55We had an absolute blast at Captain’s Retreat. We spent our time exploring the well maintained trails, splashing in the mud & playing with the big soccer ball. The puppy wash station is such a thoughtful idea & the hammocks toward the back of the property were lovely. We had such a fun morning here! Carly S.

55We had a great time today just walking around the property. We also used the bathtub to rinse off paws once we were done. We also played with some of the toys in the box and just had a great time off-leash. Leah R.

55Another perfect playtime at Captain's Retreat at Bear Creek! As usual, bug spray was needed and thoughtfully provided as I'd forgotten mine today!
The dogs really love the opportunity to really get INTO the woods instead of just running around in a field or yard. The wooded area of this Spot meets all their exploration needs.
The MUD holes were amazing today! My Labrador is a super fan of mud puddles, so while this may not be everyone's favorite, Xenakis give all paws-up for mud puddle fun.
The best part is that I can easily spray them off before loading them back into the (super safely parked) car.
All in all, this place has quickly become a go-to for days when I need to tire them mentally and physically.

55Went here with just me and my mini me terrier and she was instantly in love. I laid back in the hammock and read while she was running the entire property. As soon as we got back in the car she started her nap she was so worn out. Will be back on a consistent bases!! Kelsey S.

55Cathy always goes the extra mile for her visitors, two legged and four!
She helped a super special shelter dog meet her forever family (and their other four legged family member) and it made all the difference. I’m convinced the perfect meeting space helped seal the deal on the adoption.
Thank you Cathy for all that you do to support our shelter dogs, and for sharing your haven with them all. ❤️Tracy F.

55While our meet and greet did not result in an adoption, I was impressed with the facility and especially with the owner. She could not possibly have done anything else to make our visit successful. She has thought of everything!

55Our dog has enjoyed every visit here! This time we booked the bonfire and s’mores extra and it was wonderful! The bonfire was already going when we arrived and Cathy had hose and fire extinguisher ready just in case. There were more than enough s’mores supplies as well! Winnie loved running around and playing with the nerf ball gun, and thanks to the light for his collar we had extra peace of mind letting him continue to run around once the sun set. Cristin N.

55This is a wonderful place for dogs and their humans. Toys and treats are plentiful, and the host has included so many thoughtful details to make the experience incredible for all. The photo backdrop, picnic bench, and comfortable seating are welcoming and adorable, and this spot has everything you can imagine for a fun day with your pet. The kiddie pool, large field, and huge area to run, dig, and play fetch are a dog's dream come true, and we will definitely be back!Carrie W.

55This place is amazing and Cathy is such a delight to talk to. Both my pup Enzo and I thoroughly enjoyed being out here. There was a treat bag with a Christmas Bandana for Enzo and a very thoughtful card written for me at the entrance. Cathy had also left Enzo a pup cup at the dog house! The playground is so neatly maintained. Enjoyed every bit of our first visit here. We’ll definitely be back more often! Sindhoora K.

FAQ about our Yadkinville dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Yadkinville area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 123 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 20 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
