Cost Benefits of Bringing Your Pet Camping

Let’s face it—boarding your pet or hiring a pet sitter can seriously eat into your vacation budget. But when you bring your furry family member along for the adventure, you’re not only making memories—you’re also saving money! Pet friendly camping in New York helps your wallet by ensuring no expensive boarding fees. With a pet-friendly cabin or RV site, the money spent to keep them somewhere else stays in your wallet! Also, it allows for no pet-sitting stress, saves money, and avoids the guilt of leaving your pup behind by skipping the sitter altogether. Plus at Jellystone Park™ Gardiner, we’ve got dog-friendly amenities like our Bark Park, meaning you don’t have to spend extra on outings or pet activities. Camping with your pet gives you all the joy of traveling together—without the extra cost. More treats for them, more ice cream for you. It’s a win-win!

Pup-Approved Packing List

When camping with your pet, it can be easy to forget to pack some of their necessities. Here’s a checklist to make sure your pet has everything they need for a tail-wagging good time:

• Favorite toys for comfort (and distraction!)

• Crate (necessary if cabin camping!)

• Leash, collar, and ID tags

• Portable bed or blanket for cozy sleeps

• Treats and travel food bowls

• Plenty of water & a spill-proof bowl

• Pet-safe bug spray

• Waste bags (because you're a responsible camper!)

• Harness for hikes or adventures

• Towels for muddy paws or a lake dip

• Vaccination records (just in case!)

Bonus tip: Freeze a few treats or use a snuffle mat to keep your pup entertained during downtime.
