Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Belgium, WI
Harrington Beach State Park Campground features electrical hookups and allows pets at all campsites with proper vaccination records. The 31 spacious sites provide privacy with thick brush between each one, though limited trees mean little natural shade during summer visits. Sites are well-maintained with fire pits and picnic tables, while vault toilets and exceptionally clean shower facilities remain available from May through October. Many sites have thick prairie grass and wildflowers surrounding them, creating a natural buffer between neighbors. The campground sits approximately one mile from Lake Michigan's shoreline, offering both RV and tent camping options with 30-amp electric connections available at designated sites.
Paved park trails connect the campground to Lake Michigan beach access where leashed pets are permitted in designated areas, though recent visitors note the pet beach section has eroded significantly with slippery rocks replacing what was once sand. Multiple hiking paths wind through the 715-acre property, including a scenic route around an old limestone quarry lake where wildlife viewing opportunities abound. Campers should bring their own shade structures during summer months as the emerald ash borer infestation required removal of many trees throughout the property. The nearby Kettle Moraine State Forest offers additional pet-friendly camping options with both Long Lake and Mauthe Lake campgrounds providing similar amenities within 30 miles of Belgium.
