All the sites were immaculate. Hosts were easy to communicate and work with. We both work remotely. Was $3 an hour after noon. Worth the $15 to have to move during the work day.

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.

we camped at the RV site and it was noisy. the road that runs parallel to the site is rather busy even till midnight. but it was peaceful. most importantly the hostess was kind, helpful and made sure we were settled in for our evening.

Elk City Lake Park
Nice clean spot to camp. 4 stars because water is 35 feet away and is in a 2 ft hole. Otherwise very nice.

It's mostly a long parking lot with toilets, trash bins and of course a small boat ramp. I believe there is a water spigot too. TMobile and StarLink work here. Picnic tables and a nice view of the lake.

Solid but not fantastic
Its a solid little USFS campsite and picnic area right on the water. Picnic tables, BBQ pits, trashcans, and a pit toilets building are all provided, as well as ample parking for daytime use.
There's really only one flat larking area usable for overnighting, with space for maybe three rigs close together, and a smaller dirt patch attached to it that can fit one more person.
Spent two nights here, and aside from the suprising number of locals coming through for weekdays, it wasn't bad.

Skipout Campground
Decent but not great
Stayed for a few nights and it wasn't my favorite spot in the area. Aside from the open parking lots there are a small handful of pulloff sites for vans and smaller rigs, with picnic tables and burn pits at each one, but none of them are even remotely level.
There's a note able amount of local traffic frequently coming through the sites, and a tent camper which a local informed me is a homeless man who's been there for atleast three months at the time of my visit.

On the water and low population, road noise at night though.
Found a nice spot right on the water to pull my rig to, no neighbors on my side of the lake and a nice stretch of beach to wander on.
In the hot months flies are a menace, but other than that the only real nuisance to deal with is frequent road noise traveling over the hills to you.
J D.GuideSayre City Park Campground
Very nice for $15
Close to 40 and large pull through spaces. Mostly level. Water and power. Bathrooms and showers could use some love but work and are free.

One night stay
Rolled in a bit after midnight, they have a water pump in addition to other amenities. The bathrooms were clean and they had mutiple family bathrooms.

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.
