When you’re planning your next camping trip, don’t forget to include your furry family members, too.
Dogs (and adventurous cats) are crucial members of a family, and you can avoid missing your furry best friends while you’re on vacation by choosing one of these Arcadia, Florida RV parks or campgrounds that welcomes pets. It’s tough to say whether you or your pets will have more fun camping here!
Pet-Friendly Arcadia, FL RV Parks and Campgrounds
Arcadia Peace River Campground
The Peace River Campground offers a variety of campsites for different needs. Reserve a full hookup site to accommodate your RV, or choose a “wilderness site” if more rustic tent camping is more your speed. The campground offers a long list of activities for all ages and interests, such as:
- ATV trails
- Open playground and basketball court
- Fossil hunting
- A pool
- Swimming spots in the Peace River (likely to be a favorite with your pup!)
- Campfire rings on each campsite
- Community and social events, like live music, ice cream socials, and food trucks
The showers, bathrooms, and picnic tables available to campers will give your family just enough of the comfortable amenities they need to fully embrace the rustic environment.
Toby’s RV Resort
For a less rustic, more resort-style (but still pet-friendly) stay, consider Toby’s RV Resort. The country-themed community features scenic tree-lined streets and spacious sites. There is a small fee of $10 per pet per night to bring your furry friends, and the ability to wake up and give them a big hug during your stay will be worth it! Toby’s offers the following amenities to make your stay exciting and comfortable:
- Beach Access

Beyond these amenities, this Arcadia RV park also provides guests with a variety of social, musical, and creative activities on-site. Visitors are encouraged to take a dancing lesson (line, country western, and swing style lessons available), join co-ed water aerobics, and/or attend a church service while visiting. There’s truly no shortage of ways to occupy your time at Toby’s.
Encore Riverside RV Resort and Campground
Absolutely stunning views await you and your family at Encore Riverside. The resort features 500 sites open year-round and a welcoming pet policy. The campground does not offer tent camping, so if you’re looking for a more rustic feel, try one of the other alternatives on this list – but, if you’re seeking a relaxing, comfortable, home-away-from-home feel, Encore Riverside won’t let you down.
Plentiful, beautiful fishing spots, boat ramps, a hot tub, swimming pools, and many organized activities provide social opportunities for guests. The resort even features a dog park, so your pups will have the opportunity to make friends of their own, too!
Tips for Traveling and Camping with Pets
We encourage you to bring your pets along for your camping trip, but there are a few extra considerations to take into account when traveling with them.
- Regular breaks during long drives are important to allow your pets to stretch their legs and relieve themselves. You might even find that you prefer frequent breaks for the same reasons.
- Pack an emergency kit with extra water, pet food, first aid supplies, and blankets just in case the unexpected happens during your travels.
- Familiar items from home will help pets adjust to a new environment. A favorite dog bed, toys, and treats will make them feel more comfortable, and will make the transition easier on everyone in your group.
- Don’t forget restraints, like collars and leashes, to keep your pet safe and secure in areas where they are required.
- Be safe, have fun, and give your pet a pat on the head for us!
