Pet-friendly places to stay overnight

There are so many wonderful places to sniff and scamper in Canada’s eastern-most park. From hiking the boreal forest to exploring the ponds and bogs of Newfoundland’s Terra Nova, there’s plenty for you and your pup to enjoy. Sleep soundly in one of our five pet-friendly oTENTik units, the perfect mix of a tent and A-frame cabin, for a hassle-free trip for the entire family.

From waterfalls to drumlin hills, you’ll find wild beauty wherever you look on the trails in this Atlantic Canada gem. Just make sure your pup is on-leash as there are many rare species of reptiles and amphibians in the park and off-leash dogs can easily disturb breeding grounds. After a full day’s adventures, there are plenty of pet-friendly overnight options, from front country camping, to snuggling up in a yurt, rustic cabin or oTENTik.

You and your dog will love a long on-leash walk along Callanders Beach, exploring tidal rock pools and maybe a spot of soft-shell clam fishing too—permit required. After hiking through forests and salt marshes, you’ve earned your rest, but try and stay up to watch the stars twinkle in this peaceful Dark Sky Preserve. oTENTik units #o44, #o60, #o71, #o74 and #o75 are pet-friendly, so make a reservation for a night or two along the scenic Acadian Coast.

Get a front-row seat to the spectacle of the sea, beaches and cliffs where seabirds, whales and seals are in the spotlight. Embark on the Les Graves trail along the Gaspé Bay and don’t miss the last section of the trail that leads into cliffs to the famous end of the world… To end the show, treat yourself to a camping adventure or the more luxurious experience of staying the night in an oTENTik tent. Your pet is welcome at all campgrounds as well as in the F-7 oTENTik tent in the Petit-Gaspé campground, and B-7 in the Des-Rosiers campground.

Make a reservation for pet-friendly oTENTik units 3B or 3E at Mallorytown Landing on the banks of the St. Lawrence River and start planning an amazing all-day on-leash adventure.

Then set sail on an island adventure and stay at one of 61 pet-friendly campsites across the park’s 20 islands.

Make it a historic mini-break with your furry best friend at the Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage Site and watch that tail wag on a walk along the canal path. There are twenty-four lock stations along the way and if you’re in a tent or RV, pups are welcome. Upgrade your experience and pamper that pooch by making a reservation for a night in one of our historic cottages— both the luxurious lockmaster house and the cozy canalman’s cottage are pet-friendly.

Oh, those endless prairie skies, spectacular by day and truly dazzling at night studded with twinkling stars. Stride out and explore the trails overlooking the Frenchman River Valley on an on-leash hike. Check the pet-friendly box when you make a reservation at one of our oTENTik units in the East and West Blocks or take your pick from our all-pet-friendly campsites.

Woof! Perfect for dogs who love to splash and swim, your pup is welcome to enjoy a dip at most of the beaches here. Scamper out on-leash and explore the trails through remote forest meadows and along the shoreline of the lakes, before curling up together in your tent as the stars come out. All five of the park’s front-country, vehicle-accessible campgrounds and 15 backcountry campgrounds are pet-friendly, so make a reservation on our booking site to pick your prime spot.

You, your pet and Canada’s largest Rocky Mountain Park? Looks like the perfect match! Head out on a pet-friendly camping adventure. Whether it’s tenting under forest canopy or keeping it cozy in your RV, tail thumping good times are guaranteed in one of our many campgrounds. Most trails in Jasper National Park that do not enter into Caribou habitat are dog friendly, which means you and your furry friend can go almost anywhere you want! Remember to keep your pet on a leash and be aware of other trail users and wildlife.

Have fun explaining the midnight sun to your furry pal when you visit this land of wonders.
