Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Clopton, AL

Blue Springs State Park Campground accommodates tent, RV, and cabin camping for visitors with pets. The campground maintains clean facilities with specific rules for pet owners while providing spacious sites for family gatherings. Pets must be leashed at all times throughout the park grounds, including the camping area and walking paths. Ozark-Fort Rucker KOA offers full hookup sites and a dedicated dog park area where pets can exercise off-leash. Most campgrounds in the area require pet vaccination records upon check-in and enforce a two-pet maximum per site. The springs area at Blue Springs provides shady spots where pets can cool off, though the water itself is extremely cold and may not be suitable for all dogs.

Lake Eufaula Campground provides waterfront sites where dogs can access the shoreline for swimming and play. Several campgrounds around Clopton feature gravel pull-through sites that accommodate both RVs and tent campers with pets. Hardridge Creek Campground offers beachfront sites with private stairways to the water, creating excellent opportunities for dog exercise and water activities. Pet owners should be aware of the regional ant problem at many campgrounds; preventative measures are strongly recommended to keep pets comfortable. The heavily wooded areas provide natural shade during summer months when temperatures can become dangerous for dogs. Local wildlife includes turkey and deer, so keeping pets secured prevents unwanted encounters. Most campgrounds maintain quiet hours starting at 10 PM, when barking must be controlled to respect other campers.

    Cotton Hill

    Large sites, most have shade, great camping

    The sites are well spaced, most are water front and easy access to water or have water view. They have full hookups!! Great Verizon and AT&T signals. Some sites are at the beach if you have kids. Took fishing boat, kayak and Ebike. Has two walking trails, playground, large dog park, fish cleaning station and huge beach. Bathrooms are very clean and large and hot water in the wintertime and placed throughout the park. Also a nice laundry facility.Camp hosts were nice and helpful. Had full moon while here and the nice time was beautiful as well as fabulous sunrises and sunsets. Our two golden retrievers loved it. It is south of the nat line but no bugs or misquotes in January! We will be back.

    COE Walter F George Lake White Oak Creek Campground

    Beautiful campground with great sites

    Stayed December 2019 for a long weekend. The sites are all very nice with fire ring, lantern pole, picnic table, small counter height table, and concrete pad for your camper or tents. Ample additional parking available. Bathrooms were well maintained. We stayed in the Oakwood loop. River Chase loop has the best playground. Staff were very friendly. Several dump stations as well as a dog park. Would like some more hiking trails.

    Providence Canyon State Park Campground

    Breathtakingly Beautiful

    Wow. This park is phenomenal! It is so beautiful. The canyons are breathtaking and the staff is so helpful and friendly!

    Pets are welcomed and many people had theirs. So if your pet doesn’t like crowds or other pets it would be best to leave them home. Also it’s a decent walk very steep and at times strenuous so elderly people or pets may want to stay at the top. (We slipped multiple times going down.)

    Make sure you take a cash to get in the gate or you will have to go to the visitor center.

    We plan to go back and camp but I believe you have to hike to the camp sites.

    Deer Run RV Park

    Good Overnighter or Short Stay Option

    This review is based on a short-term stay versus a destination campground(CG). We traveled into the CG on the US highways following our RV GPS from FL with no issues getting to this CG. Check-in was very easy, and we were guided to our online reservation first choice, end site 19. Our check-in person was concerned we might not like pulling through site 19. He was correct, as this site was too short and had an incline at the unhitch point. We proceeded to the newer area, where we were given the choice of pull-through sites 97& 98, which were both FHUs and flat. We chose 98, which was fairly level and plenty long enough for our 5th wheel and F450. The sites in this CG are close to each other. There were no trees so that we could have put out our satellite, but there was no need due to the great cable selection. We got 3 bars on Verizon and used our MifI for what little internet we needed. We tried but could not connect to the CG's WiFi. They have very good water pressure, so we used a reducer. Where we were in the back of the CG, we could still hear the highway. There was no formal dog park, but plenty of areas to walk your dog. This is an older park with many permanent and seasonal residents. We were impressed that, for the most part, there was not that“trailer trash” look, and the residents were friendly. There are newer water and electric sites in the 100s area in front of where we were. There’s a shower house and laundry, but we did not use these facilities. This CG is a good short-stay option.

    COE Walter F George Lake White Oak Creek Campground

    Seasonal five-star rating!

    My seasonal five-star rating is based on being here in the offseason. There is just something about having a campsite right on the water that is so peaceful. However, in the summer, I would imagine the water would be clogged with boats zooming around, and we would not find it so peaceful or enjoyable (but many others would). 

    There are four sections to this 130-site campground: Mallard Point, Oakwood, Creek View, and River Chase. The only sites that are reservable are in the Oakwood and Creek View Sections. Only Mallard Point and Oakwood were open when we were there; I’m not sure if it was because of flooding or just low occupancy. Based on Elaine H’s review, we had reserved Site 50 in the Oakwood section for two nights and we were not disappointed. We were right on the water, which gave us a little concern after the host said the water was expected to rise (some of the sites had some water) but we didn’t have a problem. Not much separation/privacy between sites but most people were in RVs (didn’t see any tents). Each site has a large picnic table, fire ring, lantern hook, and food prep table. 

    Bathrooms were very clean AND heated, which was nice as the temperatures dipped below freezing at the end of February. Each section has laundry facilities ($1.50 each for wash/dry) The map showed two dump stations, one at the very end of the campground and one located in the Oakwood section but again, only the one in Oakwood was open when we were there. Sadly, no recycling. 

    There are two very short nature trails but no other hiking trails. There is a fenced-in dog park. If you are not a boater, there is not much to do but again, it was very peaceful at the end of February.

    Providence Canyon State Park Campground

    Mini Grand Canyon

    Definitely worth a pit stop! We didn’t camp but we hiked around the rim it was really neat to see, the Canyon was formed from poor farming techniques! There were also a bunch of cats! We stopped here on the way back from Pine Mountain, GA

    COE Walter F George Lake White Oak Creek Campground

    Bring your netting

    White Oak Creek Campground, is in Alabama.....I obviously missed the State Sign when I crossed the border;)

    This was a quiet, low populated area when we traveled through. I should say low people populated, the bug population was booming! Gnats and mosquitoes, I can see why the frog population is so high.

    The lake had several signs denoting the presence of alligators. I didn’t see any, but there in lies the problem! I’ve seen to many National Geographic shows where the unsuspecting gnu gets grabbed while try to quench its thirst. So my dogs were not happy with me because they were not permitted in the water. There were people in the beach area and their kids were playing in the water. There were plenty of people out fishing too.

    The campground was shaded and I liked the double spots available for people traveling together. Some sites definitely had more privacy then others. When you don’t reserve ahead you get what’s left if anything. The facilities were not new but they were clean and the park was well maintained. This would be a water recreation style camping trip but you could walk or bike the road.

    Deer Run RV Park

    Beautiful Grounds

    I have stayed there on several occasions traveling with a fifth wheel camper. It's a very pretty and peaceful place. There is a small pond that you can fish in or if no one is fishing and you have a dog that loves water, they can go for a swim. It has lots for all types of campers and RV's. Its kept up very well and stays clean. If I remember correctly they have a shower room and a laundromat. Just a short distance from Troy, Alabama. All the staff are great people and as long as you follow their park rules the staff is delightful.
