Roman Nose State Park accepts pets at both tent and RV sites as well as in cabin accommodations. The park features multiple camping areas including Cedar Cove, Canyon Vista, Beaver Den, and Two Lakes campgrounds, all with picnic tables and fire pits. Full hookup sites are available for RVs, while tent campers can choose from drive-in or walk-in options. The park's natural springs provide a refreshing spot for visitors and their dogs during hot summer days. Dogs must remain leashed throughout the campground and on all trails. Many campers report the Cedar Cove area offers more peaceful surroundings with less traffic compared to the busier Canyon Vista area.
Several hiking trails throughout Roman Nose State Park accommodate leashed dogs, including the Spring Loop Trail and Inspiration Point Trail which offers moderate terrain with some steep grades. Additional pet-friendly activities include fishing at the stocked trout lake and exploring the natural springs. The park store stocks basic pet supplies and snacks. Canton Lake campgrounds like Blaine Park and Canadian Campground also welcome pets, though facilities are more limited with no sewer hookups or showers at most sites. Visitors with dogs report enjoying the hiking trails most, as the trails are well-marked with plenty of shade and wildlife viewing opportunities. The park's bathrooms and shower facilities are clean and well-maintained for campers returning from trail adventures with their pets.

All the sites were immaculate. Hosts were easy to communicate and work with. We both work remotely. Was $3 an hour after noon. Worth the $15 to have to move during the work day.

Territory Route 66 RV Park & Campgrounds
Get your kicks at Territory Route 66!!
We absolutely loved it! The prices are great and so are the amenities. Carol was a perfect hostess. She brought drinks to our camper, spent time talking with us and giving us helpful hints for our journey. The bathrooms are large and clean. It was wonderful to be able to do our laundry inexpensively while on the road as well. We can't recommend Territory Route 66 enough. If we are ever back in the area we will be sure to stop again and you should too.
Our son who is nine also wanted to add his review so here it is: Hey everyone I am leaving a five star review but kind of mad that I can't leave a bigger star for review because this place deserves 50000 stars! If you come down this way make sure that you stop here. It's been my favorite so far and we've come all the way from Chicago so I've stopped a lot of places. Make sure you say hi to Ms. Carol. She's real sweet!
Brandalynn A.GuideRoman Nose State Park — Roman Nose State Resort Park
Beautiful area to hike and camp.
I have fallen in love with Roman Nose. It quickly became one of my favorite tent camping spots. There are RV spots, cabins and a few teepees to choose from as well as an array of tent camping spots to choose from. The little store has EVERYTHING you could think of including firewood so no worries, if you have forgotten something they have your back! The creek is fantastic for a dip and if you’re a polar bear it is ice cold even in August. Lots of trails for hiking, a little pond to fish in. I was even able to hit a garage sale on one trip! If you’re looking for a pool they have that too!! The showers and potties are top notch. If you are an equestrian, they can accommodate you too.

Very clean & well maintained…
This entire place is cared for pretty well. Had a great little one night hammock at a campsite by the water. Beautiful views as the sun set as well!

Guide to Watonga
Roman Nose State Park covers 600 acres of red sandstone canyons in central Oklahoma with elevations ranging from 1,600 to 1,750 feet. The park experiences hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F and mild winters. Natural springs maintain a constant 58°F water temperature year-round, creating unique microclimates within the canyon system.
What to do
Hiking the trails: Roman Nose State Park features multiple hiking trails with varying difficulty levels. Justin J. notes that there are "amazing trails and great views" throughout the park. For more challenging terrain, try the Inspiration Point Trail which offers moderate difficulty with some steeper sections.
Fishing opportunities: Big Bend Park on Canton Lake provides excellent fishing access. According to Jerry N., "the campsite was right on the lake, with a nice evening breeze and trees to shade from the sun." During winter months, William A. mentions that "the lake provides great Trout Fishing that is stocked every 2 weeks" at Roman Nose.
Outdoor recreation: Beyond hiking and fishing, the parks offer diverse activities. Richard notes that Roman Nose has "miniature golf, paddle boats, hiking trails, golf course and pool. There is a little store and restaurant in the park. You can even rent a teepee for the night."
What campers like
Natural springs: The cool spring water provides relief during hot Oklahoma summers. Nohemy T. shares, "after a day of hiking we love to go wade in the springs. Nice and refreshing." The springs maintain a consistent temperature year-round, making them popular spots for cooling off.
Canyon landscapes: Red Rock Canyon Adventure Park offers dramatic red sandstone formations. According to Morgan K., "the campsites are in the canyon along the canyon walls" providing a unique camping setting. Lyn B. describes it as "a hidden gem in Hinton OK" where "as we traveled the main road into the park, we literally dropped into another world."
Abundant shade: Many campgrounds feature mature trees that provide essential shade during summer months. Leslie N. observed at Big Bend Park that "since sites are on different levels, most everyone has a good view of the lake. Sites are not too close and are at an angle, which makes it more private."
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: The area experiences distinct seasons affecting camping conditions. William A. recommends Roman Nose State Park "during the Fall and Winter months" when trout fishing is at its peak. Some campgrounds like Longdale have limited operating seasons from April 1 to October 31.
Site selection matters: The campground layout affects your experience. Leslie N. advises, "Cedar Cove had water & electric and seemed to be the sites with least traffic & felt a bit more peaceful. Canyon Vista is very crowded, open & only for those that enjoy knowing their neighbors well."
Reservation requirements: Most dog friendly campgrounds near Watonga require reservations, especially during peak seasons. Territory Route 66 RV Park offers easy online booking. Katie T. suggests: "Booked when we arrived. Easy to do online. I recommend doing it early if you know when you will be there."
