Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Elk City, OK

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Elk City Lake Park accommodates both tent and RV campers with pets, featuring picnic tables and water hookups across its spacious grounds. Pets must remain leashed throughout the park, with easy access to walking paths around the lake. Bobcat Creek RV Park also welcomes pets with full hookup sites and includes a small pet walking area. The family-owned park offers special pet welcome treats for dogs and even provides cat toys for feline travelers. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard pet policies requiring owners to clean up after their animals and keep them leashed when outside vehicles or RVs. The bathrooms at area campgrounds are clean and well-maintained, though pets are not permitted in facilities.

Foss State Park Campground provides additional pet-friendly options about 30 minutes from Elk City, with both tent and RV sites that welcome dogs. The park includes several trails where leashed pets can explore the lakeside terrain, though stickers in the grass at some area campgrounds require protective footwear for both humans and pets. Elk City-Clinton KOA offers a dedicated dog park where pets can run off-leash safely within a fenced area. Local campgrounds typically enforce quiet hours that apply to barking dogs as well. During summer months, temperatures in the region frequently exceed 90°F, requiring ample water and shade for pets. The Elk Creek RV Park sits behind a truck stop, providing a convenient overnight option for travelers with pets, though the grounds contain stickers that can be uncomfortable for dog paws.

    Bobcat Creek RV Park

    Affordable Hidden Gem

    Bobcat Creek RV Park is a peaceful, well-kept property that won’t empty your bank account if you decide to stay the night, an entire week or a full month. They even have online booking!

    The RV Park is located in the small town of Sayre, Oklahoma and is not far off the interstate. With full hookups and great rates, this family owned and operated park is the perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

    They have a walking path, laundry room and free WiFi along with an office/convenience store that has gas, diesel and propane exchange. Even with being close to I-40, the road traffic is only a light background noise.

    The city of Sayre has a grocery store, two truck stops, RV/Truck self-wash bays, propane refill and fast food options. There are two local parks to take the family to and burn off some energy. If you need more big city options like restaurants or a Walmart, Elk City is a quick 15 minute drive down the freeway.

    Oklahoma Welcome Center - Eastbound

    A Big Oklahoma Welcome

    This rest stop and visitor area is perfect for a stop to walk or for an overnight stay. They have bathrooms, brochures for all the different regions of Oklahoma, pet area, large level lots, and great walking path. When you arrive the road splits one side for cars other for big rigs and RVs. Since we were worried about the noise from the semi trucks we found a road right before the truck lot to the right. We went by what appears to be a maintenance building and around behind that is a locked lot were they keep sand. We parked back here. It was quiet and level. No one came to ask us to leave and it appeared to be part of this rest area land. The truck and tv lot did fill up in the evening. The information center is open from 8:30-5 daily the the ladies inside were very friendly and helpful! Be careful with your pets. The grass area is full of those thorny burrs!! Our dog got a few before we discovered that, but the pet area was clear from those nasty things! Definitely a perfect welcome into Oklahoma.

    Bobcat Creek RV Park

    Dreaming of the hollow under the stars.

    We selected Bobcat Creek RV Park due to price and location. Right off of Interstate 40 is this lovely camp nestled in a hollow surrounded by trees with a creek and trail running through it. We were guided to our site by an employee on a golf cart. The park was clean and well maintained even the fenced dog park was policed. We had a lovely stay.

    Flying W Guest Ranch

    Unique stay off the beaten path but convenient to I40

    Let’s face it– there are not a lot of camping options as you traverse your way across Oklahoma! We typically do not enjoy RV parks that are right on the highway and look for any place that might be unique (and quieter). Flying W Guest Ranch fits the bill. It is less than 10 miles off I40 between the small town of Sayre and the slightly larger one of Elk City. The ranch serves as a wedding venue and also, the Sayre Junior and Senior Prom was recently held there. There is a small western-themed town that includes a café. There were horses and I believe you could arrange a horseback ride, but we did not ask as we were passing through. 

    There are eight RV sites accessed by a separate entrance about a half-mile walk or drive from the “town”, laid out in typical RV park style and they have water and electric hookups, but the sewer hookups appeared to be disabled. As Harvest Host members, we paid $10 but non-members pay $30. There are also two types of cottages; I did not inquire about them but their website indicates they are $100-$120 per night. An option is a sirloin steak dinner for $25, which my husband enjoyed while I was happy with a baked potato and salad for$5. You need to arrange for this in advance, but a few hours’ notice was sufficient when we were there. 

    We were greeted warmly by the staff (Samantha and Burl, the owner). I believe this property is currently for sale and sadly, it is a little worn around the edges. My main reason for three stars instead of four is that the bathhouse did not have running water and it appeared it had not been in use for quite some time. This would make it more suitable for fully contained RVs but it was less optimal for us in our campervan.

    Elk City-Clinton KOA

    A fine place to recharge before embarking on your next journey

    We stayed here for one night on our way from Raton, NM to Devil’s Den State Park in AR. The campground was well staffed, clean, and signs clearly marking the entrances to the property and sites by number.

    We stayed in pull-in site #59, which is paved. The site was perfectly level left to right and we barely dropped our tongue jack to level front to back. There is a laundry, playground, and dog park where the pups can run free off leash.

    The coolest part of the campground is the store / office / bar, called “The Moose Knuckle Tavern” (lol). They have pizza, wings, burgers, a salad, and some apps. Call about 30 minutes ahead so you can place your order and not have to wait for your food. Also, plan your stay around not being here on a Sunday. The campground is in one of only 5 counties in Oklahoma that don’t allow alcohol sales on Sundays...lame.

    Wanderlust Crossings RV Park

    Absolutely stunning

    We picked this place because of its convenience to route 40 and what a suprise. The grounds are stunning! Each space had cement slabs that are level which made our night stop so easy. The grass is thick and meticulously cared for. The dog park even has lush grass! We had an amazing stay.

Guide to Elk City

Camping near Elk City, Oklahoma centers around Foss Lake, where campsites offer direct water access and concrete pads. The region sits at approximately 1,900 feet elevation with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 100°F. Winter nights can drop below freezing with strong winds across the open landscape.

What to do

Fishing access: Cedar Point Campground at Foss State Park offers direct lake access for anglers. "People out early fishing on the lake. Lots of nice picnic areas and a frisbee golf course," notes Laurianne H. Sites overlook the water for convenient fishing.

Hiking trails: Multiple paths around Foss Lake provide opportunities for wildlife viewing. "Foss State Park has a lot of things to do! Mini golf, regular golf, playgrounds, pool, ball fields, basketball, tennis and lots of walking trails," mentions Laura M. from Sayre City Park. The extensive trail system at Cedar Point lets visitors hear "lots of owls and coyotes at night," according to Teresa T.

Swimming areas: Designated swimming sections provide relief during hot summer months. "This campground offers an area sectioned off for swimmers. A lot of room is available for boating fun whether it be fishing, skiing, tubing, etc," explains Colton K. about Foss State Park. The park includes a beach area near the marina with distinctive red rocks.

What campers like

Budget-friendly options: Sayre City Park Campground provides exceptional value at $12 per night. "With water and electrical hookups provided, it's a steal for $12/night. Sites aren't clearly marked if you aren't from the area, but it's a self pay kiosk," explains Colby H. The park includes full amenities despite the low cost.

Lake views: Many campers appreciate the waterfront locations. "Nice with many pull thru level sites. A few back ins. Wonder Lake view. Full hook ups," writes James L. about Cedar Point. The concrete pads at Cedar Point provide stable footing regardless of weather conditions.

Uncrowded camping: Several campgrounds offer peaceful experiences away from crowds. "We were one of three campers on a friday night in August," reports Stephen B. at Sayre City Park. Similarly, Jan G. found Cedar Point "beautiful. The water views, sunset, and really not many people by us."

What you should know

Weather considerations: The open terrain provides minimal protection from elements. "The wind was crazy making tent camping a little rough," reports Anna M. from Elk City Lake Park. Prepare for strong winds and temperature fluctuations.

Insects: Biting gnats can be problematic. "I don't know if it's an Oklahoma thing but the wind was crazy making tent camping a little rough. I'm not used to what're gnat like bug they have so plan accordingly they are attracted mostly to light but swarm both day and night," warns Anna M.

Wildlife encounters: Prepare for potential nocturnal visitors. "We were visited in our sleep by raccoons trying to get in our tent," reports Anna M. Many campers report hearing coyotes at night across multiple campgrounds in the area.
