Open-Play Boarding vs. Traditional Kennels
Traditional kennel-style boarding often means dogs spend the bulk of their day in a run or crate, with limited interaction outside of scheduled walks. That works for some dogs, but it isn’t what we do at Camp Bow Wow Charleston.
Boarding Campers at our Charleston facility participate in all-day open play rather than isolated kennel time. Our Certified Camp Counselors® group dogs by size, temperament, and activity level to support appropriate play. This structure combines supervised socialization and activity during the day with overnight rest in a private Cabin.
When the day winds down, every Camper retires to a private Cabin with a cot, a fleece blanket, and a Campfire Treat™ before lights out. A full day of play followed by a quiet, comfortable Cabin makes overnight dog boarding at Camp Bow Wow a different category from standard kennels.

Camp Bow Wow requires all boarding dogs to be up to date on their DHPP vaccine to keep them healthy and able to play safely with other dogs. It’s recommended that the Leptospirosis vaccine also be included annually, as it’s more common, can be deadly to dogs, and can spread to humans.
The DHPP vaccine protects against four serious and highly contagious diseases: Distemper, Hepatitis (Adenovirus), Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus. These illnesses can affect a dog’s respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems, and can spread quickly between dogs, making vaccination important.
Puppies start the DHPP series at 6–8 weeks old, with two boosters given at 3-week intervals, followed by a third booster a year later. Adult dogs receive booster shots as recommended by their veterinarian, with the Distemper and Parvovirus portion typically given every 1–3 years.
In addition to the DHPP vaccine, the Rabies and Bordetella vaccines are also required for all boarding dogs at all our locations. For more information on our vaccine requirements for dog boarding, contact your local Camp Bow Wow.
How to Reserve Overnight Dog Boarding in Charleston
Getting started is straightforward. New Campers begin with the Camper Interview, a temperament and vaccination check that confirms your dog is ready for the open-play environment. It’s a one-time step that sets up every future reservation.
Once your dog has passed the Camper Interview, booking a stay is straightforward. Reserve online at our reservation page or call (843) 825-1673 to speak with our team directly. During any boarding stay, you can check in on your dog via live webcams accessible from any computer or mobile device.
