Pet Camping Guidelines

Responsible Pet Ownership is the KEY! Pet owners must pick up after their pets and dispose of pet waste properly. Pets can only be brought into a designated campground if caged, contained in a vehicle, trailer, motor home, or camper, or on a leash. Inquire at the park office about any specific leash length requirements Dogs and cats must have current rabies vaccinations. Pets must display a valid license, if required in its home state. Pets must not be left unattended, except when using a restroom or visiting a park building for a brief period of time. When doing so, the pet must be kept in a camping unit or vehicle, weather conditions permitting. Pets must be under physical control at all times. Pets may not create a disturbance or nuisance. Excessive barking will be considered a disturbance. Pet food must not remain outside of a camping unit or vehicle because it will attract wildlife/rodents. Pets are to be walked in the designated pet walking areas of the campground and on designated pet walkways when accessing other areas of the park from the campground. Pets may not be walked through non-pet areas of the campground unless it is designated as a pet-camper travel route. Pets are permitted in day-use areas, on designated pet sites in campgrounds and all areas not otherwise closed to pets. Pets are not permitted in swimming areas, inside buildings, in non-pet overnight areas such as cabin and group tenting areas, or in any area designated as an area closed to pets. Animals that are considered vicious, dangerous, or that display vicious behavior will not be permitted in the park.

Pennsylvania State Parks allows pets in designated campsites in 47 state park campgrounds, but not every campsite allows pets. If you have a pet, you must use one of the designated pet sites. Other Pennsylvania state parks prohibit pets in overnight areas. Pets are only dogs, cats and caged animals (such as birds and hamsters). A pet is not livestock, like horses, cows, pigs, sheep and goats. Caged pets will not be released from their cage for the duration of their stay in the state park. No more than two non-caged pets are allowed to stay on any one campsite.
