1 campground with availability this weekend
Blue Springs Lake Campground and Lake Jacomo in Fleming Park welcome pets at all campsites with standard leash requirements. Both locations offer full hookups for RV campers, with water, electric, and sewer connections available. The campgrounds accommodate various camping styles including tent, RV, and cabin options at select locations. Jackson County Fleming Park Jacomo Campground remains open from April 1 to October 31, while Kansas City East-Oak Grove KOA operates year-round for campers traveling with pets. Bathroom facilities at Fleming Park receive consistently positive mentions for cleanliness and privacy, with individual rooms containing toilets, sinks and showers rather than communal facilities.
Hiking trails near the campgrounds provide exercise opportunities for dogs, with 27 different trails available throughout Fleming Park. The nearby lakes offer water access, though pet owners should supervise their animals carefully around fishing areas and boating activities. Many campsites at Lake Jacomo sit on sloped terrain, which can create water runoff issues after rainfall that affect tent camping with dogs. Some sites lack adequate shade coverage, so campers with pets should request shaded sites when making reservations to prevent heat-related issues. Wildlife sightings are common throughout the area, including deer that frequently appear near the campgrounds, requiring pets to remain properly leashed at all times.

"We enjoyed taking time to go to Osage Fort and Missouri town. Two historical landmarks worth the visit. Our StarLink worked well."

"Pet friendly and close to KC shops and stores"
from $62 - $131 / night

"Provided easy access to the Area, we stopped to visit friends. We would stay here again."

from $35 - $80 / night
GuideCampground is right off I 70 so it’s convenient. We stayed at site 51 which is the farthest pull thru from the road , it was all concrete and gravel one big parking lot with a fancy cheese shop up front . Good for one night stay with full hook up was a little pricy but I would pay for the convenience
TravelerGood for an overnight. Water and electric at each site with communal dump station. Clean and modern restrooms.
ScoutFree laundry, (only 1 washer & dryer per bath area) showers, and right on the lake. Has tent camping up to 14 days, and its pretty laid back and clean. Huge facilities, no electric for tent spots but they have it in bathrooms. Fire pits and picnic table. Buy 3- get 4 nights for seniors 62+.
TravelerHost was very nice, just outside city so access to what you need if you go north, access to hiking and country if you go south. I got concrete slab and full hookups. Showers and restrooms clean.
GuideVery crowded. Sites on top of each other and over priced for what it offers. Nice showers but only 2 for over a hundred sites. Would not recommend.
GuideNice place. Two small ponds. Good shower and laundry facilities. Spaces close together but not very full campground. They do charge $5/ guest if you have someone come to visit you while camping.
ScoutI went with my daughter. We had a wonderful time! It was a nice clean campsite well cared for. Just what you want for camping.
TravelerOur camp site was great! We stayed in Loop C and there’s bathrooms scattered all around the loop, pets welcome, no visitors past 10pm and no fires past midnight. Nice and peaceful and everyone around was courteous and friendly. 10/10 recommend staying here. Lots of acorns, if you stay under any trees so be aware! Also, there was sites that are one camper can fit in and other sites that have two right next to each other for family camping together!
TravelerWe loved this campsite! The sites were very spacious and each had its own little stretch of shoreline, which made it perfect for fishing right from camp. Even with several families enjoying the lake, it still felt peaceful and private. We saw people fishing, kayaking, boating, and spending time on the water, and even watched deer across the lake.
We stayed near the boat launch, which also put us close to the bathroom. The fire pit was excellent quality, and at night the stargazing was incredible. Free, family-friendly, scenic, and surprisingly private. We would absolutely camp here again.
Fleming Park provides multiple camping options near Lee's Summit, Missouri, with two main campgrounds situated on Lake Jacomo and Blue Springs Lake. Camping areas offer varied terrain, with some sites located on slopes that can create drainage issues during rainfall. The park's 7,809 acres include over 27 hiking trails, two lakes, and diverse wildlife habitats that attract deer and other animals throughout the year.
Fishing access points: Blue Springs Lake and Lake Jacomo offer multiple fishing spots for dogs and owners. "Beautiful Lake, with fishing, and boating," notes Shirley M., who stayed at Blue Springs Campground.
Historical sites exploration: Several historical attractions exist near the campgrounds for days with challenging weather. "Rainy weather for the most part but did take time to go to the Fort Osage National Historic Landmark and Missouri Town which is part of the Jackson County Parks & Rec. Nice way to spend a rainy kind of day," according to one camper's experience.
Swimming options: While Fleming Park itself has limited swimming facilities, nearby Lake Paradise Resort offers a swimming pool that many campers appreciate. "The pool is renovated and very nice. It is very large, zero entry, up to mostly around 5 ft deep with a small area that was 9ft; there is a children's area with a sprinkler," writes Julie B.
Private bathroom facilities: Many campers highlight the individual bathroom designs at Fleming Park campgrounds. "The bathrooms are the nicest campground bathrooms I've ever used - large, clean, and not communal, so you get a sink, toilet, and shower all to yourself," reports Fawn W. of Lake Jacomo - Fleming Park.
Spacious campsites: Site spacing varies throughout the campgrounds but many offer good separation. "The sites were well situated such that you felt you had plenty of privacy," says Shirley M., while another camper notes, "We loved this campground. The sites are so pretty and spaced well."
Year-round accessibility: For pet owners seeking dog friendly campgrounds near Lee's Summit during off-season months, Kansas City East-Oak Grove KOA operates throughout the year. "Nice to spend the night. Friendly staff and clean bath/shower facilities. Close proximity to the interstate does come with some traffic noise," reports Renee H.
Site selection considerations: Many Lake Jacomo campsites present leveling challenges due to terrain. "Not a great spot for tent camping. Ton of road noise and most grassy areas are sloped," writes Nicholas G., highlighting issues not mentioned about every site.
Seasonal operation schedule: Jackson County Fleming Park Jacomo Campground operates with a limited season from April 1 to October 31, while other nearby facilities have different schedules. "We camped here in September 2020. There are nice spots right by the lakes with big trees for shade," notes Brandi D.
Security measures: Some dog friendly campgrounds near Lee's Summit implement security protocols. "We felt very safe here since they require an access code to get into the gate," explains Jessica C. about her experience at Blue Springs Lake Campground.
Playground access: When camping with children, select sites strategically near play areas. "The sites were well kept up, with many prime locations near the playground for our kids," explains Chris W., providing insight for family-centered camping.
Wildlife education opportunities: Fleming Park offers numerous wildlife viewing opportunities for educational experiences. "You can't see the lake from the campground, and there was some road noise from morning commuters but overall it's a nice stop for a night or two," notes Jessica C., indicating the natural setting despite being near developed areas.
Water activities planning: Families should check lake conditions and facilities before planning water activities. At Campus RV Park, one camper noted, "Just 30 minutes to downtown Kansas City and maybe 15 minutes to arrowhead stadium, this campground is ideal for being close to everything that Kansas City offers. Full hook ups, concrete pads, showers and laundry."
Site leveling preparation: RVers should bring levelers for certain areas of Fleming Park. "The site slopes to the passenger side and downhill toward the road, so we used a few levelers. Many sites here are sloped. The premium cement pads seemed to be more level than gravel sites," advises MickandKarla W.
Hookup positioning awareness: Understanding utility locations helps with parking alignment. "The utilities were located mid-to-rear on the site, and we had no trouble reaching them," notes one RV camper, providing practical positioning information.
Navigation considerations: Some campgrounds have tight entrances requiring careful maneuvering. "The check-in area at this county campground (CG) was a little tight but manageable with our 40' 5th wheel and F450 truck," reports an experienced RVer, indicating specific size accommodation details.
