    Sallisaw-Fort Smith West KOA's designated Kamp K9 area provides off-leash space for dogs while maintaining clean facilities throughout the campground. Campers can access full hookup RV sites, tent camping areas, cabins, and glamping options that welcome pets with proper supervision. Sites feature level pads with gravel and concrete along with picnic tables and fire rings. The bathrooms remain consistently clean with good showers, important for campers traveling with muddy dogs. Pets must remain leashed when outside designated pet areas, with waste disposal stations available throughout the property. The campground's fenced dog area offers space for pets to run freely after long travel days in vehicles. Most campsites have mature trees providing shade, essential for keeping pets cool during summer months.

    Applegate Cove Campground's spacious sites near the Arkansas River welcome dogs with well-maintained grounds and two playgrounds. The walking loop down to the river provides excellent sunset views and exercise opportunities for both campers and their canine companions. Water access points allow dogs to cool off during hot Oklahoma days, though owners should watch for river barge traffic from the nearby Robert S. Kerr Lock and Dam. The campground features 27 sites with electric and water hookups, plus a dump station and courtesy dock for fishing enthusiasts. Brushy Lake State Park Campground offers another pet-friendly option with a quiet, family-oriented atmosphere around a small watershed lake. The walking trail located at the back of the park provides additional exercise opportunities for dogs, with clean campsites recently updated by the City of Sallisaw.

      Springhill

      Beautiful Park!

      We stayed in the a loop, a 11. Honestly, the pads look brand new, level, convenient to power and water hook up. The table is on a separate gravel pad all nice and clean. We loved watching the birds over the water, took a nice walk and watched our neighbor fish! It was very quiet at night and peaceful. A few people mentioned planes flying over and around 4 o’clock on arrival day we did hear quite a few planes, but that was it. The bath houses were very nice and clean and efficient. A large room with shower, sink and toilet. We felt safe and relaxed! The only thing I didn’t like is that I only booked one night and it’s time to go… We will definitely camp here again.

      Xtreme RV Resort

      Nice location on Lake Eufaula. The sites are large, level and nicely paved. They have 2 pools but the outside one was closed. Train is kinda noisy at night. There is some trash around the grassy areas. For a resort its okay, only reason we came is we have friends here..they need a hot tub! Theres a liquor store but we don’t drink but some may like that..

      Riverfront RV Resort

      I’m rating 5 stars as it fits the bill for RV Park Vs campground. Very spacious sites and very clean as it is only 3 years old. Easy to reserve, easy access, nice staff. Facilities are all clean and connections are layed-out properly. There are trees in the park which are still small but will eventually grow taller. Pull through Sites have concrete pad and fire ring. Fires were allowed and wood is available for $10 per bundle. There is a beautiful river walk trail that is wide and paved and will actually lead into downtown Fort Smith about 1 mile away. Massive shade tress along the river walk trail. Wildlife spotted along the river and occasional barge traffic on the river. Fort Smith has some unique history like the hanging judge Parker. Plenty of stores and restaurants in and around the town. Easy access to I-40. Had no problem driving travel trailer through city streets to get around. I plan to visit again and will make sure it’s in a cool season. We were here in October and it was quite warm.

      Shores Lake

      A slightly below average quality camping spot. It's not a state park which probably explains it. It is managed by the Forest Service. All the expected amenities available.

      Convenient stop-off right off I-40

      Convenient stop-off right off I-40. The gated entrance provides added security, and there are plenty of spots available. Most sites have sewer hookups, which is a big plus. The campground is fairly quiet, making it a great option for an overnight stay while traveling. Would recommend!

      Gentry Creek Landing

      Nice campground

      Really clean bathrooms. Spots are small and tight so bigger rigs I’d be cautious. Really nice lake views.

      Dam Site Campground at Fort Gibson

      Army Corp Engineer Camp Ground. It's not free and it's temporary closed

      Dam Site Closure- The west side of Dam Site(including the Dam Site North boat ramp) will be closed beginning May 17, 2026 for the bridge deck replacement across the Fort Gibson dam. Highway 251A will be gated just past the Overlook entrance road. Access will be restricted to construction and Corps personnel only. Area will be closed for a minimum of 2 1/2 years. Dam Site East fishing wall and the Overlook areas will remain open.

      I was planning to go to this site. The Dyrt says it's free dispersed camping and that's incorrect. It's an Army Corps Engineer camp ground, so there will be fees.
