Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Jackson, LA
Tunica Hills Campground offers secluded, walk-in tent sites and small A-frame cabins that welcome pets. The campground maintains spotless facilities and provides firewood for purchase at $5 per bundle. Campers with dogs appreciate the separation between sites created by natural ravines, providing privacy when pets are along for the trip. Baton Rouge KOA, approximately 32 miles south, features full hookup RV sites with concrete pads plus pet-friendly tent sites and cabins. Green Acres Campground, now operating as Peaceful Pines RV Park, no longer permits tent camping but continues to welcome pets in RVs with both water and electric hookups.
The terrain at Tunica Hills provides excellent pet exercise opportunities with Clark's Creek nearby for hiking adventures. Dogs must remain leashed throughout the campground areas, and owners should pack adequate water supplies as the remote location offers limited services. The campground's walk-in nature requires either hiking gear for carrying supplies or utilizing the owner's ATV transportation service to reach campsites. Richard K. Yancy Sand Levee Campground offers a more primitive alternative for pet owners seeking a rustic experience, though campers should be prepared for mosquitoes and potential wildlife encounters including raccoons, possums and armadillos. The absence of designated sites and basic facilities makes this option suitable for self-sufficient campers with pets comfortable in wilderness settings.
