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 Ohio 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 Clay's Resort Jellystone Park™, 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!

Leash, collar, and ID tags
