The best dog-friendly campgrounds in Pennsylvania

For a pet-friendly camping trip in Pennsylvania, you'll have your pick of yurts, cabin rentals, RV sites, and good old tent camping sites. Most Pennsylvania state parks set aside sites for campers with pets so furry friends have plenty of room to play—so long as they're leashed. At private campsites you can get a bit more freedom—and you may even befriend other campers while your dog makes some new friends of their own. Some pet-friendly campsites in Pennsylvania feature communal picnic sites, outdoor fire pits, and recreation areas, but if your dog is big on swimming, you can head to Lake Erie to experiment with paddle boarding and kayaking—or play it safe with games of fetch along the sandy shoreline. Black Moshannon State Park is another top spot with modern pet-friendly cabins overlooking a lake. Whether you're exploring the Pennsylvania wilds outside Philly, Pittsburgh, or Hershey, neither your dog—nor you—will be begging for more options. Treats on the other hand…

We loved our stay at this campsite! It was secluded without feeling too far from parks and convenience stores, quiet and clean. The site was neat and tidy when we arrived and the firewood onsite was a great addition. Will definitely be back!

This land was awesome. Private, plenty of space, super short walk to the car, porta pot was clean. The creeks/streams were beautiful, and so close to camp. Picnic table was extra large. Definitely coming back!

I l-l-l-loved everything about it! A beautiful ride. Arrived at the barn and was met be our charming host. A walk/ride past the farm animals to a seclude area up on a hill. The yurt was so cozy and inviting. Best cot ever. I will never sleep on an air mattress again! Great for one or two people. Plenty of spa e for additional tents if you need that. Big fire pit and LOTS of wood. Easy to cook on the fire pit but bonus propane grill and really convenient and stocked prep/kitchen area. Even soap and water dispenser setup for ease of cleanup. Delicious icy cold well water for drinking, too. We were also gifted some of their honey and eggs 🍀 Then there’s the farm! What a sweet experience. We got to feed the animals and collect the morning eggs. Walk to the Brandywine Nearby Creek for a beautiful walk along. I recommend! This is a special place!

Outstanding campground. very remote yet close to town and other attractions. Bear View was set back off the road a bit, which was perfect and a nice secluded spot. Casey responded back immediately to any questions or concerns and I will be back to do some winter camping in their cabins. Definitely a must place to stay if you are looking to visit Jim Thorpe and the surrounding area.

Such a lovely time! The camp site was put together very well. It had a kitchen, Living area and the tent. Everything was very clean and we had everything we needed. My daughter got to feed the animals, we were gifted fresh eggs we picked from the chicken coupe as well as fresh honey. We would for sure camp here again!

Excellent stay! Greg and Abbie were so welcoming and made sure I had everything and anything I could need (which was already there). Took my jeep up to the spot, the teepee style tent kept me dry in the rain, the cot was comfy, and having the couch was an added bonus. I appreciate not having to set up anything (my body wasn’t up for it). I loved feeding the goats and horse, petting the pony and pigs, seeing the chickens. Sunset was lovely. It was peaceful and just what I needed. Close to home, but far enough away. I will definitely be back!

Just had the most magical stay! The host was so friendly and helpful and the site and experience were exactly as advertised. My son and I got to feed all the animals (pigs, goats, horse, pony) and meet the sweetest kitten in the world. The site has everything you need for a cozy stay: clean water, a big fire pit, pans and a grill for cooking. And in the teepee there's a comfy couch for snuggling up before bed. Bring sleeping pads and prepare to snuggle up if you have more than 2 people! Site felt totally private and had a perfect view of the sunset. We had a delicious breakfast 10 minutes away at Two Birds Cafe and then spent the day at Longwood Gardens 15 minutes away. It was a 24-hour getaway that felt like pure heaven. We're definitely coming back.

We had such a great time and plan on going back! The firewood was ready for us right next to the fire pit, and we loved the farm fresh eggs and honey. Plenty of room for our 2-room tent and rest of our set up, plus extra accommodations if you forget anything. Our 2 dogs loved it too!

It was a great spot and a beautiful campsite. We were on the end so very quiet, barely any other cars drove by. The fire pit was really nice and they have wood chips down on the tent sites, so it was even more comfortable to walk on.

Weekend Trip to RoundStone

We loved our spot at tent site #3, felt very private (which means a bit of a trip from car to campsites, but we preferred this). There were plenty of places to hang a hammock, plop down a tent, our dog loved being in the middle of all the birds and chipmunks. There was also a lovely oasis (mossy beds and twisty trees by the stream) just next to the site we wandered into which was peaceful and beautiful. The porta-johns were clean and convenient, all the other campers there were far enough away that we felt comfortable talking and playing low music. Definitely plan to come back in the future with some more friends, twas a perfect camping experience for us!
