About Us

Camp Bow Wow Lacey / Forked River
Doggy Daycare and Overnight Boarding Facility

Camp Bow Wow Lacey is Ocean County's first and only Premiere Doggy Day Care and Overnight Boarding Facility. We believe in "Play all day and snooze the night away!" Camp Bow Wow Lacey features:

Over 7,000 square feet of Camp
2000 square feet of climate controlled indoor play areas
1500 square feet of doggy-proof outdoor play areas
Individual cozy cabins for our campers.

Dogs play in play areas with other campers having the same activity level. Our campers can choose to play indoors or out and are never out of view of a Camp Counselor! At Camp Bow Wow, day campers have their own cabins for meal times and nap times. When not eating or napping, they are playing! Our overnight campers play all day then get tucked into their own cozy cot in their own cabin with a special campfire treat at bedtime. Of course sibling campers can share a cabin, and blankies from home are welcome too! (We won't tell the other campers!)

Becoming a Camper

Before making reservations, all Dogs must first pass a complimentary interview day at Camp. Interviews are scheduled Monday through Friday. (Saturdays May-December) Please call to schedule your Camper's interview.

We require all Campers to be current on their Rabies & Distemper vaccines. We also require the Bordetella vaccine EVERY 6 MONTHS. We ask all Campers to wait at least ONE WEEK after being vaccinated to come to Camp.

IF YOUR CAMPER HAS NOT HAD AN INTERVIEW PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETE THE ONLINE RESERVATION REQUEST. PLEASE CALL US TO SCHEDULE THEIR FREE INTERVIEW DAY FIRST. THANK YOU!

We are looking forward to your furry friends joining us for some great camp games, campfire stories, and even some special campfire treats. Yummy!

Camp Bow Wow® - Premier Doggy Day and Overnight Camp®

Our Canine Campers spend all day at Day Camp, from early in the morning to late in the evening, romping and playing indoors and outdoors with lots of attention from our well-trained certified Camper Care Specialists and Certified Camp Counselors®. Overnight campers even get special "campfire" treats each night before lights out, when they are tucked into their own spacious, clean Camp Bow Wow® cabin. Each cabin includes a comfy bed with a fleece blanket to curl up on in a climate controlled atmosphere. Campers from the same household can even stay together in the same cabin. In addition, Camp Web Cam monitoring and professional security systems make sure all our Campers are happy and safe!

We serve our Campers their own food during their stay to avoid upset tummies, and special requests for your Camper, from medicines, extra treats, or special care for older pups and other requirements are no problem here – AT NO EXTRA COST!

We strive to make Camp Bow Wow as clean and safe as possible for all of our Campers! They must be neutered or spayed, current on Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella (for Canine Cough). They must socialize well with other dogs, and be in good overall health. Please see our Camper Policies for more detailed information.

The Camp concept provides the highest levels of fun, safety and service for our Campers, and peace of mind for their parents. Since we started franchising in 2003, we have grown to over 100 Camps and 75 Home Buddies franchise territories nationwide, plus one in Canada. As Camp Bow Wow grows, our simple philosophy remains the same: It's all about the dogs.
