Pack your gear and bring your pup for a fun camping weekend designed just for dogs and their people.
Here’s what’s waiting for you and your four-legged camper:
Paddle board outing with your pup
Dog parkour session
AKC Fit Dog hike
Glow-in-the-dark pup parade
Campground obedience sessions
Fun Scent work Searches
So three fun activities per day leaving lots of time to relax or find your own adventure!
Exclusive Patch Pack badge earned for attending
Whether you want to dive into every activity or simply relax and soak up the great outdoors, you’ll find the perfect balance of fun and downtime. This is your chance to connect, adventure, and create lifelong memories with your dog in a supportive, dog-focused community. Come for a day if your not quite ready to rough it!
Come camp, play, and explore with us — you’ll leave with tired dogs, happy hearts, and a brand-new patch to celebrate the experience and lots of photos. The campground can accommodate however many of us want to attend but I encourage booking sometime this year! Posting early so you can put it in your calendars!
If anyone wants to squeeze a weekend getaway before the winter season this year just reach out and we will get one planned! We have a few weekend options available!
Make your reservation for camping via rock island state park website!
I went ahead and reserved Friday the 10th-Monday the 13th for myself so I could have two full days of activities over the weekend, since check in is 4pm and check out is 12:00pm but you guys do whatever works best for you!
Pay per activity! Sliding scale price based on number of participants so invite your friends!
