for the kids, basketball court and dog walk area. The sites are very close no privacy. There are two styles ld cabins. They sell wood and propane by the tank they do not fill tanks.

Arrived too late to do hot springs so I’ll come back and check it out.

Bathrooms for women looked nice but men’s shower and bathrooms were a little rough. Could have been a bit cleaner.

There was a wash station that wasn’t working so I couldn’t wash dishes.

Not a lot of fires and a bit windy. Not too bad.

Full hookup for EV charge was great!

Dog loved the field area lots for him to sniff around.

Me and my friend stayed in loop A which is the very last sight in the campground. The views are insane!! Beware that this site is connected to a bunch of public trails so there will be people who will want to go through your site. Giant picnic tables and campfire set up. Was really nice for me my friend and my dog to stay for night would highly recommend! There is also a water pump on site.

Save your money and skip the cabins. Dated and dirty. The owner would not acknowledge the fact that the cabin was dirty and said her housekeeper doesn’t make mistakes. Did not offer to send someone over to clean it properly. Did not want to see pictures of the dirty cabin. Did not offer to compensate us in any way.

In addition, the laundry room near the cabins had dirty smelly washers full of dog hair and dryers with dead bugs in them.

Kents Lake was a nice surprise for us.  However, the lake water level was low and had green algae on it. The canoe did get in the water and it was a nice, calm lake. We kept the dogs away from the water. Fishing was okay, not excellent, but we got a few bites.  Weather was rainy various times through our 5 day stay and downpour is the best description. The road getting to campground was a rough dirt road, but they were grading and working on parts of it so there is hope for a smoother ride next time. The campground was quiet most of the time. We would visit here again.

Beautiful area. Surround by mountains and farm fields. Beautiful gravel lot with rv spots, tent spots and cute little cabins. Showers, laundry, bathrooms, and fenced in dog area. Gas station/gift shop right at the camp ground. Staff and owners were super friendly. Feels like your out in the middle of no where (which you kind of are lol), but about 10 minutes south down hwy 89 is Panguitch, and that town seemed to have a little bit of everything. Bryce Canyon National park was about 40 mins away. Zion National Park was a little over an hour. Ceader Breaks National Monument was around those same times to. And many other things to do around the area.
