Log Cabin Resort and Campground in Trego welcomes pets at their tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and glamping accommodations. The property offers water and electric hookups, clean restrooms, hot showers, and a sanitary dump station for RV campers traveling with animals. Hayward KOA, about 15 miles from Trego, accommodates pets at all their camping options including tent sites, RV spaces, cabins, yurts, and glamping units. Both campgrounds maintain a pet-friendly environment with designated areas for dog walking, though pets must be leashed at all times. The Log Cabin Resort features an inflatable park for children and river access where families with dogs can enjoy water activities. Anchor Woods Campground in nearby Spooner also permits pets with full hookup sites for RV campers.
Several dog-friendly hiking trails and water access points surround the Trego area, making it ideal for active pets. Earl Park Landing provides a free, rustic camping experience where dogs can enjoy the riverside location, though most sites require carrying gear 100-300 feet from the parking area. For campers seeking more amenities, Shell Lake Municipal Park offers pet-friendly camping with water and electric hookups plus nearby beach access. Camp Namekagon, located in Springbrook, provides on-site kayak, canoe, and tube rentals for guests with pets who want to enjoy the river. During summer months, the canoe landings become quite busy with recreational users, so securing pets on leashes is essential. Most campgrounds in the area require pet owners to properly dispose of waste and keep dogs from disturbing wildlife or other campers.

"Nice enough county campground, with some beautiful lake views, especially the newer section on the west side. This area has sites with W/E and full hookups."
TravelerLocated on the Chippewa flow-age in north west Wisconsin, this is a beautiful campground with lots of available activities. Full hook-up and pull through sites are available. Prices are reasonable ($48.00/night). Pets are allowed on a leash.
Will definitely stay there again.
TravelerStaying here currently & they have been very accommodating, friendly & flexible. Water & electric hookup but no sewer however there is a dump station, a bathhouse with real toilets & nice showers. Pretty quiet for being so close to the main highway. My cats are able to free roam the property & my dog can be tied up outside. Usually pretty nice neighbors too.
LegendAs we arrived on a Saturday around 1:45 PM, there was quite the line of RVs checking in as most people come in for a week on Saturdays. As we have been here multiple times, we knew not to line up down the narrow road shoot that’s adjacent to the lodge where you check in but stay on the main road. They had plenty of staff on duty, so check-in was fairly quick, and we headed to site 457, which was an easy back-in with FHUs. We were pleasantly surprised we didn’t get site 456 right on the road. When we make a reservation for this campground(CG), you can only pick an area, not a specific site, for most of the sites. This was the first time we’d stayed in this area of mixed short-term and seasonal sites. The FHU facilities were placed in the middle of the gravel-grass site with a picnic table and fire pit. We were able to put out our back patio and have plenty of space to park our F450. There are a lot of mature trees in this park, so satellite is going to be iffy depending on the site. We were able to get an okay shot to the north for Starlink but no chance for the southern sky. You can opt to pay for the park Wi-Fi. The water pressure is good, and we had two bars on Verizon. The staff at the lodge/office is top-notch. We found out that this year’s“watch out” was kids riding electric bikes full out versus underage golf cart drivers of last year, so“watch out” in either case. The CG has been trying to police the lack of parental oversight, but this first-rate CG attacks a lot of families. Though there’s no formal dog park, there are plenty of areas to walk your dog, including the trail up and around the newer primitive camping area. Lake Chip is one of our favs, and we will continue to return.
ScoutAwesome place to go swimming. Very kid friendly, and pet friendly.
LegendPet friendly and the perfect get away. Relaxing, quiet and surrounded by nature. We’re lucky enough to plan ahead and book for the fall colors. Highly recommended for those who respect nature, it’s beauty and the silence they encompass.
GuideThe falls are so beautiful. Well taken care of park with wonderful hiking trails, pet friendly clean park and did I mention the beautiful falls? :) I can't wait to come back. SO much to do and see. If your a nature lover then this is a must visit place.
ScoutFor what it is - a rustic, small, free campground - it's very nice.
Mostly I am compelled to review this because the listing says you can park at your campsite. Most of the sites are not by the parking area. They aren't overly far away, but you're definitely lugging your stuff 100-300 feet at least.
Picnic tables, fire ring, pit toilets, and a water station are the total of the amenities. Some nearby homes sell firewood (along Hwy 63 toward Trego, or toward Hayward).
On weekend days the canoe landing, which is directly adjacent to the camping, is very busy. There's an outfitter that brings canoes/kayaks and innertubes here, and this section of the river is very popular with tubers.
IMO the best site is the one that's farthest from the parking area. It's next to the river and has a tiny landing.
For what it is, I'd give it 5 stars. Compared to the entirety of camping options, then a 3.
TravelerThis this is an amazing Campground for the family it's a wonderful County Park with really cheap sites ranging from $15 for just water hookups to $18 for a site with electric and water they have bath houses by the campsites with flushing toilets and hot showers the Rangers are extremely friendly and always willing to deliver wood to your site further down the campground they have a community stage with local bands playing all throughout the summer some events free some a minor charge most of the time you can sit right at your site and listen to the band if you forgot some food take a nice hike through the woods to the grocery store along with easy access for the lake which is beautiful! For swimming watersports and fishing with an amazing Sandy Beach and an ice cream shop just across the highway in walking distance there's no better place to bring the family also pet friendly
GuideThis campground is a great option close to the Twin Cities. There are small number of hike in camp sites with nearby water (Straight Lake). The park offered carts to help pack in camping supplies. The Ice Age Trail also runs next to this park. The amount of mosquitos seemed higher than other Wisconsin locations. The lake shore, when we visited, was blocked by lots of vegetation, geese droppings with one small access point which would be great for kayaks; however you can't expect much more since it is a rustic campground.

Rustic options require preparation: Earl Park Landing offers basic amenities for dog owners. "Most of the sites are not by the parking area. They aren't overly far away, but you're definitely lugging your stuff 100-300 feet at least," explains Nola R.

Dump station logistics: Some campgrounds have awkward dump station placement. At Washburn County Totogatic Park, Deb M. notes the "absolutely ridiculous placement of the dump station that requires maneuvering around one of the campground loops and blocking part of a main road to dump from the correct side of your RV."
