Your guide to the best pet-friendly camping spots in California.
Want to bring your dog on a California camping trip? This list has you covered. From the San Francisco Bay Area to Los Angeles and all the way out to Lake Tahoe and Joshua Tree, its possible to find pet-friendly campsites across the state where you and your pooch are both welcome to enjoy the outdoors together. While many California state parks and national parks allow leashed pets in campgrounds, dogs arent typically permitted on trails. For more freedom, opt for a pet-friendly Hipcamp RV site, cabin, or tent campsite where you can get more space and privacy. Many campsites are within a short distance of California highlights like pet-friendly hiking trails and beaches. Make sure to consider the time of year and weather forecast when booking your California pet camping trip. Summer heat or winter lows could mean a cozy cabin or glamping site are more comfortable for you and your pet than tent camping.
