Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Edmond, OK

Arcadia Lake offers tent, RV, cabin, and glamping accommodations that welcome pets across its scenic grounds. Central State Park Campground and Twin Fountains RV Park maintain similar pet-friendly policies, providing dedicated spaces where dogs can accompany their owners. Each campground features picnic tables, fire pits, and reservable sites with various hookup options for RV campers. The campsites at Arcadia Lake have spacious gravel pads and sturdy picnic tables on concrete pads, creating comfortable setups for campers with pets. Most sites have fire rings intact and good shade coverage, particularly valuable during warmer months for keeping pets comfortable.

Wildlife encounters are common throughout these pet-friendly parks, with relatively tame deer frequently visiting campsites around Central State Park. Dogs must remain leashed at all times in public areas, though several designated spots allow for off-leash play. The wooded campsites at Central State Park provide more privacy than nearby alternatives, with trees creating natural barriers between sites. Bathroom facilities vary in quality across campgrounds, with some guests noting cleanliness issues during peak seasons. Lake access points are available for pets that enjoy swimming, though owners should note that signs warn about potential amoebas in the water. First-come, first-served camping can be challenging during busy periods, with many campers staying for extended periods and limiting availability for weekend visitors.

    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.

    Rockwell RV Park

    🐃 🐃 🐃

    Plenty of spaces with full hookups, cable/wifi, but spaces are close together. No fire ring. We asked to change our site and they accommodated us. Friendly staff with small store. They have small, but nicely maintained dog park. They have live buffalo, too! Pool, jacuzzi, laundry, and bathhouse.

    Six days of great

    The people here are very nice and helpful. We stayed at this park for 6 days waiting for our new hitch to get there and everything was great. The bath house is very nice and there’s a great playground and dog park. I’m very happy we decided to pull in.

    Mustang Run RV Park

    Excellent RV Park

    This RV Park is very very nice. It sits right beside the highway, so there is quite a bit of traffic noise, but other than that, This RV park is top of the line. I generally prefer a more rural setting, but we came to OKC to visit friends and found this gem. The parking spaces are wide and easy to get in and out of. Of course full hook ups with 50 amp service. There was cable TV, with lots of channels (a luxury we have not experienced on our three month journey). The cell service was good here (AT&T), and the park wifi worked better here than any other place we’ve stayed. It is Springtime here in Oklahoma City, so that means tornado season. Not my favorite thing - torrential rains, hail, wind, thunder, lightening, and every bodies favorite - tornadoes! We stayed here for a week, and nearly every night we had buckets of rain. We were glued to the news channels a couple of nights in fear of golfball sized hail, or worse - the dreaded tornado! This Was V park has 4 or 5 underground shelters, which is somewhat of a comfort. The dog park here is good. They have trash pick up service everyday- you just put your bag out by your camper and they come pick it up. While here, we went to the Bombing Memorial. I would definitely come back - just not in the Spring!

    Oklahoma City East KOA

    Busy campground with excellent management

    Beautiful campground with plenty of amenities at a great price. The spaces were a good size to fit our 45’ toyhauler with 2 vehicles (and put the back patio down). There are a fair bit of trees, so big rigs use caution pulling into spaces.

    Nice playground for the kids, pool was closed (opens Memorial Day to Labor Day), dog park is large and very well shaded. Laundry room is very clean and well kept.

    Approximately 20-30 minutes from OKC zoo & science museum.

    Overall wonderful stay with no complaints.

    Central State Park Campground

    Great campsite, but a pain to get set up

    I’ve stayed here twice now, and I love the rural, rougher campsites. This area is much more wooded than Thunderbird, and the views of the lake are obstructed by trees, so don’t expect to get a lake view in front of your tent. Payment sucks, as you have to shove money into an envelope at the entrance and is just a hassle. The City of Edmond could improve this by allowing reservations online just like the Oklahoma State Parks.

    Pioneer RV Park

    Depends what you are looking for

    Looking for a nature centric camping experience? This isn’t your place.

    Need a place convenient to the Lazy E Arena, Guthrie or Edmond to base out of of? This could be your spot.

    Need an easy on/off overnight spot in central Oklahoma? This could work for that, too.

    Not scenic, but clean, level spots. On-site store and propane are handy. Spots aren’t roomy, but I’ve been packed in tighter at other places. All spots look to be pull-through.

    Lazy E is only 4 miles away.

    Chicken Shack is very close and has great fried chicken. A bigger convenience store and gas station is close as well.

    In Guthrie check out Missys Donuts for the best donuts and in Edmond, Texlahoma BBQ is consistently awesome.
