Blue River Campground permits dogs and cats throughout its primitive camping areas along the clear waters of Blue River. Tent and RV campers with pets can access numerous wooded sites without hookups but must maintain control of their animals at all times. Johnson Creek Campground and Lake Texoma State Park also welcome pets at their campsites, offering water and electric hookups for RVers traveling with animals. Hwy 22 RV Park provides full hookups for pet owners with designated pet relief areas. Campers should note that Blue River Camp requires all visitors, including those only camping without fishing, to purchase either an Oklahoma fishing license or a 3-day wildlife conservation passport currently priced at $51 for legal entry with pets.
Dogs enjoy swimming access at Blue River's clear water spots where owners can see fish in the water. Several hiking trails alongside the river accommodate leashed pets, though owners should remain vigilant for snakes, particularly copperheads and rattlesnakes, which are common in the area. Campers report finding the best pet-friendly campsites at Blue River by continuing down the gravel roads away from the main bathroom facility, where waterfront sites offer direct river access. The campground contains numerous secluded spots for those seeking privacy with their pets, especially during weekdays when the area sees fewer visitors. Scotty's bait shop near Blue River provides supplies and local fishing advice for campers with pets. Most campgrounds enforce standard leash policies, and raccoons can be aggressive toward food left accessible, requiring proper storage of pet food overnight.

1. Blue River Campground
"The camping is free but you must have an Oklahoma fishing license rather your fishing or not to camp there."
"This place is a gem and is the only natural aquifer left in Oklahoma. You have to have fishing licenses to enter. I thought that was very strange provided we only camp to camp and swim."

Red River Ranch RV Resort
Red 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.

GuideChoctaw RV Park
This park is a first-class resort!
We 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!
David B.GuideKing RV Park
The new king of RV parks near Winstar
King RV Park not only sets a high standard for RV visitors to the Winstar casino area, it's a model of how American business and customer service should be conducted!
As a small business owner myself, I'm always impressed when I meet someone like Huy Ho who is not satisfied with just doing enough. He's committed to going the extra mile to make his guests feel welcome and wanted and eager to return. That's a rare quality these days and it needs to come back.
I won't spoil the story with the details of all the ways King RV Park went out of their way to help me, a first time RV driver on my first night in a park... ever! What's great about this place is that they adapt to you, and you'll leave with your own special stories of the time you spend there.
If you're planning to get an Uber from the park to the casino, try asking for a ride instead because Uber doesn't respond, even though the casino is 2 miles away. They will pick you up there and bring you back, however.
If you're stopping in Oklahoma, visiting the Texas Panhandle like I was (Pro tip: King RV Park is an easy one day drive to Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which is nothing short of spectacular!), or just want to be near the world's largest casino (you can see it from your rig), don't hesitate to call Mr. Ho directly or reserve online. You'll be glad you did!

Do Drop Inn RV Resort
Nice Park!
Not too far from Highway 75 and the Choctaw Resort. Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. No road noise- very quiet.
First things first - be prepared for a longer-than-usual registration process. I've never had a registration process require as much information, or take as long as this one did. You will need the driver's license of every person in your party - adults and teenagers. They will scan and retain each of them. You will need to provide actual copies of the insurance policies for both your RV and your tow (or Toad) vehicle, along with the license plate numbers for all vehicles. If you are using a Good Sam's discount, make sure that you have the membership number and expiration date.
Most check-in procedures at parks take a couple of minutes, but not here. Thank goodness we were the only ones checking in, or it would have been a lengthy ordeal. So, be prepared in advance and have all of this with you to speed up the process. At first, I couldn't figure out why they required all of this information, then it dawned on me- this is predominantly a park for full-time residents, and that would be the information they'd require of people living there.
It's off the beaten path, so you're not going to get that many travelers. As we walked through the park, I noticed that close to 100% of the rigs are full-timers. In my experience, most parks that cater to full-timers are kind of sketchy and don't really appeal to travelers - not this one. This is labeled as a resort, and it probably is the nicest RV park that we've ever visited that is predominantly full-timers.
Please don't have any reservations about staying here, as you will feel welcome. We were assigned to pull-through site number 40. All the sites are concrete and appear level. 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 very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located.
Bathrooms, Showers, and Laundry are all located on the back side of the office building and are in great shape with a keyed entry. There is great Wi-Fi in the park with repeaters near all the sites. We had AT&T 5G with 2 bars. Starlink reception was not an issue due to no large trees. Their website lists all of the amenities, and I've included photos of the park. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. This park deserves its high rating, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy!
Guide to Milburn
Lake Texoma and the Blue River areas near Milburn, Oklahoma sit along the Red River basin at approximately 700 feet elevation. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 95°F and mild winters, making spring and fall the preferred camping seasons. The limestone terrain creates unique water features including natural springs and rocky creek beds throughout the camping areas.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Blue River Camp provides access to trout fishing in cooler months. "We went on a Tuesday so there wasn't any one else there. We did some awesome exploring up and down the river," notes Carrie T., though she adds, "The fishing however is not good. We stayed for 3 days and fished the whole time with no luck."
Hiking trails: Several campgrounds offer walking paths through wooded areas. At Buckhorn Campground, campers can access multiple trail options. "We hiked the Bromide Hill and Bison Overlook trails for some really nice views," reports Jasmine M., who also notes that "nearby swimming areas at Little Niagara and Travertine Creek were very packed during the day."
Swimming spots: Natural water access points provide relief from summer heat. "The water was amazing and clean," says Carrie T. about Blue River Camp, adding "There's a really neat little spot south of the dam with a rope swing." At Lake Texoma, Kate S. found that "The water was fantastic for swimming right off our site!"
What campers like
Privacy and seclusion: Many campers value finding quiet spots away from crowds. At Boggy Depot State Park, Melanie W. notes it's "very shady with over a hundred camping spots. There was only 2 other campers staying there." She adds it's "remote in the country nestled in very old oak trees which makes it beautiful."
Historical sites: Some campgrounds offer cultural attractions beyond natural features. "A very neat place for people that are interested in civil war history," says Melanie W. about Boggy Depot, explaining it "received its name from Clear Boggy Creek and was originally used as a depot for the Chickasaw and Choctaw people as they arrived in Indian Territory during the removal."
Clean facilities: Choctaw RV Park receives praise for maintenance standards. "The bathroom and shower area was immaculate and felt like a nicer hotel," according to Stephen K., who also mentions "the sites are spacious pull through sites" and notes "there's a small pond that had Canadian geese swimming in it."
What you should know
License requirements: Access to some recreation areas requires specific permits. "To enter the grounds you need a hunting/fishing license or a 3day wildlife conservation passport. The passport is for any activity on the grounds, excluding hunting or fishing and they are $51 currently," warns Lora about Blue River Camp.
Wildlife awareness: Eisenhower State Park and other area campgrounds have active wildlife. Melanie W. recommends visitors at Boggy Depot "remain vigilant" as they explore, while multiple campers note encounters with raccoons and various bird species throughout the region.
Seasonal crowding: Several campgrounds experience significant visitor fluctuations. Jon S. notes about Lake Texoma State Park, "Not a lot of shade here, so summer would be sweltering. We stayed early October and it was great weather." Similarly, Jasmine M. found that swimming areas at Buckhorn Campground were "very packed during the day, so we only visited during the early morning."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Milburn provide dedicated play areas. Stephen K. mentions Choctaw RV Park has "a kids playground, nice pool, and dog play area," making it suitable for families with both children and pets.
Swimming safety: Natural water features require supervision. Jasmine M. advises "bring water shoes" when visiting swimming areas at Buckhorn Campground, while Carrie T. highlights Blue River's "amazing and clean" water conditions for family swimming activities.
Historical education: Johnson Creek Campground and surrounding parks offer learning opportunities. Tana found Boggy Depot has "lots of history here. Look it up before you come visit or learn as you go," adding it features a "playground and little ponds to fish at. Cemetery is pretty old and interesting."
Tips from RVers
Hookup availability: Pet-friendly RV sites vary widely in amenities. According to Richard, Lake Texoma State Park offers waterfront sites that "didn't have a sewer hookup, which was kind of disappointing but we made it work," though the park does provide a dump station.
Site selection: Level pads are essential for larger rigs. Jason H. notes about Johnson Creek Campground, "Our rig is 50' and is probably the max size for this campground. Any larger is going to have difficulty maneuvering," but he appreciated the "bathhouse very clean" and "dump station easy to access."
Reservation process: Many Milburn-area campgrounds with pet accommodations use online booking. Jason H. reports "Reservation procedure is seamless via Recreation.gov" for Johnson Creek, while others mention direct booking options at private campgrounds like Choctaw RV Park.
