Dog-Friendly Campsites in Europe

Dog-Friendly Campsites in Europe

Pack the lead, the favourite ball and the whole family: every campsite here is pet friendly, from Brittany woodlands to Italian lakeshores, with plenty of pools and play for everyone else.

191 campsites

Holidays are better when the whole pack comes along. Every campsite on this page is pet friendly, so there is no kennel, no goodbye at the door and no guilty look from the back seat. Your dog gets pitch-side sniffing rights, you get a pool, and the children get a four-legged holiday companion.

The best dog-friendly campsites go beyond a simple yes. At Camping Village Punta Navaccia on Lake Trasimeno, dogs stay free of charge, with a pet beach, dog showers and a dog washing area, plus room for up to 3 pets per pitch. Camping Domaine de Mesqueau in Brittany offers a seven-hectare enclosed nature estate with a pond and wooded trails, then heated swimming pools for the humans afterwards. On Lake Garda, Club Del Sole Desenzano Boutique Resort has an off-leash area and dog showers, with the lake right on the doorstep.

Brittany is a particularly happy hunting ground. Flower Camping Le Vieux Moulin welcomes dogs throughout the campsite and you can swim in two heated pools, one of them indoors. Flower Camping Cap Finistère accepts dogs and cats in mobile homes, caravans and on tent pitches, while the rest of the family heads for the heated pools, waterslides and water playground.

A few simple habits keep everyone happy: dogs stay on a lead, vaccination papers and pet passports come along, and your dog is never left alone in the accommodation. Need help choosing? Tell us who is travelling and we match you with a unit and a campsite that suit the whole family. All that is left is to pack the ball.

Little ones and a dog make a perfect double act, as long as there is water to splash in. Flower Camping Monplaisir has a heated outdoor pool with a paddling area made for tiny swimmers. Duca Amedeo Camping Village offers a family pool with a slide and a free mini club from age 3, so the children make friends while you walk the dog. Camping Lou Broustaricq adds a 700 m² aquatic playground, perfect for splashing all day. Every one of them is pet friendly.

With teenagers

Teenagers will happily share the holiday with the dog, especially with a water park on site. Camping Montana Parc Oasis Village has a water park with a wave pool, plus padel and mini-golf. Camping Eden Villages Le Caravan'Ile offers a heated 1,000 m² water park and a Teen's Club. At L' Ultima Spiaggia Camping Village, a four-pool waterfall water park and clubs for every age group keep teens busy, while the dog gets quality time with the family. All are pet friendly.

Couples and grown-up groups with a dog can slow the pace. Camping Fontaine Du Roc sits on a peaceful hilltop among oaks, with a giant 200 m² pool for lazy lengths. Camping Siena Colleverde offers an outdoor pool, a pool bar and shaded trees, ideal for a cold drink while the dog snoozes.

What to look out for when choosing

  • Dog-friendly units: Not every unit takes dogs, so add your dog when booking and choose a dog-friendly one, as at Camping Resort Onda Blu.
  • Number of dogs: Limits per pitch or rental differ, so tell us how many dogs are travelling and we check.
  • Fees: Some campsites welcome dogs free, others ask a small nightly fee; we confirm the amount before you book.
  • Paperwork: Bring vaccination records and proof of chip or tattoo; some campsites also ask for a pet passport.
  • Breed rules: French campsites follow national dangerous-dog categories 1 and 2, so tell us your dog's breed in advance.
  • Lead and company: Dogs stay on a lead and are never left alone in the accommodation, so pick a spot near the pool where the family can take turns.
  • Water access: For dogs that love a splash, look for lake or river locations, such as the Salat river access at Camping Le Haut Salat.

We have walked a lot of campsite paths with a dog at our heels, so here is our shortlist. Travelling with toddlers? Our tip is Flower Camping Monplaisir: a heated outdoor pool with a paddling area, ideal for the youngest swimmers. Teenagers in the car? We love Camping Eden Villages Le Caravan'Ile, where a heated 1,000 m² water park and a Teen's Club keep them happily busy. Couples who want calm should look at Camping Fontaine Du Roc, a peaceful hilltop among oaks with a giant 200 m² pool. And if you like a relaxed, traffic-free feel, Flower Camping Tamarins Plage has a car-free pine forest quarter that suits slow strolls with the dog. Whichever you pick, tell us how many dogs are travelling and we will match you with a dog-friendly unit. Then pack the ball, the lead and the vaccination papers.
