We stayed at 4 Paws Kingdom many years ago. It was a great place that had many amenities for our furry companion. We rented a fenced in spot for her. She made many new friends while there at the doggy Park. I would highly recommend this place if you are in the Rutherfordton NC area. You will not regret going there.
Thank you, Gail! I wonder how distant from us this campground is? I will research that and their rates. Meanwhile, have a great day and safe travels!
