Four Paws Kingdom Campground & Dog Retreat

My husband and I stayed in our camper with our four dogs. This was our fourth year camping at Four Paws and we'll be back. We love meeting folks that care about their dogs as much as we do. ❤️🐾. The people there are courteous and the camp ground is always clean. Our dogs enjoy it too.

Four Paws has become our go-to in the mountains of Western North Carolina! I have three very active Spanish water dogs, and they LOVE the huge beautiful pond for swimming and the lure course! This past trip was also a chance to introduce them to the agility field, which they really seemed to enjoy as well. They LOVE coming here. And as for the human amenities, the staff could not be more friendly or accommodating. There's a cute little pavilion with a food truck for a quick breakfast or lunch, seven dog parks, and the campsites themselves are absolutely gorgeous. I've stayed here many times and hope to come back for many more.

If your dogs are your kids, this is the place for you. We weren’t sure what to expect before coming, but it quickly became one of our favorite campgrounds. We’ll absolutely go out of our way to come back here.

Everything is designed with dogs in mind. Our goldens loved the dog pond—it’s fully fenced, has zero-entry spots, and is big enough for them to swim, chase other dogs, or just cool off in the water. They did get dirty (it’s natural water), but the joy on their faces made it completely worth it. Luckily, there’s a fantastic dog wash area with tubs of different heights, aprons, towels, brushes, and even drying tables with electric dryers outside. It honestly feels like a little dog spa.

The large dog park is another favorite: it’s big, wooded, partly shaded, and has plenty of benches, even a bench swing, so you can relax while the dogs play. We didn’t try the private parks, small dog area, ball field, or agility course, but they looked great and it’s nice they have so many options. The lure course was also a unique feature—perfect for dogs that love to chase.

On the weekends, the pavilion and food truck make it extra fun. Friday night there was a welcome bonfire with pup cups, and the food truck had specialty coffees, breakfast sandwiches, sodas, and creative hotdogs. They even had a “lick and paint” activity for the dogs, which gave us a cute keepsake from the trip. Prices were very reasonable for everything offered.

The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the other campers were social, which gave the whole place a nice community feel. Everything was spotless, from the public areas to the trash pickup right at your site. We stayed at site #17, which had a fully fenced yard. After two weeks of our dogs being tethered or in the RV, having that safe, enclosed space felt amazing for them and for us.

Rates are in line with other full hookup RV parks, but with all the extras here, it feels like a bargain. The rules are fair and really just there to keep the dogs and people safe, which we appreciated.

In short, this is a one-of-a-kind experience that makes your dogs’ vacation just as special as yours. We love it here and will definitely be back.

We were welcomed by Beverly who took us to our spot. It was a totally enclosed RV area so we could let our dog run around while we enjoyed sitting in the sun & reading right next to our RV. The dog parks were great & within walking distance. The electric, water & dump were easily attached and the grounds were well taken care of. The staff were helpful and friendly. We don't live far from the site but had never heard of it. Now that we have discovered the campground we hope to be coming alot more often, especially for our dog who was totally exhausted from all his running around and whined all the way home because he wanted to return.

We had such a fun weekend! All staff members are so friendly and helpful!
Penni met a Golden Retriever that taught her how to fetch balls from the middle of the pond (Thanks Parker!!).
She loved the lure coursing. Jordan was so sweet and patient with all the dogs, most of them had never done this before!
The grounds are very clean and the cabin we rented was also very clean and just cute! (We rented Bonnie).
The dog house food truck food was amazing 😀
We will definitely be going back to 4 Paws Kingdom!
