Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Cleveland, OK

Appalachia Bay campground near Cleveland offers extensive shoreline access for campers with pets. All sites provide direct lake views and ample space between campsites for dogs to explore on-leash. Tall Chief Cove and Bear Glen also welcome pets throughout their facilities, including RV sites with electric hookups and water access. Most campgrounds in the area require pets to remain leashed at all times outside vehicles and campers, with designated pet waste disposal stations located near bathroom facilities. The RV Park at Keystone Lake features a large dedicated dog park where pets can exercise off-leash, while maintaining strict on-leash policies throughout the remainder of the campground. Primitive tent camping options at Cowskin Bay South accommodate pets with picnic tables and direct waterfront access, though bathroom facilities lack doors and may be inconvenient for longer stays. Sites are spacious enough to provide adequate room for pet containment without crowding neighboring campers. Visitors use The Dyrt to find real feedback on camping near Cleveland, Oklahoma.

Keystone Lake camping areas provide numerous water-based recreation opportunities where dogs can swim at designated shorelines. Washington Irving South offers both electric and water hookups for RV campers with pets, though some sites require significant leveling. Nearby trails along Keystone Lake shoreline are accessible for dog walking, though owners should watch for glass or debris at primitive sites. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, requiring ample shade and water for pets during warm-weather camping. Jellystone Park enforces stricter pet policies with designated pet areas only, making it less suitable for campers seeking extensive pet recreation options. Bathhouse facilities at most campgrounds are basic, with pit toilets common at primitive sites. The sites near Pier 51 provide a better experience for families with both children and pets seeking full amenities, while Cowskin Bay South offers a more rustic experience for those wanting lakeside camping with dogs.

    Osage Hills State Park Campground

    They let us in for free!

    We arrived here later in the day. We were here and it was chilly in November. Apparently the person working didn't anticipate any body showing up so late in the season. They were surprised and let us in for free. Its a pretty sweet camp right on the lake. 20-30 tent sites. As well as full RV hook ups.

    Theres hiking, biking, and fishing in the area. We weren't really sure what to think about camping in Oklahoma and the camp site and people blew our expectations.

    Cheers!

    Riverside RV Park

    Stayed for a month

    Great location, friendly staff, and very reasonable pricing. $395 for the month + electric. Laundry room on site is nice, inexpensive, and includes plenty of washer and dryers. There’s a paved walking trail right next to the campground that is well maintained and leads to the campgrounds dog park. Dog park is clean and spacious. My only thing to note is that the campground is all rock/dirt so it is very dusty, however the staff to a great job of keeping up with the area and making it a nice place to stay.

    The RV Park at Keystone Lake

    Sooner's Corner RV Park

    Easily Accessed From Highway

    On my way north of Oklahoma City I was in search of a gas station on a pretty baron strip of highway. I saw a few signs for a local community of Perry and thought I would check it out along the way. Just off the highway at exit 185 heading toward Highway 77 there was a small truck stop but more surprisingly located just beside as a part of the same property was roadside motel and RV stop.

     I inquired within and was informed that they have nightly as well as weekly rates available and often are frequented by tourists passing through on the main highway. 

    There are only 16 pull through locations but they do allow overnight tent stay, although there is not a discounted rate for tents. 

    The property is limited on shade but does have basic amenities and proximity to quick feel before hitting the road again. 

    The restrooms are quite nice and offer showers and laundry services as well. They do allow pets and didn’t seem to have an additional charge for this. If you are looking for an easy access location this one is great for a quick pull off however if you are looking for more recreational style campgrounds look at Perry Lake which is only a short distance away.

    Claremore Expo RV Park

    In town Rv lot

    I wouldn’t say this is camping. The people that usually stay here are in town for events at the Expo or driving thru. There is a lot to do nearby. TWithin walking distance there’s the expo center (you can go in and pet horses) and a Rec center with a pool. You can go to Will Rogers Museum, JM Davis fun museum, RSU has a nice little hiking trail as does the Lake.

    Wah-Sha-She Park

    Best camp hosts & beautiful, peaceful nights

    My husband, 2 dogs, and I stayed here in our tent multiple weekends in a row this past summer. We went jugging in our canoe and caught some really good size blue cats. The camp hosts are the absolute best! And never ending gorgeous evenings spent by the campfire watching the sunset.

    Dog Iron Ranch & Will Rogers Birthplace

    Gorgeous place

    I grew up in Oologah and frequented the birthplace often. There’s lots of animals to pet and lots of history to learn. You can tour the birthplace for free, there’s an old barn to explore, you can go hiking, there’s horse trails as well. It’s very close to Oologah lake so you could go swimming for the day, rent seados or a boat etc. You can rent a spot for $25 to RV camp with a maximum of 3 days. You have to apply for it as well. No smoking is allowed and you can only drink past 5 pm (wine and beer only) if that’s your thing. It is such a beautiful place, rich in history and I highly recommend visiting at least once!

    Sheppard Point

    Nice for a quick trip

    This campground was mostly clean and pleasant for a short weekend trip. We did find a lot of cigarette butts all over our site but other than that it was pretty clean. We camped next to some friends which worked out well because our picnic table was very close to the other people camping next to us. The lake has a little swim beach and the water is a bit dirty like most lakes in Oklahoma. There were bathrooms and showers nearby and they were some of the nicer bathrooms that we have come across. There isn’t a lot of shade so be aware of that. We didn’t get a chance to kayak while we were there because it was extremely hot and then we had a storm roll in but the lake seemed pretty nice for kayaking and other small boats.
