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.

Madoc, ON · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
Hemlock Point Campground is set on a private waterway fed by the Black River, nestled among forests and rocky ridges. The river offers a few different swimholes easily within walking or paddling range, as well as some decent fishing and wildlife sightings. Each campsite is spacious with a private driveway, outhouse, picnic table, and more. As well as using the canoe provided, campers are also welcome to hike the marked and groomed waterfront hiking trails throughout the 56 acre property, and just down the road is Mt.Moriah, a Buddhist Center, and numerous backcountry trails, reserves, and lakes. ATV's are permitted on the road, (gateway to trails to Lingham, Deer Rock, Caniff, and Skootamatta Lakes) and friendly dogs are welcome off leash. This is a unique gelogical landscape, situated between Mt. Moriah, the Elzevir pluton complex and the Black River in an ultramafic zone, with coloured quartz veins and pillowed granite outcroppings. Mixed forest with varied species of deciduous and conifer trees - due to aerial seeding after a forest fire over 80 years ago, leaving charred stumps that can still be found from natural char preservation. Home to pileated woodpeckers, hawks, eagles and kingfishers, otters, fishers, salamanders, brown river trout and everything in between, either from the vantage of a hammock or on a hike in the forest this natural site won't disappoint.
