Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Tulelake, CA

202 Reviews

Tulelake Butte Valley Fair RV Park's pet-friendly sites accommodate campers with dogs throughout the year, offering full hookups with 50-amp electrical service in a peaceful setting. Pets receive a warm welcome at established campgrounds across the Tulelake area, including Klamath Falls KOA where visitors find a clean, well-maintained facility with heated bathrooms during winter camping. The KOA's tent sites accommodate pets alongside RV spots and cabins, though some campers note the tent spaces are extremely close together. Eagle's Nest RV Park and Hawk's Nest Tionesta RV & Cabins both welcome pets with picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Dogs are allowed at several dispersed camping areas including Tickner Road, featuring gorgeous spots in the woods with singing birds and considerable distance between camping areas.

Lava Beds National Monument Road provides multiple free dispersed camping locations where pets can join their owners exploring the volcanic landscape. Well-defined campfire rings mark several pet-friendly spots suitable for travel trailers up to 32 feet. The area had fires in 2020, but plenty of beautiful pines remain with new vegetation growing throughout the landscape. For RV travelers with pets, both Merrill Mobile Manor & RV Park and Tulelake Butte Valley Fair offer peaceful, pet-friendly environments with full hookups including sewer, water and electric connections. Campers should be aware of wildlife considerations when camping with pets, especially in the South Lava Beds dispersed area where the recovering landscape provides open spaces but limited shade. Passport America members receive half-price camping at Tulelake Butte Valley Fair, making it an economical option for pet owners at $18 per night instead of the standard $36 rate.

    Didnt spend the night

    We didn’t spend the night, only stopped for a few hours to make dinner and stretch out legs. They have designated pet relief areas, lots of signs that say “no pets” on all other areas of grass. Super clean, lots of space, you have road noise but that’s a given.

    Indian Well Campground — Lava Beds National Monument

    The History and Caves & Eagles Bring Me Back!

    Caution. It is very hot and dry here in the summer!!!

    We go here in the spring and fall to avoid the heat. Open sparse cover campground but the regular amentiites are there - table, locker, fire ring.  Flush bathrooms but no showers.  First come first serve sites but I have never seen it full.  Some RVs will not fit so check if you are using one.

    You can also do back country camping but I have never done that here.

    The best reasoen to go are the caves.  There are caves of every type and every kind.  Some you walk thru and others you crawl through - caves for all ages and all abilities.  Try to get a reservation for the Ice Cave before you go (if you can).

    We also always look at the petroglyphs and watch the raptors there.

    Captain Jack's Stronghold and the Modoc history sites are fun and facinating as well.

    You are a short ride from the flyway and a reserve where you can always see eagles.

    You are also near the Tule Lake Japaneses Internment Camp,as well as a German POW camp. Small museuem at the fairgrounds at Tule Lake.

    Lots of birding in the area and you are close to some fun sites in Oregon as well.

    Aspen Point (lake of The Woods, Or)

    Perfect spot to camp!

    Multiple bathrooms, clean spaces with plenty of space, a shower, beautiful lake, and cell phone service! Went over the weekend and they have free live music at the lodge! Family and pet friendly really doesn’t get any better than this for $25 a night.

    One of our favorites

    We love coming to the TuleLake Fairgrounds. It has 30/50 Amp electricity and full hook ups. It is right off of Hwy 395 and very peaceful and quiet. Close to the wildlife refuges. If you have Passport America, you get half off the $36.00 night fee.

    Rocky Point Resort

    Beautiful and tranquil

    Whether you come by yourself, spouse, pet or kids, this place has it all! Basketball area, exercise, ping pong, canoe, pontoon, trampoline and more! Word has it, they're making an area for a BATTING CAGE! What RV resort have you ever heard of with that?!

    Great Meadow Sno-Park

    Parking, bathrooms, seasonal trails

    There is no camping here, its strictly a parking lot used for bathroom use, rest area, or use of seasonal trails. If you use the trails and leave your vehicle for a long period, you must have a permit otherwise an officer will give you a ticket. There is an area to let pets out off leash and occasional pond between seasons.

    Indian Well Campground — Lava Beds National Monument

    Quiet Island

    This is undoubtedly the quietest campground we have ever visited.  Not just because there were few campers, but its location so far from any highway or city.  I would also like to give kudos to the the fire crews who saved this area from the fire last year.  The visitor center and campground are an island of green in the middle of a charcoal land. 

    I would categorize it as a tent and teardrop campground.  There are some sites where larger RVs can park, maybe around 25', but most campground spaces will only hold the car.  They have a lot parallel RV parking and that requires you sign up for two spaces, one for your trailer, the other for your car.  The lower campground, A, is more open, great if you have solar.  The upper campground, B, has more spaces and some for larger RVs.  

    The drinking water faucets are irregularly dispersed and few.  You cannot hook up to them to fill your RV, so be sure to bring some 5 gallon containers to haul water to your RV.  There are flush toilets and sinks with cold water, no showers.  Bring all your supplies, as the nearest town is about a 40 minute drive.  There are very solid metal fire rings and picnic tables.  The closest dump station is in Tule Lake, but is excellent, with water and good drain positioning - and its free.

    We had excellent Verizon service and were able to surf the internet, load and download pictures without using any booster.  I was also pleased to get a staff member directly when I called for information.  There is a lot to see at this park and I highly recommend it.

    PS The helmet they sell ($8) saved my head many a time during cave exploring.

    Payne Springs Campground

    Beautiful Modoc

    As a native Californian I’m pretty ashamed I hadn’t explored Modoc much prior to this recent experience. It’s right up there with neighboring national forests in both California and Oregon in terms of its beauty but it’s vastly underrated.

    “Located in the scenic Medicine Lake Highlands, Payne Springs is surrounded by many attractions. This campground is adjacent to the Modoc Volcanic Scenic Byway and the Lava Beds National Monument is located near by. It is a great place to visit and learn about the local geology and history. There is no drinking water. There are picnic tables and fire pits at each site with fair road conditions getting to the sites.”

    First come first serve.
