Camping With Your Pet

Camping with your pet can be a wonderful adventure for both you and your furry companion! To ensure a safe, clean, and enjoyable experience for all guests—two-legged and four-legged alike—please review and follow the pet policies below.

Pet Rules & Requirements

• All pets must have current rabies vaccinations.
  Proof of vaccination is required at registration and will be kept on file in accordance with State of Maine regulations.
• All approved pets must be leashed at all times.
  Leashes must be a straight-line leash no longer than 6 feet and may not extend beyond your campsite in any direction. No exceptions.
• Pets must be walked by an adult.
  For everyone's safety, children are not permitted to walk pets.
• Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets immediately.
  Please dispose of waste in the dumpster or designated Doggie Dump Stations. Do not leave waste in the woods or anywhere on the campground.
• Pets are not permitted on other guests' campsites at any time.
• Pets are NOT allowed in:
  • Any buildings (recreation hall, bathhouses, laundry room, or office)
  • Pool area
  • Playground
  • Other campsites (occupied or vacant)
• Pets may never be left unattended, anywhere on the campground — including inside trailers or RVs.
  Information on local boarding kennels or doggie daycare is available at the office.
• Do not feed pets that are not your own.
• Nuisance or aggressive pets (excessive barking, crying, aggressive behavior, etc.) that disturb other guests will not be tolerated and must be removed immediately at Management's request.

Helpful Tips for Camping with Your Pet

Water: Lazy Frog Campground has excellent drinking water; however, some pets may be sensitive to changes in water or food. You may wish to bring bottled water from home. Keep your pet well hydrated — extra panting and warm temperatures require extra water.

Food: Pre-portion daily meals in zip-top bags for each pet and store them in a secure, easy-to-access container.

Comfort Items: New sights and smells can be overwhelming. Bring familiar items from home such as favorite toys, bedding, or treats to help your pet feel comfortable.

Waste Supplies: Bring plenty of doggie bags. Pet waste breaks down slowly (unlike wildlife waste), and we all appreciate keeping the campground clean. We love dogs — but no one loves stepping in poop.

6-Foot Leash Reminder: Keeping your pet close helps ensure comfort and safety for both pets and guests. Long leads can pose risks for everyone.

ID Tags: Make sure your pet wears updated ID tags at all times. Include your current cell phone number, especially while traveling.

First Aid Preparedness: Pets can get injured just like people. Consider bringing a basic pet first aid kit, available at pet supply stores, or assemble your own before arrival.

Management reserves the right to refuse or remove any pet that does not comply with campground policies.
