The best dog-friendly camping in Canada

·

Bringing your pets along for camping across Canada isn’t just possible—it’s expected, with over 4,600 pet-friendly sites ready for you to explore. You’ll find campsites tucked beside lakes, along rivers, and deep in the woods. The average night runs about $50, but you can snag a spot for as little as $5 if you keep an eye out. Dogs get plenty of room to roam, and you’ll spot on-site essentials like toilets and showers almost everywhere. Fishing, swimming, and hiking are the staples—no need to leave your four-legged mates behind. For a proven spot, check out Mouth of the Magaguadavic Camping (273 reviews), Pine the Sky (235 reviews), or Blacksmith Landing Eco Camp (232 reviews). Grab the leash, pack your gear, and discover just how pet-friendly Canada’s outdoors can be.

Chesley, ON · 1 site
Tucked away beneath the trees in the heart of Grey-Bruce, Raven Hollow is a little place to disappear from the ordinary for a while. Follow the path into our 50-acre wood, where winding trails disappear beneath the trees, ravens call overhead, and curious wanderers may find a few unexpected things hidden along the way. Days here are meant to move slowly. Wander the trails. Listen for owls after dark. Watch the fire. Look for mushrooms and tiny forest treasures. Or do absolutely nothing at all. Nestled among the trees is Camp Kyle, our tiny off-grid cabin built for unplugging from the modern world—without giving up the pleasure of climbing into a king-sized bed at the end of the day. Outside, you'll find a covered kitchen and dining area and a large open firepit for long evenings beneath the stars. Raven Hollow is intentionally rustic. This isn't a resort tucked into the woods... the woods are the experience. Expect wildlife, changing weather, dirt beneath your boots, dark skies, crackling fires and all the little sounds that come with sleeping in a forest. And while the Hollow can feel wonderfully far away from everything, you aren't. Chesley is about 10 minutes away and Hanover about 20, with hiking, waterfalls, beaches, swimming, fishing, small towns and plenty more to explore throughout the surrounding area. There are also lots of backroads and opportunities for ATV and side-by-side adventures nearby. Dogs are very welcome, but must remain leashed at all times while exploring Raven Hollow. Come wander awhile. The Hollow is waiting. Please Note: Our family does live on the property, however we are very far away from the campsite. We do share a driveway with the campsite and drive past now and then.

Hugging the shores of Lake St. Lawrence, Coles Creek State Park is water-loving outdoor’s men (or women’s) dream. Here, you’ll be treated to the area’s scenic boating endeavours and rod-tugging fishing outings. And, better yet, you’re able to bring your quadrupedal family members with you―just not in the park’s designated picnic areas, unfortunately. As far as amenities are concerned, Coles Creek State Park is well-equipped with modern day amenities like showing units and playgrounds geared toward the younger demographics. Coles Creek State Park is a fantastic outlet to bond with Mother Nature―and bring your best friend too. But just make sure that friend’s on a six-foot or shorter leash.

Southgate, ON · 9 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
This beautiful spot was re-forested with pine a number of years ago, and was sectioned off from the surrounding farmland, which is now maintained by the mennonite community. It is 8 1/2 acres of wetland and forest, with a mown perimeter, and cool places to tuck into the forest for the night. The current owner was a special educator, and now is slowly turning the land into her homestead. There is a beautiful, spa quality outdoor shower next to a tidy and 'fancier than most' outhouse, a strawberry patch as well as wild alpine strawberries all over the property, a big dog and a small indoor cat keep her company. Here is what the land offers: -Bunkie in the Forest: A sweet 8x8 ft. space with new bunk and mattresses as of April 2023 -Strawberry Fields bunkie: an 10x12 space with a loft with a queen memory foam mattress and a main floor with a full futon and a small table -Campsites: Meadow, Forest and River spots. Close to each other, but you'd never know it! All three are chill and serene places. The property backs onto a ten-foot swimming hole in an otherwise shallow part of the Saugeen River. -RV Spot: With electric hook up ideal for RVs 30 feet and under -a connection to the organization, 'Black Folks Camp Too'! Welcoming to all!!!!! So much to see and do in the area!

Heavens Acres has been a stop over since the 1850's for people travelling by horse from Toronto to Owen Sound. We have 100 acres surrounded by another 200 acres of conservation land. There is camping in the pine forest as well at the very back of the property where you will find a hardwood bush with trails. Please note that the hipcamp map shows a large body of water on the property, as does google driving maps. It is a marsh, not a lake. Google Earth shows it better. There is however, a creek and pond, but don't bring your boat. :) This is a "LEAVE NO TRACE" campsite, so please take all garbage when you leave. There is no water or power, but there is an outhouse Your furry friends are allowed for free but if you have extra people please pay for them. You can adjust your booking if there are more people than originally requested. This covers costs like insurance and private property access, property taxes and the huge initial investment. Please note that in the winter months. There’s a $25 surcharge. This is required for snow removal to access the sites that are at at least 1 km into the bush. We are in a snow belt area and it is very difficult to keep the sites open in the winter. Four-wheel-drive is required for access in the winter!

Brant, ON · 6 sites · Tents, RVs
It was 1984 when John found his ‘diamond in the rough’, 20 acres with an orchard on the outskirts of Brantford. O.K., so the house was nothing to write home about but perfect for building a construction yard…no neighbors except for the family across the road that used their property to build log homes. By 1987 the old house was gone, a new one was being built and a shop for working on heavy equipment had been located about 200 ft. from Dr. the back door. It wasn’t until 1996 that things changed very much. Yes, the property around the house had benefitted from a wide array of trees and shrubs that John saved from the construction/demolition jobs he had done and that still thrive today but no big projects (except for equipment purchases) were ongoing. A chance meeting with the neighbor across the road one day resulted in the following dinner conversation, ‘How was your day’ I chirped. ‘Not bad, so-and-so didn’t come in; the truck broke down and I took it for repair; I bought the property across the road, and oh, yeah I’ll need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ was John’s casual reply. ‘What was that’? I pressed. ‘Yes, I need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ he repeated with a bit more volume. Of course like anyone, I had questions, ‘Do you want peas or corn with dinner’? ‘What time do you want to go to get the truck’? ‘The property across the road’, 10 acres, still has the 4 storey barn with its twin tiled silos which was built in 1914 and the big white house with wrap around porch that once was home to a Doctor and his family. Built so the Doctor could see his patients in the front with the family living in the back was very common in the day. Things remained relatively peaceful until 2000 when after studying alpacas for more than 6 years I bought our first three. Back in 2000 alpacas and llamas were not frequently seen on farms and because they could been seen from the road they received A LOT of attention. People driving by would stop and ask about them, ask if they could take a picture or two and that was when I would hear over and over again ‘You have a beautiful place here, I wish I/we could stay’. Well, if you want to visit and stay in the city it’s doable, we call it a hotel. But visiting a farm and staying well, that isn’t so easy. Each year we would see more and more families coming to ‘The Farm’ as they would call it. Some came to see the alpacas and horses, some came for a stroll and to check out the horse drawn milk and bread delivery wagons, some to have family birthday parties, others to have engagement/wedding/Christmas card pictures…and so many asked if there was any way they could spend a day or two. In 2021 during a conversation with a friend I mentioned we were in the process of gutting the 1100 sq. ft. space downstairs and turning it into an Airbnb! Right away she said, ‘I don’t know why you don’t have a Hipcamp? You’ve got that great area by the new barn that Hipcampers would love’! After a little investigation I found out what a Hipcamp was and the rest is history.

Find Your Peace at Monarch Landing at Morgan's Point Tucked beside Morgan's Point Conservation Area on the shores of Lake Erie, Monarch Landing is a small, family-owned camping retreat created for people who appreciate quiet spaces, nature, and the simple joy of slowing down. Unlike large campgrounds, we offer only a handful of spacious campsites beneath mature trees, giving every guest room to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. One of the things that makes Monarch Landing truly unique is our private trail. Step through the gate at the edge of the property and follow a scenic wooded path directly into the conservation area, where you'll emerge along one of Lake Erie's most beautiful and lesser-known shorelines. Spend your days searching for fossils among the ancient limestone shelves, exploring the Niagara Geopark, watching birds along the shoreline, or simply enjoying spectacular sunsets over the lake. Whether you're an early riser with a coffee in hand or someone who loves ending the day around a campfire beneath the stars, this is a place to reconnect with nature. What you'll enjoy: • Spacious campsites with plenty of room to spread out • Large, mature trees providing shade and privacy • Direct walking access to Morgan's Point Conservation Area • A private trail leading to the Lake Erie shoreline • Clean guest washroom with a flush toilet and sink • Potable drinking water available on-site • Firewood available for purchase • RV site with hydro service • A peaceful atmosphere, perfect for couples, families, solo travellers, and outdoor enthusiasts Although you'll feel immersed in nature, you're still only a short drive from Port Colborne, Long Beach, wineries, restaurants, golf courses, and many of Niagara's best attractions. Whether you're here for a quiet weekend, a sunset walk along Lake Erie, or simply to unwind around a campfire, we hope you'll leave feeling refreshed—and already planning your next visit. Welcome to Monarch Landing at Morgan's Point. Find Your Peace.
