| Camp Hook/Directions |
"Camp Hook" offers an active, social atmosphere in a safe and comfortable country setting!
Each roomy outdoor kennel has smooth river rock footing, a wooden deck, and a well-ventilated dogloo filled with cedar shavings. Each kennel is shaded either by trees or shadecloth. The kennels are in a large, fenced doglot which is within view (and earshot) of our kitchen window.
Every "camper" has ample daily playtime out of his kennel with compatible dogs, under our watchful eyes. For dogs that don't play well with others, we humans provide the entertainment. There are toys galore, and a large wading pool for warm weather. We've just added a baby pool for vertically challenged dogs.
We have only 12 kennels open for campers, so each dog is able to enjoy a very personal experience!
Hours of Operation:
9am-5pm for drop offs and pick ups, unless special arrangements have been made.
We are closed for drop offs and pick ups on these days:

Directions:
The new 64 bypass off the Beltline cuts over 15 minutes from the Raleigh drive! Now that the 540 connection is finished, it will cut the driving time from Durham in half!
Directions to Camp Hook:
▪From Raleigh, take the beltline (440) to the new bypass, Hwy 64/264 E/Rocky Mount. It will completely bypass Knightdale and all those traffic lights! Ride that bad boy all the way out and it becomes Hwy 64 E.
▪Go past the Wendell exits, and then past the Zebulon exit.
▪The next exit after Zebulon is Five County Stadium/Wilson 264 E. Take this exit.
▪The second exit off 264 E. is Selma-Louisburg/264Alt./Hwy 39. Take this exit and turn right off the ramp--Hwy 39 S. Five County Stadium (our famous Mudcats) will be on your right.
▪Go 2.9 miles, which will bring you to Dean’s Grocery Store on your right, at Earpsboro Rd. (The road sign is usually lying on the ground.) There’s a flashing yellow light at the intersection, which makes it impossible to miss! Don't turn right. Turn LEFT and go 1.5 miles to our driveway.
Landmarks:
There will be a bridge over a creek with a big millpond on your left. There is a little store there on the left.
When you cross the bridge you will be in Nash County, and Earpsboro Rd. becomes Taylors Mill Rd. Also known as NC 1120 on some maps. Nope, not a sign anywhere.
Not counting the country store at the bridge, we will be the 4th house on the left. There are no houses on the right, so that's easy enough.
There is a yellow D.O.T. sign directly across from our driveway—an intersection symbol with 45 mph under it. No, wait--at the moment, that's lying on the ground, too.
Our driveway is grass, so people get confused with the next driveway, which is gravel, but which isn't the one we use—it goes to the old pig barns on the back of the property.
The house number, on the mailbox, is 14934.
If you get to Driver Road, or a herd of goats on the right, or a curve in the road, you have gone a little too far and missed the driveway. Come on back, and listen for the dogs barking--our alarm system!
If you get lost, you’re on your own—I’m outside playing with dogs. That’s what you pay me for. But if you go back to Dean’s he’ll tell you you’re on the right road.
Be safe! See you soon!

Greeting old friends at camp!
Wow! This kid is getting stronger!
For some dogs, it is not all play...they are here to learn some manners. Then we call it "Boot Camp".

With only 12 kennels, we fill up quickly in spring and summer and on holidays--call early to reserve your camper's place!
