Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Wenden, AZ

493 Reviews

Salome KOA and Desert Vista RV Resort provide designated pet areas for travelers camping with dogs near Wenden, Arizona. Both established campgrounds maintain pet-friendly policies throughout their properties, allowing animals in tent sites and RV spaces with standard leash requirements. The spots at Salome KOA are massive with plenty of space for pets to settle in, according to regular visitors. Very well maintained grounds with clean facilities make this location popular with pet owners seeking desert camping experiences. ['Several sites near Wenden, Arizona are featured on The Dyrt.'] Vicksburg Pit Road BLM offers free dispersed camping for those preferring a more natural setting with pets, featuring open flat areas with trees and bushes allowing privacy while still accommodating dogs.

Eagle Eye Road BLM dispersed camping areas provide additional pet-friendly options between Highway 60 and Highway 10, with beautiful desert terrain suitable for hiking with dogs. Many spots include established fire rings and wide-open spaces where pets can explore under supervision. Centennial Park County features pull-through sites with water and electricity for $20 nightly, providing an economical option for pet owners with convenient access to hiking trails around the park. The area offers multiple spots for walking dogs, with some properties providing dedicated space for pet exercise. Most campgrounds in the region require pets to remain on leash due to wildlife concerns, with coyotes occasionally heard in the surrounding desert areas. The free BLM lands allow greater freedom but require pet owners to pack out waste and bring sufficient water for themselves and their animals.

    River Island State Park Campground

    Nice family spot.

    Lots of flying bugs 30 min before and after sunrise and set but they all go away. Not many camping spots but close to water and clean restroom with hot showers. Boat launch, lots of RV parking dog friendly with a dog park. Get good water shoes or your feet will be cut up from river rocks that are everywhere. Close tent camping so if you hate people walking through or around this is not ideal for you.

    River Island State Park Campground

    One of the best State Parks

    River Island is one of the nicest state parks I have been to.  All of the facilities are extremely well kept with immaculate bathrooms and an awesome dog park!  There is a boat launch and an area where ever the dogs can cool off in the lake.  In addition to enjoying the lake, there is an MTB Trail system just outside of Havasu City (20 Miles) with a good mix of riding.

    River Island State Park Campground

    Great little place on the River!

    We did a Friday-Monday extended weekend here. Great place, friendly staff, dog park and a short walk to the beach / cove area. We weren’t too fond of the 120° we experienced on our stay, but the cool water kept us all comfortable. We stayed in spot 12 and had no complaints it suited us perfectly!

    Buckskin Mountain State Park Campground

    Another great State Park

    Buckskin is another favorite if you don’t mind the heat but want to be within walking distance to the water. The river is extremely busy during the summer months. You can swim close to shore but can’t swim across the river as you’ll get ran over. Great beach areas to beach boats and play in the water for the kids. We stayed in 57 which was close to the dump station but wasn’t busy until Sunday at check out time. There is a dog park on site. Cell phone service is terrible. (Verizon). The resturant and store recently closed. As well as the gas station. We heard that on the California side there was a newer site opening and an arcade but never checked it out.

    Buckskin Mountain State Park Campground

    Beautiful setting on the grassy shores of the Colorado river.

    We had a large shady site with river views.  It is a beautifully kept campground. Our dogs enjoyed the spacious and grassy dog park. Bathrooms/showers were basic and kept clean and functional.  Cell service was nonexistent for T-Mobile.  There is a boat ramp and designated swimming area. Very family friendly. There was no excess noise from campers or dogs.  A great experience.

    La Paz County Park

    Nice place to stay, non-potable water

    Very nice $30 full hookup. Dry camping also available. Usually booked Fri and Sat in winter as big swap meet there. River access, restaurant on premises, not too far from Parker AZ. Marked down because of water . 3 dog parks on site, showers

    Rice Ranch RV Park

    New owners!

    We met new managers upon arrival, and they were amazing. Got us hooked up in a great site. Brand new electrical, water, and sewer installed. A pickleball court, and a new dog park (hidden from view). We talked to management, they plan on installing a bar, a pool, bathrooms, laundry, and more in the next year or so. Very excited to come back to see how it’s changed! It is basically a dusty lot at the moment, but it has so much potential!

    North Ranch

    Good for One Night

    North Ranch is an Escapees RV park with large gravel lot and closely spaced sites. Full hook up with only 30 amp available. There is also another area for dry camping. This is a good place if just passing through and need to do some laundry and dump and fill and take a nice long shower. The sites are fairly close as most RV parks are, clean flat gravel sites. Nothing special but nothing much to complain about either.

    Road noise was constant as was ATV use as many of the campers had them. Covid restrictions in place and a mask is required.

    2 laundry areas with washer dryers for$1.25/each open 24/7

    Propane on site 

    Recycling bin- mixed recycling accepted 

    Garbage dumpster 

    Dump station(was closed when we were there) 

    Exercise room
