Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Washington, UT

1,898 Reviews

Southern Utah RV Resort features wide pet-friendly spots with full hookups and easy access for large RVs. The clean facilities include two designated dog run areas at opposite ends of the park, allowing pets to exercise off-leash in secured spaces. Travelers with dogs appreciate the 33-foot wide and 80-foot long sites that provide ample room for pets and camping setups. The resort maintains a pet-friendly atmosphere while enforcing reasonable rules to ensure comfort for all guests. St. George/Hurricane KOA Journey, Quail Creek State Park Campground, and WillowWind RV Park also welcome pets with various accommodation options including tent sites, RV spaces, and pet-friendly cabins. The gravel pads at some resorts require careful navigation, especially during arrival and departure with pets.

Dogs are permitted throughout the Sand Hollow OHV Camp area where campers can enjoy both free camping and pet-friendly terrain. North Creek Dispersed Camping offers free pet-friendly camping with no reservations required, providing a more rustic option for those traveling with dogs. When camping with pets in this region, be aware that the extremely sandy terrain at some sites will result in pink-tinted pet fur by the end of your stay. Temperature considerations are important as summer heat can be dangerous for pets, with limited shade available at many campgrounds. Pet owners should note that some campgrounds near Washington feature 24/7 laundry facilities helpful for cleaning pet bedding and gear, with all sites requiring pets to be leashed when outside designated dog areas.

    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.

    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.

    Plenty of things to do

    This place has it all!!! Pull through sites, back in, full hook ups, tables and trash cans at each site. A very nice rv spot, laundry, shuffle board, pool, dog park and a little put area. Your close to everything and restaurants nearby.

    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.

    Nice place

    We stayed for the 4th of July weekend in 2020 and it was a nice place. Easy after hours check in and the staff was very helpful. Clean bathrooms and close to everything cedar city has to offer. Nice dog park too.
