PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dyrt, the No. 1
app for camping availability, photos and reviews, has announced the
Top 9 for K-9s: The Most Dog-Friendly Campgrounds in The U.S. for
2024. Camping is for the dogs, and we mean that in the best way
possible. According to The Dyrt's 2024 Camping Report presented by
The All-New Toyota Tacoma, more than half of campers (53.7%)
brought their four-legged friends along with them in 2023.
The Dyrt also found that 46.8% of campers list RVing as their
primary camping type. If you think about it, it's a perfect match.
All the comforts of home and your best buddy, or buddies, traveling
comfortably alongside you. No surprise then that five of the nine
campgrounds in the Top 9 for K-9s cater primarily to RVs.
Speaking of being catered to, the No. 1 campground this year is
4 Paws Kingdom Campground & Dog Retreat in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. Yes, "Dog" is
right there in the name. This property truly prioritizes pampering
pooches, right down to not allowing any humans under the age of 18
for optimal relaxation and minimal fur tugging. 4 Paws is set on
nine acres and some of the individual campsites even have fenced-in
yards.
"People love camping for a lot of the same reasons that dogs
love camping," says Sarah Smith,
founder of The Dyrt. "You get out of the house, immerse yourself in
nature, explore, see some wildlife, sit by a fire, sleep in the
great outdoors. When we take Brandy (aka The Dyrt Dog) camping with
us, I know she's having as much fun as we are."
Top 9 for K-9s is the official close to The Dyrt awards season,
which started with The Glampys and was followed by the Best Places
to Camp Regional and National awards, presented by Toyota
Tacoma, and the Best Places to RV presented by State Farm.
Using AI to sift through The Dyrt's millions of user-generated
reviews, photos and tips of U.S. campgrounds, we identified
campgrounds that were not just dog-friendly, but dog-welcoming.
They are ranked based on reviews, photos, accommodations and
amenities offered. Here's to the dog days of summer! Who wants to
go for a ride?!
- 4 Paws Kingdom Campground & Dog Retreat — North Carolina: Doggy heaven on Earth
- Wagonhammer RV Park & Campground — Idaho: Welcome to off-leash island
- Lake George RV Park — New
York: Bark Park hits the mark
- Alum Creek State Park — Ohio:
Fenced-in fields for big and small dogs
- Tahoe Valley Campground — California: Dogs want to go to Tahoe too
- Campground at James Island County Park — South Carolina: 643 acres of exploring
- Chatfield State Park — Colorado: 69-acre, fenced-in dog park
- First Landing State Park — Virginia: 20 miles of trails and Chesapeake Bay beach
- Santa Fe Skies RV Park — New
Mexico: Trails, a dog park and unmatched mountain views
All nine campgrounds earned positive reviews from The Dyrt
campers, a group which is becoming more proactive in seeking out
campgrounds that meet their needs as pet owners. The 2024 Camping
Report found that when it came to adding amenities, the only things
property owners added more than dog parks were Wi-Fi and pickleball
courts.
"We've never been to a park like this one and highly recommend
it if you can get in," says The Dyrt camper Gabi B. about
top-ranked 4 Paws Kingdom. "We'll be back for sure!"
