Sweden has an extensive network of campsites, from large lakeside and coastal resort-style grounds to smaller forest and archipelago sites geared toward hiking, canoeing and fishing. Most accept dogs as a matter of course, though — as with hotels and stugor — policy, fees and any restrictions are set by each site individually rather than by one national camping body.

A lead rule within the site itself is close to universal for the same reasons it applies anywhere: shared pitches, children, and other guests' dogs in close proximity. Many sites also expect waste cleaned up immediately and may cap the number of dogs per pitch. Outside the campsite boundary, the seasonal leash rule under allemansrätten, covered in the Activities section, generally takes over.

Forest and archipelago sites away from the biggest lakeside resorts tend to be the most relaxed about dogs and offer the most direct access to trails and swimming spots straight from the pitch — a natural fit if the trip is built around hiking or canoeing rather than a resort-style stay.
