The best dog-friendly camping near Chesaning

·

Camping with your pets in Chesaning is straightforward—over 690 pet-friendly sites sit within reach, many surrounded by woods, fields, and rivers. Average nightly rates hover around $40, though you can snag a spot for as little as $15. You’ll find campsites that actually welcome dogs, not just tolerate them. Fires are allowed at most locations, and basic toilets are common. Local favorites include Be Wild and Free (104 reviews), Elysium Heritage Farm (83 reviews), and B Mo's Hideout (75 reviews). Hiking trails cut through maple groves and quiet farmland. Wildlife-watchers spot deer and sandhill cranes early morning. In winter, a dusting of snow brings out cross-country skiers and sled dogs. Pack extra water, double-check leash rules, and expect to hear coyotes at night.

Leaning Pine Acres

The Leaning Pine offers three quarters of an acre attached to 2 wooded acres. It is in a Cove backed up to the woods creating a very secluded site with your own private fire pit. As of right now we are only renting the lot out as a single site. It is perfectly located just outside of down town and centrally located near all Major Freeways. Order food right to your tent or gathering without leaving your company. Star Gazing and sleeping in a tent right next to the woods really gives it that up-north feeling. Anything for Anyone of all ages in Beautiful Michigan. Book any time to enjoy all of the seasons in our great state of Michigan. Contact us to book our with any questions about the site area.
