The best dog-friendly camping in New York

·

New York campsites are ideal getaways for the whole family—and that means the whole family. Pet-friendly camping is easy to find in New York, with roomy cabins, secluded RV campgrounds, and beach campsites prepared to accommodate even your furriest of friends. Settle into a rustic cabin in the Catskills, where you can let your pooch explore outdoor picnic areas and nearby hiking trails, where Fido will love the fresh air and mountain views almost as much as you. If you’d rather head further upstate, book a dog-friendly campsite in the Adirondacks for some of New York’s best bird-watching, or choose a lakeside vacation rental in the Finger Lakes to take your pet for a swim. Long Island beach camping is also perfect for pets.
