Welcome to our our events calendar for the 6th Season of
the first and (still) the only dog dedicated campground in the US!
Season starts on Friday April 3, 2009
Season ends on Sunday December 13, 2009
(weather permitting)
We are
closing for the Dog Days of Summer:
Monday August 10th till Wednesday August 26, 2009
Every weekend there is something new to see and experience at
Four Paws Kingdom.
If you haven't stayed with us yet, here's a short description of event terms:
Potlucks
Many evenings are dedicated to our special "potluck
dinners".
If you would like to participate, please bring a dish to share as
well as your own place settings and drinks.
Homemade is great, but
WalMart, Food Lion, Chilis, Pizza Hut, KFC, deli salads, bakery
desserts, etc., work also. The important thing is to enjoy the
company of
your two and four-legged fellow camper friends. Please bring your
own table settings and drinks. Catered
Themed Dinners
You've asked for it, we'll provide it, themed
catered events and mouthwatering food,
gallons of ice-tea and scrumptious desserts. All masterfully
prepared by our own resident chef for a reasonable fee. Art
and Craft Projects
We have added "fun-to-do" arts and craft
events to our schedule.
Please let us know on your reservation if you are interested so we
can prepare accordingly.
