13 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Lake Texoma State Park accommodates pets at all of its camping areas near Kingston, Oklahoma. The park maintains designated pet-friendly sites at Catfish Bay, Johnson Creek, and Caney Creek campgrounds, with clean grounds and level RV pads. Most sites include water and electric hookups, covered picnic tables, and fire rings where dogs can relax alongside their owners. The bathrooms in the campgrounds are generally well maintained with private toilet, sink, and shower facilities. Guests note that bathhouses are kept exceptionally clean at Caney Creek campground, though access may be limited to only one facility during off-peak seasons.
Lakeside Campground offers pet-friendly sites with water and electric hookups in sections organized alphabetically, with Section B providing 50-amp service ideal for RVs with pets. The asphalt sites are generally well-spaced to provide privacy when camping with animals. Burns Run East and West campgrounds both welcome pets with accessible shore areas where dogs can enjoy water access. Sand burrs are present in multiple locations throughout some campgrounds, requiring careful inspection of pet paws after walks. The peninsula areas at Preston Bend provide particularly scenic spots for pet owners with concrete pads and beautiful sunrise and sunset views over the water, though campers should be prepared to immediately treat for ants upon arrival to prevent infestations in campers and tents.

"Decent beach access but it’s texoma so don’t expect too much lol Great fishing set back in the cove and next to the dam."

"Needs signage at main entrance with directions of campsite numbers. Our rig is 50’ and is probably the max size for this campground. Any larger is going to have difficulty maneuvering."

"One big issue with this park is the distance to the actual lake itself."
"When you first drive into the park, to the left they are in the process of building an entire new section and it looks nice. I wish they would do some upkeep on the rest of the park as well."
GuideThe KOA is clean and well maintained. There is lits of space for the pull throughs. Dog park is amazing, host are friendly and kind. They are very welcoming and the store is small, but clean with a little bit of everything for everyone! We will definitely be back!
TravelerSuper easy in and out. Pretty much every amenity that you would want at a very modern campground.
TravelerRed River RV Resort (Deluxe) in Thackerville OK is a hot mess to be polite. The entire campground is covered with goathead sand burrs. It's impossible to go outside and enjoy any part of the campground. If you do go out you have to be very careful not to bring any of the sand burrs into the camper. The property owner / management knows of the campground issues but they're not doing anything to fix the issues. The pool and hot tub are disgusting, both have green slimy water with leaves, dirt and whatever else blew into it. The community room is locked and you have to ask at the office to get access. The community room has multiple TV's but none if them turn on so whats point in having them. On the good side it has two nice pool tables so its has some purpose. The gym area is packed with equipment but looks more like a storage locker than a gym.The campground has a good laundry room and okay WIFI. The showers are okay, older facilty but it all works. It has a fenced dog park but again It's covered with sand burrs so its unuseable. There's several empty/abandonded campers through out the campground. We went down the street to the local public park, sadly the park is unuseable as well due to the sand burrs being everywhere. It appears sand burrs are a bigger issue in the area and just not only at the campground. The campsites have full hook ups, some of the sewer hose tubes have caps while others don't. The neighboring campsite sewer connection didnt have a sewer cap and it has a huge wolf spider living in it.... we had planned to stay the full 14 days but leaving early due to the 8 billion sand burrs. Our dog is unable to walk in the grass, dirt, pavement without a paw full of sand burrs. I'm very disappointed C2C thinks this is a deluxe campground, I would be embarrassed to be in any way connected to it. There's other campgrounds in the area that have similar nightly cost ($40 - $50) if I was to pay outside of the C2C members rate with useable grass yards, clean useable swimming pools and community rooms. This could be an amazing campground if someone would fix the issues. As it stands now I would avoid this campground at all costs.
GuideThis is a very small campground with a central bathroom/showers up the hill from the campsites. The lake means bugs. The bathrooms were not terrible. The showers were clean-ish.
TravelerWonderful big camping sites. Water and electric with picnic tables. Pretty water views of Lake Arbuckle. Quiet. Excellent walking with pets.
GuideFolks want different things out of campsites. For me, it's scenic beauty, quiet for work and mental health, and nice places to take my dog. This checks all the boxes!
None of my reviews will be useful for amenities or activities because I just don't use them. I can't tell you about bathrooms, fishing, etc. I can tell you the water is very soft and feels slick or soapy even after you rinse. I have onboard reverse osmosis and wouldn't recommend drinking city water anywhere in Texas. There's too much oil production here and gas and chemicals are all over.
The staff at the gate were pleasant and said, "You must be David," when I pulled in, which was very nice and made it easy and welcoming.
Texas has many undiscovered and wonderful public lands, whether you're really camping or just working remote, watching the deer, or seeing the sunrise over a lake from your bedroom window. Get out here and come see them!
LegendGot here after Labor day weekend and mostly all to ourselves.
ScoutGreat place to camp for a few nights. Boat ramp, clean showers, Lakeview, swimming, fishing, campfires. Clean, safe place to enjoy yourself.
GuideWe needed an overnight spot on our way back home to Texas, and we're so glad that we picked this park! Easy on and easy off of Highway 69, and It's located right next to the Choctaw Casino complex.
Parking for registration is located right by the office, and all the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is very easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. Even though it's not too far from the main road, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all.
We were assigned to pull-thru site number 41. All the sites are concrete and appear fairly level. Our site was level side to side, and a few inches off from front to rear. There are very few shade trees for the majority of the park sites. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was okay, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. There is also a picnic table and a covered trash can located at each site.
Bathrooms, Showers, laundry facilities, and the pool are all located at the registration office building and are in great shape. In fact, they are the cleanest and nicest facilities that we've ever experienced at an RV park. They are on par with what you would expect at a 5-Star resort.
Wi-Fi, Satellite, OTA: there is free Wi-Fi in the park with numerous repeater towers, so each site has a fairly strong signal- we achieved 101 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. We got AT&T 5G with 3 bars and achieved 330 Mbps down and 11.3 Mbps up. If you need clear access for satellite reception, trees will not be an issue. Also, you can pick up approximately 50 OTA stations with good HD quality reception.
Dog Park: They have a nice fenced-in park that is divided into two separate areas. They provide doggie bags and a trash can.
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website. They have a propane area where you can fill your existing tanks, exchange tanks, or even buy new tanks. They also have RV supplies and parts located in the office area.
Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. They provide free shuttle service to the Casino Complex that has plenty of restaurants and a multi-screen movie theater. The park map provides a very accurate rendition of the park. See my attached photos for more details.
Bottom line- this park is owned by the Choctaw Nation and is part of the Casino Complex. So, the RV park is maintained at an exceptional level since income from the RV park is not critical. They just want their RV guests to have a first-class experience. Even if you don't gamble or dine out, take the free shuttle over to the casino complex just to see what it offers. It's truly a Vegas-like experience. This park deserves its high rating, and I do not hesitate to recommend it!

Hiking trails: Burns Run West offers equestrian and hiking paths connecting to nearby areas. "There is a long equestrian trail that goes over to Lakeside Park across the lake that can also be hiked pretty easily that has a couple secluded spots to swim along the way. The trail is well marked and easy to follow," notes one visitor at Platter Flats Campground.
Fishing opportunities: Many campgrounds provide direct lake access for fishing. At Burns Run East Campground, visitors can fish from the rocky shoreline. "Great area for fishing, water sports and camping. We had fun on Lake Texoma and will be returning. This is a small, well kept campground," reports a regular visitor.
Swimming access: Several campgrounds offer beach areas with sand for swimming. A reviewer at Paradise on Lake Texoma notes: "Texas and Oklahoma's border share the 89,000 surface area of Lake Texoma which just happens to be the 12th largest Corps of Engineers lake in the U.S.... Believe it or not, Lake Texoma has sandy beaches!"
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept restrooms and shower areas. At Eisenhower State Park Campground, visitors appreciate the upkeep: "Bathrooms are always clean. Fellow campers are very friendly. We love Eisenhower state park."
Spacious campsites: Several campgrounds provide ample space between sites. "The sites are a good size and had lots of shade. We had an amazing view of the lake! We stayed at site 13 on loop B and we were located close to the bath house, which was very convenient," reports a camper about Burns Run West.
Lake views: Many sites offer direct views of Lake Texoma. A visitor at Lakeside notes: "Most sites are water and electric, no sewer sites. There are 2 dump sites on the way out... Sites are asphault and generally spaced apart so you are not right on top of each other."
Seasonal variations: Some facilities reduce operations during off-peak times. A camper at COE Lake Texoma Burns Run West reports: "We visit all the time every summer. They keep it very nice. Lots of shade trees."
Bugs and wildlife: Prepare for common pests when camping. "Sand burrs are noted in multiple locations throughout the park. I had 5G 4 bars with T Mobile," mentions a visitor at Lakeside Campground.
Weather impacts: Summer heat affects comfort at exposed sites. "Not a lot of shade here, so summer would be sweltering. We stayed early October and it was great weather. Good shore fishing but not a lot of hiking and such close by," notes a visitor at Lake Texoma State Park.
Beach activities: Several dog-friendly campgrounds near Kingston offer sandy shorelines. At Lake Texoma State Park, "Our site was right on the lake. Luckily no one was in the site next to us, so we enjoyed a gentle slope down to the water... The water was fantastic for swimming right off our site!"
Playground access: Some campgrounds provide play areas for children. A visitor to Burns Run East mentioned: "Picnic table, fire ring, grill, dump station, flush and pit toilets, showers, drinking water, trash, 2 boat ramps, a dock, playground and beach."
Nature exploration: Local wildlife viewing opportunities abound for kids. "If you don't have a boat you'll regret it, but there are some hikes nearby too," notes a visitor at Eisenhower State Park.
Hookup options: Most campgrounds offer electric and water connections, but not all have sewer at each site. A camper at Lakeside notes: "Section B is 50 amp. Sites are water and electric, no sewer sites. There are 2 dump sites on the way out."
Site selection: Consider location within the campground based on shade and proximity to amenities. "We were in the wooded campground across the street from the lake with concrete pads, shaded sites, nice spacing between sites, and full hookups. Whoever designed this campground did a great job. Campsites along the lake had great views, but were much closer together," reports a visitor at Burns Run West.
Road conditions: Interior roads vary in quality across campgrounds. "The road into and around the park was okay, there was room to drive around the entire park while looking for a spot," reports a visitor at Thousand Trails Lake Texoma.
