Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Wausaukee, WI

Evergreen Park & Campground accommodates campers with pets throughout its operating season from May 1 to October 1. The wooded campsites provide secluded spots for dogs and their owners with basic amenities including fire pits and picnic tables. Campers note the campground has a party atmosphere that appeals to some but might not suit those seeking quiet retreats with their pets. Governor Thompson State Park Campground and Peshtigo River Campground also welcome pets with varying amenities. Both offer drinking water and trash facilities important for pet owners during longer stays. Facilities at these campgrounds include showers and toilets, with Peshtigo River providing additional conveniences like a market for purchasing pet supplies. The campgrounds accommodate tents, RVs, and in some cases cabins, allowing flexibility for various camping styles when traveling with animals.

Peshtigo River provides excellent access for dogs that enjoy water activities with boat-in sites and riverside locations. The campground has several full hookup sites that are nicely spaced, creating comfortable environments for pets that need room to settle. Dogs can accompany their owners on tubes down the Peshtigo River during warm months, with trips operating between 10am and 3pm daily. Old Veterans Lake Campground features lake access trails from some sites, making it particularly appealing for water-loving dogs. Sites 11, 12, and 13 offer direct lake access where dogs can swim, and children regularly catch frogs, fish and turtles during visits. The campground's small size and isolation provide a quieter environment for pets sensitive to noise or other animals, though facilities are minimal with only pit toilets available.

    Newport State Park Campground

    Best hike-in camping in Wisconsin!

    This is the best place to camp in Wisconsin if you’re looking for a mix of outdoor adventure and touristy activities like drive in theaters and wine tastings. The site we stayed at was a 1.5 mile hike in. You could definitely bring a mountain bike to make the trip to and from your campsite faster but we enjoyed the hike. I’ve been for 2 separate 3-day trips and never once saw another camper. The sites are far enough apart to feel like no one else is around. Enjoy the best that Wisconsin has to offer!

    Tranquil Timbers

    NOT PET FRIENDLY

    Tranquil Timbers advertises pet friendly but they ARE NOT pet friendly. If your dog makes any kind of noise whatsoever, they are NOT welcome. Motorcycles and noisy kids however, park approved!

    O. B. Fuller Campground

    On the shores of Lake Michigan

    You could drive by and miss this little gem. Beautifully kept up county park with clean shower house. Pet friendly, they even have a hitching post for your pet while visiting the bathrooms. On site hosts.

    All sites are within a short walking distance of the beach and some are right on the beach. Site L1 had a good mix of beach and woods. Near the beach is a small playground for the kids.

    Dovetail Acres Campground

    Relatively New RV Campground

    Convenient to Sister Bay in Door County, Wisconsin. Off of WI Hwy 57. Large open field. 27 pull-through RV sites are equipped to handle the biggest RV’s by providing 34′ x 75′ sites. 33 back-in RV sites. 10 walk in tent sites. Pets welcome - $5/day pet fee. New restrooms & showers. No cell service, but very good free WiFi service. Clean campsites, well maintained. No privacy between sites. Gravel driveways. Picnic table. Fire ring. Convenience store & gas station on site - Dovetail Trading Company & Citgo gas station. Registration in store. Accepts reservations. Campground was still open on Oct 23, 2021, even though it's season ended on Oct 18. This is a good campground for RVs. I camped here when I couldn't find another campground that had available sites. I thought it was overpriced for camping in my camper van with no hookups needed, but it was okay in a pinch.

    Rivers Bend Campground

    Happy Camper

    We enjoyed our stay very much. Pretty campground, extremely friendly and helpful staff, nice neighbors all around. The shower area could use some updating, but was fairly clean. It is a dog friendly place and for the most part they were well behaved pets. We planned on staying four nights and are staying six instead. Taking advantage of the last nice days of the season. I would highly recommend trying this park.

    Governor Thompson State Park Campground

    Private!

    Park is located in the Peshtigo River state forest. Pet friendly!! Your pets are aloud on trails and with you at your campsite. They must be on a 6 ft leash. The park is beautiful. What surprised me the most was the pit toliets that looked like tiny houses. Pictures are attached. There is a small lake which is great for kayak and swimming. This park also has a boat launch onto the Cauldron Falls Reservoir. I've attached photos of the map. Almost all the campsites are private and hidden away in their own little spots. There are a few hiking trails which i enjoyed spending time on. If you go down the street a bit you will find Old Veterans state park which has a secluded quiet lake and beach. I spent an afternoon at the beach and never saw a soul. There is not a camp store. The only thing you can buy at the park is firewood.

    Shawano County Park

    First stay at this campground and would definitely go back

    Stayed for the first time at this campground in July and loved it. We stayed on a tent site, it was huge and had electric. I love that the campground is right on the lake and there’s quite a few amenities for people who boat. It is pet friendly and the bathrooms are quite a walk but clean and hot water is available.
