The nearby swimming areas don't explicitly prohibit dogs, but keeping them away from designated human swimming zones is advisable.

Sites 60, 62, 64, and 66 in White Catfish Cove are considered prime locations for RVers with pets, offering better spacing between neighbors and improved access to walking paths.

GuideWe have stayed at Fort Cobb State Park more than once. Always a great experience, quiet park, marina, golf course, and you can’t come to this park without visiting the Ski-Boy, a classic burger joint in Fort Cobb right on the way to the lake.
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. We are happy to give a warm welcome to this host and are thankful to them for opening their property up to campers! These sites offer views of wildlife and are so peaceful. Fort Cobb Lake is nearby where you can fish, swim, kayak and more! Give them a try and leave them some love!
LegendWe 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.
RangerWe were traveling through and stopped for a couple of nights to visit family. It’s a wonderful park that fit our needs because it was close to our family. Concrete pull through and back ins were level and spacious. Small pool and had several areas to walk our dog. Also a small off lead dog park. Laundry room was nice and very clean $2 to wash and $1.50 to dry. We absolutely loved the park. The only exception is the road noise. The interstate is within sight which does make it easy on and off, but also for some road noise. But we would definitely stay again because that’s the only con for us.
GuideWe 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.
TravelerOnly stayed one night but would have stayed longer. Quiet place with nice landscaping. Concrete level pull thru with full hookups. Picnic table and fire pit at each lot. Has dog park, basketball court, playground and laundry facilities. Cellular good plus free wifi up to 800mb but can upgrade for $5. Cost was $45 a night but offered military discount. Gift shop does not have much but there is a gas station down the road that is easy in/out. Would have given it 5 stars if the nice lady who checked us in didn’t lie to me when I asked if there were vending machines in laundry room as we did not have detergent and she said no. Thank goodness we walked down there anyways.
RangerThis 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!
GuideI came here with my dog and cat in April and I would say it is one of the most beautiful well kept campgrounds I’ve ever been in as I make my way cross country from Florida to California that wasn’t all booked up and in fact, I was the only tenter there.
I picked a spot that had a red rock wall cove because I knew it would protect us from the coyotes. And I was right — by dusk you can hear them howl and yelp in the bushes so definitely watch your pets especially at night.
The camping spots are big enough, so you have ample room. I could’ve probably fit 3 to 4 tents easily in my spot with room to spare.
The only thing is, there’s no water at the tent site so I borrowed some from the recreational spigot across the way.
The bathrooms are semi-rustic but I’m sure you’ll survive.
There were a lot of old trees and moss on the ground so the ecology is really healthy and I don’t know if it’s because I was there in the spring.
I also like that they have ice and firewood delivery. Their café and snack bar was also a nice touch.
I saw mostly RVs. But they’re mostly in the back of the park.
They also have other amenities like a swimming pool, volleyball courts, playgrounds etc. It would be a perfect place for a family event.
RangerWe were in Site# 66. We had Full hook- up with a paved pull-through.
We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.
The site was easy to level. Our site was not shaded with limited trees. In eight years of RV-ing, we’ve never had such little space between us and our neighbors. We literally walk out our door into their sewer. (See pictures) My husband can touch both RVs with his arms outstretched.
The lot did not come with a concrete patio, picnic table, or a fire ring. Some lots had a picnic table. We did not request one since we’d be eating at our neighbor’s sewer.
It is an easy access to the campground from highway -(right off the highway).
There is free WiFi. They offer Cable TV and there are many local channels).
They do not sell wood here.
They do not provide garbage service at your site but there are many barrel drum trash cans that can be accessed.
You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.
They do have a Swimming pool (not heated & freezing). They have a fishing Lake on property (it is hidden behind some cabins so you could stay here & never know the lake is here). There are two Buffalo that are owned by the owners of the restaurant and trading post above the KOA (who also own the KOA).
There is a Playground and jumping pad for kids. They have a basic general store.
There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site but there is a restaurant at the top of the hill.
The streets are paved and good for riding bikes. There is not really anywhere to ride bikes outside of campground.
This is a RV park but also have many cabins for rent and tent areas.
They have 2 shower houses. The shower house has the typical stalls. These are kept very clean.
There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility. You’ll need to get change in the main office while they are open (no change machine). There are approximately 6 washers and 6 dryers. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2 to dry a load.
They have a fenced in dog park.
Bugs were an issue and bug spray was definitely needed.
There were no trails to hike in the campground.
We’ve noticed that the casinos nearby mainly offer slot machines only (very few have live tables (craps, roulette, blackjack,etc.).
Fort Cobb State Park camping areas span across several coves along the 4,100-acre reservoir with 45 miles of shoreline. Summer temperatures frequently reach 90-100°F during peak camping season, while spring and fall provide more moderate conditions. Most campsites sit at approximately 1,300 feet elevation, offering protection from strong Oklahoma winds due to the surrounding terrain.
Fishing at multiple access points: Fort Cobb Lake provides excellent fishing opportunities with catfish, crappie, and bass. "We stayed in the Whites Catfish Cove campground at site #16 during Father's Day Weekend... Walking distance to lake beach swim area and playground directly across from this site (great if you have kids)" notes Kassi S. about Fort Cobb State Park Campground.
Kayaking across the reservoir: Launch directly from your campsite at several locations around the lake. "From the site I was at it made launching the Kayaks very simple and we could paddle across to the marina with little effort," explains William A. about White Catfish Cove.
Visit local attractions: Take a short drive to explore nearby points of interest. "You can't come to this park without visiting the Ski-Boy, a classic burger joint in Fort Cobb right on the way to the lake," recommends Kelsie L.
Lakefront primitive camping: Secluded waterfront sites provide direct lake access without hookups. "Not sure why its called 'Area 4,' but I'm fairly certain this is supposed to be White Catfish Cove. Been coming here for years... Beautiful lake, nice clean campground and clean bathrooms. Some spots are right on the water, and the primitive spots are amazing," shares Robin K. about Fort Cobb State Park Campground.
Quiet, spacious settings: Many campsites offer ample room between neighbors. "White Catfish Cove is a nice and clean campground that host amazing views of the lake... there is alot of wildlife you will see in the area including ducks and deer walking through the campground," explains William A.
Scenic drives nearby: The surrounding landscape offers opportunities for exploration. "Just a couple miles off I40 and on Historic Route 66, this was the perfect overnight stop for us. Owners Carol & Danny greeted us as we arrived as did a beautiful sunset," mentions Michael D. about Territory Route 66 RV Park & Campgrounds.
Shower facilities require coins: Prepare quarters for hot showers in most Fort Cobb campgrounds. "The Bathrooms are modern and the showers do take quarters to operate. I think a 7 min shower is $1.50 but well worth the hot shower," advises William A.
Potable water situations vary: Some areas have restricted water access. "No water available due to an ongoing E. Coli issue," warns Sara R. about Doris Campground in the Wichita Mountains.
Weather considerations: Oklahoma weather can change rapidly, particularly during storm seasons. "We ended up having to leave a little earlier in the morning than planned because of a thunderstorm but we did get to see all the geese come in off the lake to get out of the water before the storm started," notes Cathy R. about Lake Chickasha.
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated recreation areas for children. "This site was located on both sides of the roadway... Walking distance to lake beach swim area and playground directly across from this site (great if you have kids)," mentions Kassi S. about Fort Cobb.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Kids enjoy observing the abundant wildlife around Fort Cobb. "We have stayed at Fort Cobb State Park more than once. Always a great experience, quiet park, marina, golf course," says Kelsie L.
Alternative dog-friendly camping options: For families with pets, explore nearby alternatives. "We stayed in site 36, loop C, mid-May. Large campsite; lots of trees. Short path behind site leads to Quanah Parker Lake," shares Fred S. about Camp Doris.
RV pad conditions: Be prepared for varying site surfaces when bringing rigs. "The RV pads are gravel and can be a little soft so bring some platforms to put the jacks down on," advises William A. about White Catfish Cove.
Site selection for larger rigs: Research specific sites that accommodate bigger RVs. "Prime spots for this campground area would be site #60, 62, 64, 66," suggests Kassi S. about the Fort Cobb campground, while also noting that site #16 "was hard to back into given the many vehicles parked on the street. I would not recommended this site for longer rv's or travel trailers."
Full hookup availability: Most sites offer limited hookups, so plan accordingly. "We stayed in the White Catfish Cove campground at site #16... It had 30 amp hook up and water available. No sewer hookup, but dump site was not far off," explains Kassi S. about Lake Lawtonka East Campground.
