Puppy Paradise is a Dog forward recreation space. Our two camp hosts, Joannie and James, are working towards improving the facilities each day to help support dog partners who like to recreate with their dogs off leash in a predictable environment. In addition to a comfortable campsite, there are some 30 acres of desert forest, wild clay harvesting and ancient pottery firing, restorative agriculture, and no light pollution, making for a nature-focused experience both day and night. We are in the path of totality for the solar eclipse, so join us for this special day! Puppy Paradise is here are several downtown areas within 15-20 minutes of the campsite. Salado is our home town and it's a welcoming space especially around the Barrow Brewery and Salado creed where they often have outdoor music in a park setting with several local food vendors. We are central to North Austin and about 50 minutes outside of Austin city center.

A Backcountry oasis!

This campsite is so BEAUTIFUL! Perfect for a small group of friends or family to gather around the campfire and relax. The host was so helpful, bringing us fire during a wet evening. Our dogs were so happy, the canpsite is extremly private and give off that backcountry feel. I am still experiencing a campers high. The fire pit technology was also really cool, i was able to start the fire easily in the morning for cofee. This is a Really beautiful campsite! I will most definatly be visiting again!

This is such a beautiful spot with some great views of the sunrise and sunset . Joannie is a fantastic host. He will give you a tour of the property and make sure that you are placed in the camp spot that best suits your needs. His pups are super friendly and great hosts themselves. I really enjoyed my stay and I’ll definitely be back.
