Thankfully, many campsites have begun to cater specifically to dog owners, offering walking trails and fenced areas for your pet to run (and play!).

Dog-friendly campsites make for a great break in the UK’s outdoors. Whether you’re venturing on a camping trip with your four-legged friend or heading out for a few days with friends who have dogs, these campsites provide space to relax and get away from it all.

1. Southdown Way Caravan & Camping Park

Well-behaved dogs are welcome – but on a lead at all times. Any fouling must be picked up immediately and disposed of. A designated bin is available on site.

Located in South East England.

2. Wowo Campsite - Sheffield Park

Every dog that enters the office is asked to say hello and have a 'tummy tickle test'. If the staff like how the dog behaves, then they can stay. Obviously, if the dog doesn't know these rules, or the owner doesn't want to bring it, then don't bring it.

Located in South East England campsites.

3. Llanberis Campsite - Wales

People bringing their dogs are expected to make sure they are up to date with inoculations and have been wormed. Dogs are welcome but are not allowed to cross into the sheep fields where they may harass Sheep - which is an offence in Wales. So people should be careful to monitor their dogs while in these areas.
