Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Heyburn Lake

Spacious campground with trees on Heyburn Lake

This is a new RV park. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Sites are spacious level and easily accessible. They have a large dog park, good parking and area for additional parking for extra vehicles, boats, and such.

The park was mostly empty for our stay late October/early November. I believe the roads have been fixed since the other review mentioned them, it's not that bad any more. The area is really pretty and the spots by the water have an amazing view. Though several spots around the park are not very level and the hook ups are on the wrong side. Over all spot 8 was decent and we enjoyed our time at Heyburn Lake.

Spent one night at this campground. Grounds were clean, restrooms and showers were also clean. The check in office was inviting and pleasing. We didn’t use the laundry facility while we were there, but they are available should the need arise. Bathrooms were locked and secure and passcode was required to enter. Passcode was provided upon check in. Our site was a pull through level gravel pad with full hookups. The off leash dog park was a small fenced in area with a couple of benches. Horse track and casino were well within walking distance from the camp sites. Quiet location, just off the highway. Highway could not be heard from inside our camper.

Pros: Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP) Pull thru site Level site Picnic table on-site Outdoor Pool Shady Petting zoo

Cons: Dirt site

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.

I go here quite often. It has nice campsites nestled in the trees. It has a nice uncrowded campground. It always has availed campsites unless it is a hoiiday.The campsites are nice rather your in a campsites for RV and tents. The sites are very shading. It has a good swimming area. It has a fishing dock and a playground for the kids. The bathrooms are nice. Day use access is free with picnic tables, grills snd and showers. The bathrooms have showers and are very nice. The gradkids love it the campsites are very shady and pets are welcome. They also give 50% discount for camping if you have a golden age card or America the beautiful or disabled. There are stores nearby for supplies.

This campground is so beautiful. I have to be honest, we’re traveling the country and I didn’t have high hopes for liking Oklahoma. This campground has changed my mind. We haven’t even left and I’m already writing it down for us to visit again. It is beautiful here.

+Awesome playground & basketball goal +the VIEWS!

• the open spaces to walk dogs
• T Mobile service is okay.

Reserved for one day ended up staying an extra day because it was so relaxing.Concrete pads level and places to walk and wander around the ponds an through the pines.Short drive off interstate and close to a wide variety of shopping experiences and casinos . Found a great Thai restaurant and bought shoes while my dogs went to the petSmart for the works .

My wife and I had stayed here a couple of years ago, but we didn't get a lot of time to explore the place back then. We got in late and weather forced us out early, as we were not properly prepared. (Were still new to camping at the time) 

Recently our friends suggested this park as a close and easy place to camp as a group and I couldn't have been more pleased! The site that we had was more than enough room for 4 adults, 3 kids and a dog. We had 2 cars, two tents, a canopy and the dog on a tie out leash and still had plenty of room for the kids to play and run without interfering with other campsites. The swim beach was well kept and easily accessible with free life jacket loaners. The bathrooms were pretty spotless even though they are primitive style toilets only. The grounds were well kept, clean and spacious. They offer fishing docks, boat launches, plenty of bank to fish from as well as small playground equipment in a few places for the kids. Definitely one of our "close to home, quick overnight" favorites and we will be back very soon!

This place is a casino and a dog track. Very busy place- the office called us to get an idea on our ETA. Told us where to park to get our paperwork. It’s a bit confusing coming in but we hooked up with someone on a golf cart who took us right to our site. Nice and long for our 40’ motorhome and truck. Didn’t check out any of the amenities. Lots of restaurants close by.

This campground is smaller with a single loop and is most ideal for RV's and boaters. It doesn't offer much privacy from each other but in a group camp or RV it wouldn't be bad at all. The bathrooms are in excellent shape and a newer build and ALWAYS clean which is a major plus as they really take care of this place. There are several picnic areas and places to enjoy the lake. My only drawback is they made is leave if we weren't camping that night and playing in the water with our dogs.

I have been going to Skiatook Lake almost all of my life with friends and family to boat and enjoy the beaches. The campground is rather pleasant, if small and the spots are pretty close to one another. Mostly geared to RV's, tent camping is loud and not the most fun. We wouldn't go here for hiking and only to enjoy the lake. The beach is great for dogs but we got kicked out because we didn't have a spot when literally no one was in the park. That sours my opinion of the campground but overall, if you are a boater and RVer it is one of the best spots in the region.

This campground was super cool because it was a little "out dated" but it made it cozy! So many beautiful trees and walking paths that it made the stay great. We would get up in the morning and do a short hike that was nearby, and then finish it off with one of the walking paths around the campground, then had breakfast. It was a great way to start the day. They offer RV sites as well as small cabins you can rent. My family and I took our RV, and had a blast. The sites were big enough for the RV and had a picnic table and fire ring within the site. We didn't feel like we were right on top of our neighbors either which was nice. There is a lake within walking distance, so we would head down there during the day. Dogs are allowed, but need to be on leashes. We brought our dog and he had a blast in the lake. They have a volleyball court set up as well as horse shoes which was fun! You can also rent stand up paddle boards from the front desk to take down to the lake. They also have a club house that has a pool table, although we didn't partake in this. There is an area where you can do laundry too, which we thought was pretty cool. This is definitely considered "glamping" to us :) There is also a boat launch if you need that too. We caught some really awesome weather while we stayed here which made the trip amazing! We will definitely be back.

Perfect little spot for a nice cheap overnight stay on the way through Oklahoma. Not far from Walmart so it was a good place to restock the fridge!

This is a new park. Very well layer out. Easy access to all sites. The management is fantastic and extremely helpful. This is a great place for all types of visits to the Tulsa/Bristow Oklahoma area.

Site #5 was level with plenty of shade. Wide picnic/patio area was clean. There was quite a drop off on 2 sides of this nicely spaced wide site. You could see the glimmer of water through the trees but really just a wooded view. The sun would shine directly on site around noon but mornings and evenings were pleasant. Bathhouse was updated and clean with individual shower stall in each of the 4 areas. Unfortunately there was little water pressure at the bathouse and just disappointing warm water in shower. (UPDATE- WIFE said she had plenty of hot water and she never she's that.) All sites share water but this particular one was too far away for nearest site to share. FYI, Water at site really high pressure, have regulator ready. Gate attendant was polite and actually on post nearly all the time. The lake itself is massive. Had no idea just how big until we saw from a distance. Wish we had a boat to take advantage. We had plenty of areas for walking the dogs. Overall we enjoyed this COE more than others mainly because of the upkeep.

Skiatook(15 min) has a multitude of places to eat. Fast food to actual sit down restaurants are everywhere. I recommend Mac's BBQ.

I have stayed there many times this past year.  My son lives there full time.  The staff is great.  Very helpful and courteous.  I've gotten to know some of the residents and yes, the majority are full time residents.  Not a lot of room to open up awnings but for anyone who knows Oklahoma you don't open them up often anyway if you want to keep them.

This RV park is a no frills park located in Okemah, Oklahoma.  It was 5 minurtes from I-40 in a very green setting.  

The operators were kind and helpful. Theyn kept in touch with us for our ETA to make sure we could find the spot. 

Very inexpensive for a 1 night stop on our way cross the country!

We were here for a 3-day stop to visit friends. It has been around for some time right off Route 66. The staff were friendly, and we were given our choice of where to camp. Our spot was a pull-through, not completely level, but that wasn't a problem for us. The campground was clean and very comfortable. The only downside is the red dirt that is easy to track into your camper, Its Oklahoma.

We stayed on campsite 39. It was by the boat ramp. We were there at the first of April and it was beautiful. Scores of down and dead oak laying all around the campgrounds. Vault toilets were fairly clean on our side. Its pretty quiet but I’m fairly sensitive to road noise when I’m camping. And I can hear the highway for sure. But I haven’t found a place in Oklahoma where I can’t so far.
