Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Purcell, OK

Beautiful campground with plenty of amenities at a great price. The spaces were a good size to fit our 45’ toyhauler with 2 vehicles (and put the back patio down). There are a fair bit of trees, so big rigs use caution pulling into spaces.

Nice playground for the kids, pool was closed (opens Memorial Day to Labor Day), dog park is large and very well shaded. Laundry room is very clean and well kept.

Approximately 20-30 minutes from OKC zoo & science museum.

Overall wonderful stay with no complaints.

For tent camping only, no electric hookups, no water hookups, there are toilets with running water but no showers and pets are allowed.

We got to pet the Alpacas and the 3 Great Pyrenees kept us company. We camped early Jan and it was cold. Kathy was very friendly and helpful.

Camp sites are very close together. Bathrooms are in a serious need of an update. Lake is about half a mile away from campground. There are little stickers everywhere that get into your pets fur and gets trapped in carpets forcing you to trash any rugs. Picnic tables are on the back side of the camp site to impossible to use.

One of my favorite places! Go! You will NOT be disappointed. The owners are amazing. There's tons of parking, half of the Campground allows dogs and the other half by the main water hole doesn't, so that's cool for pet owners like me and people who don't want to deal w random peoples dogs. It's clean, safe, water is perfectly clear and clean. Perfect place for small kids and dogs. Your kids will absolutely love it here.. ifyou don't take them, their childhood will be missing this gem of a memory. The only way your going to drowned here, is if your too intoxicated and make a dumb mistake:D sorry I had to say it. Maybe if somehow you fall and hit your head, land face down in the water and no one's with you, or possibly just not watching a baby there could be emergencies, but otherwise, It's perfectly safe. There is no way to drowned or have issues. Its pretty shallow only a few spots are neck deep or deeper to really swim, but there located in spots all up the whole river. Most of the water is ankle, knee and waist deep. And the swimming is so special, Its like a huge cool bath. So clean and refreshing. I love swimming here. The current is like a lazy river. I went all summer 2021. It was literally perfect. There's tables and BBQ pits. You do pay to go so make sure you take some cash. It's like 5-6$ a person and a few bucks for dogs. I've taken my whole family. Everyone just loves it. You and your family will too.

Arrived on a Sunday. Moved to a new site Monday for a long, 3 week stay. 

On Tuesday morning, while walking my dog around the park, was verbally accosted by a long-term camper (onsite for 2 years, per management) because my dog pooped on his grass. Picked up the poop, apologized and moved on. Gentleman came back out (apparently after watching the video he had) and followed me. Move verbal abuse. 

Short-term camper drinking coffee asked me what was going on. Explained and she told the gentleman to"chill out- he picked up the poop". He verbally abused her. 

This was reported to the front office when they opened. Was supposed to be passed on to the manager. My wife, dog and I went to the office a half hour after the manager got in to discuss the situation. He hadn't been briefed by the person taking the report yet.

The manager swore that this gentleman was a loner, kept to himself and"wanted to be left alone". My question - if he"wanted to be left alone", why in the world would he follow me to continue the verbal abuse? And why in the world would he verbally abuse someone not involved in the issue? 

We decided to leave. Worried about the safety for my wife, dog and self. Management would not return our money - park policy. They care more about the money than the safety and security of their clients.

Our dog was attacked Sunday 5/28/2023! The irresponsible owner and dogs are still on the property. The manager told us that is was “between us and them”. Also, there is an employee that lives on site that as far as I could tell does nothing but gets drunk and then drives his pos beat up truck through the campground like an idiot. Spins his tires and slings gravel everywhere. So if walking your pup “at your own risk” or having your expensive rig and/or tow vehicle slapped with gravel sounds like a good time to you then this place is right up your alley. Just do yourself a favor and take your money elsewhere.

We stayed at 62. Not far from most things. But our site was infested with ticks. We’re leaving early because of this. (We brought the dog) other than that, it’s a great place.

The new park manager is very nice, very accommodating and helpful. Park is clean, great fishing off the dam, kayak, carry on boats, and such. The lake is absolutely beautiful, great for family outings and gatherings - there are fire pits for fires, picnic tables, and grills. Great place for the dogs as well, loved walking the dam.

I spent a very relaxing week at The Point Upper Campground at the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. Because my reservation was for seven days, I didn't have a very good choice of sites, but mine was clean, level and had good utilities.  The dump station was easily accessible. Only one complaint is that the wash out hose did not have a threaded hoses connection to attach to my tank flush on my trailer. No big deal, but it would have helped. The Park Service personnel kept the area clean and mowed and had a very good presence in the campground. I checked in on a Sunday and was pretty much alone except for one other site near me until Friday evening when the place filled up QUICK. I'm glad that I checked out the next morning because it was really busy with traffic, kids in the road having fun, and lots of background noise. The Main area of the Rec Area is right off of the main thoroughfare in Sulphur OK where there is a nature center, trails, waterfalls and great swimming holes on the creeks. The Bison herd was in the East pasture and was easily accessible from the Veterans Trail. The herd is small now, but they were expecting some "red dogs" and mamas in the next few days when I was there. Glad to have a new bison herd in Oklahoma. 

The Point Campground is close (5 miles) to fuel, groceries, beer, ice and of course a Wal-Mart. I would recommend this campground. There are several others in CNRA too, and the whole experience is worth the cost of the campsite. Be sure to visit the Nature Center Area, it is located near the waterfalls and creeks. A good side trip, along with the Bison Herd nearby.

The campground at first glance is ok.....with this said not being familiar to this area we had no idea of the campground and its location. Lots of Loitering by non campground patrons. I myself was sexually harassed by the security guard whom is employed by RRP. He was extremely inappropriate multiple times making lude comments and chronic pointless visits to my campsite in which he was so brazen as to physically grope me. Ladies and children beware!!! You aren't allowed to have campfires guests etc nothing for kids to do and god forbid your dog barks. It's not a nice place for extended stays

Twin Fountains is right off where I-35 and I-44 meet in Oklahoma City so it's fairly easy to get to this campground (CG). We were immediately met by staff, handed our info package and escorted to pull through site P-1 with FHUs. Actually, this site is right in front of the main building and on the twin fountains pond. There are utilities on both sides of this site so you can pull in either direction. We went across the street and turned around in the health department parking lot so we could have our door on the pond side. If you arrive during main business hours and there are a lot of cars in the parking lot across the street, larger rigs will do a couple of small curb jumps. The tiny patio with the picnic table on P-1 is right outside your door with the fire pit right beside it and you are sharing your yard with pond visitors. There is no cable TV here but lots of OTA channels. There are a lot of trees in the central CG area so satellite might be iffy. Their WiFi was spotty and poor during our 5 nights stay. There is a lot of road noise no matter where you stay in the CG, and this park packs them in with both full timers and transits. Upside is the park is clean, there’s laundry, pool, putt putt golf, and little restaurant/bar. Due to the CG’s location this is an excellent place to stay to explore OKC. There are two fenced dog runs, one is tiny and the main one is longer, but very narrow. However, across the street from the entrance/exit, there are several sidewalk style walking trails. We routinely visit OKC to visit family and thought we’d give this park a try. Overall, this is a nice park, but it just isn't our style. We prefer state/county parks and so, we'll opt for another location next time we're in town.

Stay with some friends here for a festival in Oklahoma City. The campground was easy to find and very close to Oklahoma City but it was dirty and the fire in the fire pit was still going from the people that have been there the night before.
