Moose River Campground – St. Johnsbury, VT
(8 visitors have rated this campground.)
Loading ...Here are the good things about Moose River Campground – the campground owners are very nice people and the campground is right on the river… very pretty. Site 23 is the best in the place but there are a lot of other sites right on the river that are very nice as well.
Here are the bad things – this campground advertises on their website that they are pet-friendly, but when you arrive, you get an entire page of rules for your dog. The first night we were there, we were sitting at our campsite with our dogs on leashes and another dog came walking by and stopped right near our campsite, one of our dogs barked about 6-8 times and the other about three times. One of the campground owners immediately came over and told us “barking is unacceptable”. This happened at 6:00 p.m., not during quit time. So, if your dog is inclined to communicate with other dogs, then this campground might not be for you. Also, you cannot leave your dog(s) in the camper, you have to take them with you if you leave in the car.

Wow, I was there and if I am correct, these dogs barked a lot. No matter when they walked in the campground, the dogs barked when they had seen another dog or person. This campground has dogs on almost every site, being pet friendly, and there were other dogs that barked a little, but these two dogs barked every time they went out for a walk. My dogs were even on the deck and received treats and I think this is a VERY pet friendly campground. Who wants to hear dogs barking and I for one believe in a campground full of dogs, you don’t really want one barking. It could start them all barking.
I was there 4 days with my dogs, and on my first night, the dogs on site 23 were barking a lot, then around 8:00 pm on Friday night, they finally quieted down. Must be when the owners told them to keep the dogs quiet. It wasn’t at 6:00. But they still were noisy during the weekend. I also received the page on dog rules and they were funny, and no different than any other campground, pick up after them, on a leash, no barking, and where the treats are! If you don’t like the rules on dogs, keep them home. The campground is #1 with us and our dogs!

Our dogs did not bark a lot and yes, it was at 6:00 p.m. that the campground owner came over and told us barking was not acceptable. You are right, on the first night our dogs barked for the first time at another dog and we were talked to by the campground owner. Not too pet friendly as far as I am concerned. I could see if they were barking constantly, but that was not the case. Most campgrounds have “no excessive barking” as a dog rule, not no barking at all……ridiculous!
