Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Lake Lotawana, MO

430 Reviews

Blue Springs Lake Campground's pet-friendly sites accommodate both tent and RV camping with water and electric hookups. Lake Jacomo in Fleming Park welcomes pets at all campsites, offering picnic tables and fire rings at each location. Campers with dogs have access to sanitary dump stations, drinking water, and trash disposal. Sites vary in level terrain with some positioned on hillsides that may collect water during rainy periods. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash policies requiring dogs to be secured at all times outside vehicles or tents. Some campsites are positioned near roadways, requiring extra vigilance with pets.

Jackson County Fleming Park features multiple pet-friendly camping options with sites that remain open from April through October. The nearby trail system provides exercise opportunities for dogs, though hikers report some trails become overgrown during peak summer months. Lake access points allow dogs to cool off, particularly at designated swimming areas. Campgrounds enforce quiet hours to minimize barking disruptions to fellow campers. Raccoons are prevalent in the camping areas and are not afraid of humans, requiring secure food storage to prevent wildlife encounters with pets. Peculiar Park Place and Kansas City East-Oak Grove KOA offer year-round pet-friendly camping alternatives with full hookup amenities for extended stays.

    Great Escape RV Park & Campground

    Nice for overnight

    Just stopped for one night on our way east. Friendly host checked us in. Nice dog park with bench and shade. All sites are FHU. They offered to move us to a pull thru, but I picked our site based on proximity to the dog park, so I declined the move. We were in site 38, back-in 30 amp. Sites are a bit tight but no one next door so ok. I recommend for a stopover. Less fancy but nicer for dogs imo than Owl Creek which is one exit away. There is a pond for fishing (no license required) and a swimming pool.

    Kansas City East-Oak Grove KOA

    Great overnight

    Easy access to Interstate and pull through sites were long enough for our truck and 32’ trailer without having to unhitch. Stayed just one night as we passed through. Looked like it would be a good place to stay for multiple nights.

    Clean campground. Nice grounds. Two good fenced dog parks.

    Only negatives were our hookups were literally in the next site next to their table, and their fire ring was very close to our trailer.

    Kansas City East-Oak Grove KOA

    Ok for a stopover

    Stayed one night at the KOA in Oak Grove, just east of Kansas City. The sites were all sunny and since it was 100 degrees, it was hot. But the pool was nice and they had a nice dog park which was ok in the evening after it cooled off. Close to KC so we could drive in for BBQ.

    Weston Bend State Park Campground

    Enjoyable Stay

    Getting to the state park off I 29 and through the countryside was easy as the route had Weston Bend SP signage. We followed the SP signs to the campground(CG) where the gate was not manned so we headed to get water, but someone was sitting in the dump station waiting for another person to arrive so we went around this one-loop CG to see if there was a convenient spigot. There are spigots but with a larger rig, you will block the road, and/or you will be on a hill. We went back around and the person moved so we could get water. After that, we headed to pull through site 28 with electric(50/30/20 AMP) only. The site is long but has a 1/4 moon turn so we had to pull back around to get better positioned on the pad so we could disconnect our 39’ 5th wheel and F450 for our 3-night stay. There were tree branches overhead that we could not avoid. RVers next to us in site 30 had just arrived as well and were having trouble getting their travel trailer unhitched and leveled due to the pad’s slight incline and unlevel asphalt. They got their trailer positioned so they could get somewhat level. We got a solid two bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. Due to our proximity to Kansas City, we got a lot of OTA channels. A satellite connection would be iffy in most sites here due to the number of mature trees. The trees in a lot of sites would also scrape the top of larger rigs. There’s a variety of sites with most being good for regular trailers versus tall rigs, and tent sites. They have a nice shower house with 1 washer and 1 dryer both for$1.50. There are also vaulted toilets here and there. There’s a 1.7-acre fenced dog park that includes one large area for large dogs and two other areas with one dedicated to smaller dogs. The dog area is at the front park entrance away from the campground and it would be a long walk to get there, so we drove up. There are a lot of hiking trails here plus an old tobacco barn that’s worth a look.

    Weston Bend State Park Campground

    Peaceful

    Pros:

    - so peacefully quiet, seriously even with the kids

    - dog park with 3 separate areas- close to KC

    - a hose at the dump station that you can actually hook up to your black tank flush

    - both AT&T and Verizon worked great 

    Cons:

    - I honestly have none from here!

    Weston Bend State Park Campground

    Great, quite large camp sites

    Great please to camp, not to crowded. Got busier on the weekends, empty on the week. Nice showers and toilets, laundry. Campsites were large, many had a good footprint enough to set up a large tent. We have a 20’ round yurt and had plenty of room. Lots of hiking trails in this park, some paved. Nice lookout point. Dog park was nice, well gated and taken care of, had water station for thirsty dogs. We spent 25$ a night for a 30amp electric site. Campground was well maintained. Only minutes from the historic town of Westin, amazing parks, lots of pubs and little restaurants. Nice place to walk around. I would camp here again.

    Owl Creek Market and RV Park

    Nice for overnight

    Stayed one night while traveling back to the east coast. It is a decent campground. The bath house was clean and showers were hot. Sites are close together. Mine had shade. There is a small dog park at the top of the hill. 

    I came late and left early, so didn't get to browse the cheese shop, but it looked nice. I would stay here again.
