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.
