The best dog-friendly campgrounds in Arizona

Want to take your dog, cat, or other pet to the Grand Canyon State? Whether they hit the trails and historic sites with you or stay back at the campsite, you will find a number of welcoming RV and tent camping sites, cabins, and glamping options. Pet-friendly camping can be found across Arizona. Find a comfortable crash pad for your pet near the larger cities of Phoenix, Tucson, and Mesa, as well as popular camping destinations like Sedona, Flagstaff, and Williams. Pet-friendly cabins and campsites can also be found near Grand Canyon National Park, Antelope Canyon, and popular Arizona state parks. Summers can get quite hot and dry in desert regions, while winters can be cold and snowy at higher elevation, so special care needs to be taken for pets, especially if you'll be dry camping. Many private campsite owners request a heads up about your pet companions, especially if they have pets of their own.

TerraSol is a welcoming, relaxed and well maintained place to camp. I loved the community campfire giving me the chance to talk with other campers. Mary was helpful and the location was ideal for access on foot to town and activities.

We enjoyed our stay at Shawn’s campsite. It was great since we got in really late and had to set up as the sun was setting but finding it was easy with the instructions we got. The only thing I would say is make sure your vehicle can do a little off road in case of rain. Fortunately we were in a four wheel drive truck and easily got in and out. Thanks Shawn for letting us stay the night during our trip.

Our host went above and beyond to make everything about this experience amazing. The stay was so soulful. We took the opportunity for river kayaking, and it was made so easy with our hosts help. We were blessed to be able take the time to spend a quiet day painting rocks and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. A few nights under the stars on the loft deck were the reset we needed. Can’t boast more about this stay. Highly recommend all of it.

A welcoming, lovely stay at Mary’s. Mary was so friendly and generous. The parking spots are level gravel. There are picnic tables and access to water and electricity. Mary and her husband offered us use of their two fire rings. They even helped us by bringing a bag of trash to their dump for us. It was a great stay. I would highly recommend stopping here.

This is a classic southwestern rustic property with original adobe, modern amenities if you enjoy a shower with a view, movie theatre popcorn, microwave, sink, loaner bikes to get into Patagonia a short distance away and much more. Most of all, the space has an easy going owner, partner and resident pup and cat. It provides for a wonderful home base from which to explore the area’s hiking, biking, water activities and birding. I’ll be back!

My wife and I loved camping at Mary’s place! She has got all the amenities you need and is very hospitable! The sites are spacious and the neighborhood is extremely peaceful. Although the lane back to her house is a bit rough, it is worth the trip…you just need to take it slow. It is great location! Far enough away from the crowds to be extremely peaceful, but close enough that you can be there within a quarter of an hour. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks Mary!

A very peaceful stay away from the busy city! Jason's helpfulness of what we could do in the area was very much appreciated. It was the best to have a place to stay with two little kids where we didn't have to worry that their busy feet were annoying anyone below us in a hotel. It was an added bonus to be able to bring our dog.

We created some very special memories staying at Jason's cabin and meeting Jason! The nature that surrounds the cabin is stunning and is a great getaway. We used hot bubbly Jacuzzi under a beautiful sky after our long hike. We all loved climbing up on the loft just to chill and observe beautiful sky and feel some fresh air. Jason welcomed us so kindly and made us feel home. The cabin and Jason's hospitality is so special and something that is hard to find elsewhere. We highly recommend! Thank you so much Jason! We will be back!

WE LOVED OUR STAY. The host was super helpful and had countless suggestions on places to check out. The river was beautiful! We plan to come back again and explore. This town is soooo underrated. It feels like we know about a secret place and it’s only 1.5-2 hours from the Phoenix Valley. The “cabin” was small and basic. No frills but we felt safe, had WiFi, clean place to cook, shower and sleep.

The spot was perfect for what it was. It was camping with walls and beds! We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit and the relaxing, pretty setting. We all got a good night sleep. We will definitely stay there again if we head up that way.
