About Pet-Friendly Campgrounds in Washington

Pet-friendly camping in Washington offers an exceptional diversity of experiences where your four-legged companions can explore everything from saltwater beaches to alpine meadows alongside you. The state's welcoming approach to canine campers means you'll find dog-friendly trails, beach access, and campgrounds throughout its varied landscapes—from the San Juan Islands' coastal shores to the Cascade Mountains' forested peaks.

Best Time

The prime season for pet-friendly camping in Washington runs from late May through September, when trails are snow-free and temperatures remain comfortable for active dogs, typically ranging from 65-80°F in most camping areas.

Tips & Recommendations

1Always carry proof of current vaccinations and rabies certification, as rangers may request documentation at check-in, and research specific campground pet policies before arrival since rules vary between state parks, national forests, and private campgrounds.
2Bring a long tie-out cable or stake for securing your pet at the campsite, extra towels for drying off after lake or river swims, and a portable water bowl for trail hydration.
3Pack waste bags in abundance—Washington campgrounds strictly enforce pack-it-out policies, and many provide pet waste stations but not always on trails.
4Invest in a quality LED collar or light for evening bathroom walks, and consider booties for dogs hiking on volcanic rock or hot summer trails.
