Ruffwear x Hipcamp: The Best Campsites for Hiking With Your Dog

If exploring countryside trails and cozying up by a campfire with your dog sounds like your idea of a perfect weekend, you’re in the right place. Few things rival the joy of hiking with your dog — the shared sense of curiosity, freedom, and unspoken bond as you explore the great outdoors together.

That’s why Ruffwear and Hipcamp have teamed up to spotlight some of the best dog-friendly campsites across the UK. These spots are perfect for dogs and humans who love to hike, bike, and run together, offering access to stunning trails and plenty of room to roam.

Deerstone Glamping — Barnoldswick, Lancashire, England

Nestled at the edge of the Forest of Bowland, Deerstone Glamping puts wild trails and open skies at your doorstep. Hike right from camp into the moorlands, then retreat to a cosy, dome-shaped glamping pod complete with fire pits and sweeping valley views. Campers enjoy proper bedding, patterned rugs, and pastel-colored picnicware, perfect for that Instagrammable moment. 

Tipis at Ponty, Greener Camping — Llansantffraid, Powys, Wales

Tipis at Ponty is a peaceful base for hiking local footpaths, trail running through meadows and woodland, or cycling along quiet rural roads. Your dog will love splashing in streams and sniffing the lush surroundings. This eco-conscious site features furnished tipis, private fire pits, compost toilets, and hot showers.

Cowpots Camping — Ciffig, Carmarthenshire, Wales

Surrounded by rolling farmland and just a short drive from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Cowpots Camping is ideal for rural hiking and endless roaming. This dog-friendly campsite includes spacious pitches with fire bowls, wood-fired pizza nights, and even artisan ice cream from the family dairy farm. If you’re looking for more sweet treats after a long day on the trails, snag some logs and marshmallows at the honesty store on your way back to camp and settle in for sunsets and s’mores.

Secret Spot Camping Saunton — Braunton, Devon, England

A short distance from the South West Coast Path and Saunton Sands beach, Secret Spot is a laid-back campsite perfect for beach strolls, scenic hikes, or surfing with your pup nearby. The site itself offers peaceful, off-grid camping with compost loos, hot showers, and grassy pitches — plus access to surfboard rentals and yoga sessions for active recovery. 

Butt Farm — East Yorkshire, East Riding Of Yorkshire, England

Explore dog-friendly walking and running routes starting directly from camp or venture into the Yorkshire Wolds for more serious hikes and bike rides. Butt Farm provides roomy pitches, pristine facilities, and thoughtful amenities like a dog wash for muddy paws. It’s the perfect mix of countryside calm and trail-ready adventure. 

Essential Hiking Gear For Dogs

Before you set up camp, make sure you’ve got the right gear for both you and your dog. A well-prepared pup means a more enjoyable adventure, whether you’re trekking coastal trails, forest paths, or rolling countryside.

The Front Range™ Day Pack is perfect for day hikes in the Lakes or rambles through the Wolds, letting your dog carry their trail essentials like treats, water, and pick-up bags. Its integrated harness design offers all-day comfort and stability, with radial cut saddlebags that stay balanced as your dog moves.

Designed for freedom on the trail, the Roamer™ Bungee Dog Leash has a stretch-webbing core that absorbs pulling and allows for a natural pace. It can be hand-held or worn around your waist for hands-free exploring — ideal for active outings across the UK’s diverse terrain. 

For humans looking for convenient access to pick-up bags, the Stash Bag™ Mini Pickup Bag Dispenser clips right to your dog’s leash and keeps essentials within reach. It holds a roll of pick-up bags, keys, and a few small extras. No more fumbling at the trailhead or rummaging through your rucksack. 

With the right gear in hand and your perfect spot picked out, all that’s left to do is hit the trail and go.
