Why this matters
Choosing an allowed option ensures a smoother check-in and a stress-free stay. If you love the convenience of a ready-to-go setup, the rental caravan or De Waard tents keep things simple while staying pet-friendly. Prefer to pitch your own tent or park your motorhome? Spacious camping pitches also welcome dogs.
How to book with your dog (step-by-step)
Booking with a pet is straightforward—just make sure you add your dog during the reservation process so your stay is registered correctly.
- Choose your dates and preferred accommodation (camping pitch, rental caravan, or De Waard tent).
- Add your pet by selecting the “Pet” option in the extras. This will show the current daily supplement.

Tip: If you plan to travel outside the main camping season, remember that chalet rentals (Eco-Lodges) operate year-round but do not accept pets. Pitches operate from April to October, making spring through early autumn ideal for dog-friendly camping.
On-site etiquette and safety for dogs
Camping Le Plô keeps things friendly and relaxed with a few simple rules that help everyone enjoy their holiday.
- Keep your dog on a lead at all times on the campsite.
- Clean up immediately after your pet and dispose of waste responsibly.
- Be considerate of neighbors—manage barking, especially in the early morning and evening.
- Mind shared spaces—give extra room around footpaths, water points, and play areas.
Practical safety pointers (good practice anywhere):
- Bring fresh water and a portable bowl to keep your dog hydrated on warm days.
- Offer shade and rest during peak heat; the campsite sits at 640 m altitude, but summer sun can still be strong.
- Check paws after walks on rocky terrain and brush out any debris.
- Carry a basic pet kit: spare lead, biodegradable bags, a towel, and any regular medication.
Exploring the Sidobre with your dog
The Sidobre is a granite wonderland of forests, boulder fields, and cool streams—a fantastic setting for dog-friendly walks. Most local hiking routes generally accept dogs, and a few sensible habits go a long way.
- Keep dogs leashed in sensitive areas and around livestock.
- Always read trailhead signage for any specific restrictions.
- Carry sufficient water, especially in summer.
- Ask at reception for favorite pet-friendly loops near landmarks like the Peyro Clabado rock.
If you’re looking to plan your outings before arrival, browse ideas in the To Visit section—starting with the Sidobre page—to match trail length and terrain to your dog’s energy levels.
Choosing the best pet-friendly stay type
Every dog—and every trip—is different. Here’s how the three pet-friendly options compare in practice.
Camping pitches
- Best for: Maximum flexibility and space.
- Why choose: Bring your own setup (tent, caravan, or motorhome) and settle into a green hillside environment with plenty of room for walks.
- Good to know: All pitches include 6 A electrical hook-ups, handy for small appliances.
Rental caravan
- Best for: Convenience without pitching a tent.
- Why choose: A ready-to-use rental with a classic camping feel—ideal if you want to travel light but keep your dog comfortably close by.
De Waard furnished tents
- Best for: An authentic camping experience with less gear to carry.
- Why choose: Spacious, sturdy tents that let you enjoy fresh-air living while staying dog-friendly.
Remember: Eco-Lodges (Manyara and VIP) do not accept pets. If you’re planning a winter visit and traveling with a dog, consider shifting your break to the April–October camping season so you can choose a pet-friendly pitch or rental.
Costs, check-in tips, and booking confidence
- Daily supplement: A small per-day surcharge applies for pets in allowed accommodations. Select the “Pet” option during booking to view the current rate.
- Check-in/out: Plan your arrival to fit reception hours, and allow a few extra minutes to confirm your pet details at check-in.
- Peace of mind: If you want cover for unexpected events, you can add optional cancellation insurance during booking.
What to pack for a smooth, dog-friendly stay
A short, practical packing list keeps your dog comfortable and campsite-ready.
- Secure lead and collar/harness (plus a spare)
- ID tag with your mobile number
- Water and food bowls; travel water bottle
- Enough food for the full stay (plus a little extra)
- Biodegradable waste bags
- Towel and a quick-dry mat or blanket
- Brush or grooming mitt
- Any regular medication
Optional comforts:
- Portable shade or a cooling mat for hot days
- Lightweight rain cover or dry bag for gear
Sample day: simple routines that work
- Morning: A calm, on-lead stroll before breakfast sets a relaxed tone (and helps avoid midday heat in summer).
- Midday: Rest in the shade, hydrate, and plan a shorter loop if temperatures climb.
- Late afternoon: Head out on a forested trail; keep your dog leashed near viewpoints and livestock.
- Evening: Back at your pitch or pet-friendly rental, give your dog dinner and a final lead walk before settling in.
