Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Leeds, UT

Leeds Canyon Dispersed camping areas allow pets throughout multiple designated sites including sites #1, #2, and #4 where campers report spacious clearings suitable for tents, vans, and smaller trailers. North Creek Dispersed Camping and Kolob Terrace Road Dispersed also accommodate pets with free camping in natural settings. The dispersed sites feature established fire rings when fire restrictions aren't in place, though several campers note periods when fires are prohibited. Sites are situated alongside Oak Grove Road with enough turns to slow traffic and reduce noise concerns. Most dispersed sites offer no amenities - no toilets, water, or trash service - requiring campers to pack out all pet waste and garbage. Leeds RV Park & Motel provides a contrast with full hookups, clean facilities, and dedicated grass areas for tent campers with strict rules prohibiting dogs on these grassy sections.

Several hiking trails accommodate dogs near the Leeds area campgrounds, particularly along the nearby creeks where pets can cool off. Many campers appreciate the wide spacing between dispersed sites, offering privacy for dogs that may bark at passersby. The road quality varies, with reports that only the first four dispersed sites accommodate travel trailers safely, while others are better suited for tents and smaller vehicles. Red sand and stunning red cliff views surround the camping areas, creating scenic dog walking opportunities. Some dispersed sites feature multiple established fire pits and proximity to Leeds Creek where dogs can splash in the water. Cell service varies by location - dispersed sites typically offer 1-2 bars of coverage with AT&T and Verizon, while the developed RV parks provide more reliable connectivity for checking weather and trail conditions.

    St. George RV Park & Campground

    St. George RV Park & Campground, UT

    Located right off the highway, this a great place to stay for one night or for longer periods. There seemed to be several full-timers living in the campground. You can hear the highway when you sleep, so try to request a site furthest from the road. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was welcoming and accommodating. There was not a dog park or any grassy areas that allowed pets which was a challenge.

    Crazy Horse RV Resort

    The Perfect 10-Day Stay at Crazy Horse RV Resort!

    I recently stayed at Crazy Horse RV Resort in Kanab, UT for 10 days and had an absolute blast! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel right at home—they were welcoming, helpful, and always had a smile on their faces. The resort itself is loaded with amenities that made our stay so enjoyable. The pool was the perfect temperature—so refreshing after a long day of exploring the trails nearby. Our pets stayed free(a huge bonus!), and the dog park was fantastic. Having the dog wash station right there was such a lifesaver after dusty hikes—it made traveling with our pups stress-free. There’s never a dull moment around Crazy Horse. The resort is close to so many incredible attractions—like the Sand Caves, Belly of the Dragon, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, and of course Zion National Park. It was the perfect hub for adventure, but also a relaxing place to come back to at the end of the day. Between the friendly staff, the clean and well-maintained facilities, and the unbeatable location, this was easily one of the best RV resorts we’ve ever stayed at. We’re already planning our next trip back!

    Snow Canyon State Park Campground

    Disappointed

    This is a wonderful campground. The sites are well designed and some are really special. The reason I gave it only three stars has to do with pets. Dogs are not allowed on any hiking trails. They are allowed, however, on the paved bicycle trail which felt dangerous for both dogs and bicyclists. My 17 year old cat is a well seasoned camper. He free ranges around where he feels comfortable and always knows where home lies. The Camp Ranger ordered my cat to be leashed. That was a first in four months of camping and I knew it would not go well. We were going to stay for one week but left after only one night. Disappointed.

    Cedar Breaks RV Park

    Near MTB Riding

    We stayed here to get in some MTB riding.  The park is conveniently located whether you want to ride the East or West side/s of Cedar City.  The park is clean, mostly level, and has a nice dog park.  Our site was near the entrance, which meant we were close to Main St and quite a bit of traffic noise.  Next time, I'd look for a place more towards the back of the park.

    St. George / Hurricane KOA Journey

    Red Cliffs Hiking

    This KOA is located about ten minutes outside of St George and right off the I-15 freeway. It was all the amenities that your typical KOA has; dog park, hookups, cabins, and store. The best part of this KOA is its proximity to Red Cliffs National Conservation Area which is about a mile away. This National Conservation Area is surrounded by towering red cliffs that have miles of hiking trails through them. It's a great place to spend the day exploring. 

    The only downside is the traffic noise on the I-15 at night. But if you are in your RV or van you will hardly notice it. This is a good campground for any trip to Zion or the surrounding area. 

    Cell Service: Good

    Cedar City RV Resort by Rjourney

    Great for family RV trip

    We booked Cedar City KOA as our first trip to a KOA. The park is on the edge of town but close to anything you might want or need. Our site was directly across from the playground and 50 steps from the off-leash dog park. Both the kids and the dog greatly appreciated both. Unfortunately, some campers struggle with quiet hours and allowed their kids to scream and play in the playground until as late as 1am. The second night of our stay the kids were back after 1ppm, but the staff swooped in and gently moved them along. Speaking of the staff, they were friendly, attentive, and professional 100% of the time. The grounds were well maintained and clean and the campground full of friendly faces.
