Blue River Camp, a dispersed camping area near Tishomingo, allows pets throughout its primitive sites along the Blue River. Campers with dogs have access to tent and RV camping options with drive-in and walk-in access, though the campground lacks electric hookups, drinking water, and picnic tables. The Blue River Campground, another pet-friendly option in the area, features approximately 80 campsites along the banks of the clear river. The campground maintains primitive facilities with vault toilets but no showers or electric hookups. Both locations require pets to remain leashed at all times, with campers responsible for proper waste disposal.
Hiking trails near these pet-friendly campgrounds provide opportunities for dogs to explore alongside their owners, though visitors should remain vigilant for wildlife including snakes. The Blue River's clear waters offer swimming opportunities, though the cold temperature may deter some dogs from entering. Campers should note that while camping at Blue River is free, visitors must possess a valid Oklahoma fishing license regardless of whether they plan to fish. The primitive nature of these campgrounds means pet owners should pack sufficient water for themselves and their animals, especially during warmer months. Nearby Lake Texoma State Park also welcomes pets with more developed facilities including water hookups and showers.

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!

Guide to Tishomingo
Blue River Camp, located in the Arbuckle Mountains region, offers dispersed camping sites in a unique natural environment. The area sits on Oklahoma's last natural aquifer, with clear waters flowing over rock ledges forming pools and small waterfalls. Campers should prepare for varied weather conditions, with summer temperatures frequently exceeding 90°F and winter nights sometimes dropping below freezing.
What to do
Explore the castle ruins: Turner Falls Park near Tishomingo features historic castle ruins you can climb. "Be sure to take the time to explore 'the castle' it is Huge and if you can make it to the top you'll be rewarded with a view," notes one visitor to Turner Falls Park.
Fish in stocked waters: Blue River gets stocked with trout in the colder months. "Stayed during Thanksgiving, after Blue River was stocked with Trout, fishing was awesome. Great family camping and fishing," reports Hope F. at Blue River Campground.
Watch for wildlife: Early mornings and evenings offer the best opportunities for wildlife viewing. "3 deer passed right by our campsite with no fear. And I watched a family of squirrels having a good day in a tree we had our tarp tied to," shares Erin-Frannie R. at The Point Campground.
What campers like
Clear, cold water: The Blue River's unusually clear water makes it popular despite its temperature. "The water is amazing and clean. 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. at Blue River Camp.
Stargazing opportunities: The area's relatively dark skies provide excellent conditions for stargazing. "Stars are bright and it is generally very peaceful," writes Tracy C. about her experience at Blue River.
Seasonal variations: Visiting in different seasons offers completely different experiences. "Local told us that during and winter it was the best time because of the colorful leaves and the temperature," explains jasmine L. at Lake Murray State Park.
What you should know
License requirements: Blue River Camp has specific entry requirements beyond camping fees. "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 at Blue River Camp.
Wildlife hazards: Be aware of potentially dangerous wildlife in the area. "There are some snakes, so be watchful, but they don't bother us ever," mentions Tracy C. about camping at Blue River.
Vault toilet locations: At some campgrounds, toilet facilities may be inconveniently located. "The bathrooms were down the road a bit, but still fairly close. They were large, clean, and well stocked," reports Megan B. about Buckhorn Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Seek quieter weekdays: For pet-friendly campgrounds near Tishomingo with fewer crowds, try midweek visits. "We went on a Tuesday so there wasn't any one else there. We did some awesome exploring up and down the river," shares Carrie T. about Blue River Camp.
Check tent site availability: The Point Campground often has tent sites available even when RV spots are full. "We found all of the tent sites at The Point were empty. I don't know why, the energy was much calmer and quieter," notes Erin-Frannie R. at The Point Campground.
Pack food securely: Wildlife may try to access your food. "The raccoons can be aggressive, keep your food put up in your car or a cooler and throw away your trash nightly unless you want to pick it up in pieces the next day," warns Tracy C. about camping at Blue River.
Tips for RVers
Prepare for uneven sites: Some campgrounds have challenging terrain for leveling. "Just beware if you are camping in an RV, the site is VERY unlevel! We we're in a pop up camper and had one tire up off the ground at least 6 inches with our Baleveler," cautions Gina H. about her experience at Buckhorn Campground.
Water hookup locations: Check the distance to water hookups when selecting your site. "We didn't realize we would need 50 feet of hose just to hook up to the water," reports Jordan H. about their stay at Elephant Rock Campground.
Consider seasonal options: For dog-friendly RV camping near Tishomingo in winter months, less crowded options exist. "Camped at Catfish bay after seeing Turner falls, it's peaceful," notes David T. about Lake Texoma State Park during the off-season.
