"Camp Hook" offers an active, social atmosphere in a safe and comfortable country setting!
Each roomy outdoor kennel has smooth river rock or mulch 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 15 kennels open for campers, so each dog is able to enjoy a very personal experience!
A lifeguard is always on duty to make sure everyone has a good, safe time at Camp!
These pictures were taken in the warmer, greener months--you know it doesn't look like this in the dead of winter--does your yard?
Don't worry about your dogs getting too cold--I won't let that happen. The dogloos are stuffed with hay in the winter, and they make themselves a snug nest.
A dog makes it very clear when he's uncomfortable!
I keep 20 crates, mostly very large, set up in my barn, complete with blankets and comforters. When the nighttime temperatures dip too low, the dogs have a slumber party in the barn.
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:
New Year's Day
Easter Sunday
July 4th
Thanksgiving
Christmas Eve after 12pm
Christmas Day
Rates:
The fee is $20 per day, per dog, counting from the day your "camper" arrives and including the day he is picked up. The reduced rate for 3 dogs is $50/day for all 3.
Please pay for the days you reserve, even if you pick your dog up early--I have had to tell another dog's owner the kennel was taken.
We do NOT charge extra to administer medications, vitamins, treats or kind words!
Current shots and kennel cough vaccine required.
Bring your dog's food in a covered container to discourage critters from thinking this is Golden Corral.
We accept cash and checks. Sorry, no credit cards.
Directions:
The 64 bypass off the Beltline cuts over 15 minutes from the Raleigh drive. Now that the 540 connection is finished, it cuts 20 minutes off the driving time from Durham. The world keeps getting smaller!
Directions to Camp Hook:
Directions 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 and it spits you out on 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 Shop-N-Go (a.k.a. "Stop-N-Rob") 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, Tippett's.
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 35 mph under it. Sometimes 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 ours—it goes to the old pig barns on the back of the property. You don't want to go there.
The house number, on the mailbox, is 14934.
If you get to Driver Road, or a herd of black cows on the right, or a curve and a hill 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 the little store at the pond, they’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".
Check out the Boot Camp page!
With only 15 kennels, we fill up quickly in spring and summer and on holidays--call early to reserve your camper's place!
