    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Natural Falls State Park Campground welcomes pets throughout all camping areas including tent sites, RV spots with full hookups, and cabin accommodations. Dogs must remain leashed within the campground and on all hiking trails. The tent camping area features level sites with fire rings, picnic tables, and access to clean restrooms with showers. RV campers enjoy spacious concrete pads with water, electric, and sewer hookups. The park's 77-foot waterfall attraction is accessible via multiple hiking trails ranging from easy to moderate difficulty, with the main falls viewable from both a wheelchair-accessible overlook and a steeper trail to the canyon floor. The camping areas remain well-maintained with clean facilities that accommodate visitors with pets. The park is particularly busy on weekends during warm-weather months. The Dyrt provides user ratings for locations near Watts, Oklahoma.

    Nearby Pappy's Riverside RV Park also accommodates pets with large open areas ideal for dog walking adjacent to the Illinois River. Campers appreciate the secluded setting where dogs can enjoy watching fireflies over the hayfield during summer evenings. Highwater Camp offers a more primitive pet-friendly experience with electric hookups and picnic tables in a private riverside setting. When hiking with pets, owners should be prepared for encounters with local wildlife including river otters. The trails throughout Natural Falls State Park provide excellent pet exercise opportunities with varying terrain and difficulty levels. The park's location near the Arkansas-Oklahoma border places it within easy driving distance of Siloam Springs for veterinary services and pet supplies if needed. Some sites experience road noise due to proximity to Highway 412, so pet owners concerned about noise sensitivity should request sites further from the road. Dog-friendly campgrounds near Watts span from developed riverside parks to more primitive campsites, giving pet owners multiple options depending on their preferred level of amenities.

      Eureka Springs KOA

      Super clean! Great place!

      I couldn’t get over how clean this facility was. Very kind and accommodating staff. We stayed in a Kamping Kabin with a bunk bed and a full size bed and it was sparkling clean. The pool was sparkling clean as well. Great dog park and children’s park.

      Eureka Springs KOA

      Better than hotel and cat friendly

      No pets in yurts. Yes to Cats ❣️. My cats travel campgrounds and usually are outdoors but here I kept them in cabin because they would not like it outdoors. Cabins had AC but smelled like dust polish. Gorgeous forest views in the shower house. HOT water when shower is on Cold setting. Cold at hot. Cool affordable camp store. Nice people. Too much cinnamon spray in all indoor areas but not cabins. 24 hour rec room w AC and a wall of movies and games and books and cozy couch. Hurricane machine and fresh yummy donuts are not to be missed. My son is Big and found the camp cabin too crowded small and didn't like the leather beds even with our bedding on them. I found it cozy except the polish but couldn't open it up because we wanted the cats indoors here. Great porch swing, nice condition. Microwave and fridge. Friendly staff.

      Crossroads RV Park and Campground

      Affordable

      Stayed for a little over a month for my husband's work. Great monthly rate. The property is currently for sale. There is a laundry/bathhouse (you may need to bring your own TP) with two washers (No change machine), two dryers and propane fill on site (curren owner is not here much/may need to schedule refill time). It appears that they are in the middle of opening a larger laundry/shower house. Lots of grassy areas for pet people and an easy commute for shopping. There is traffic noise as it is off a busy road, music or TV drowns it out. There are many people who live here permanently. I see someone take their trash out daily. This could be why i had to spray a LOT to avoid a roach infestation. There is a nice stray "park dog" and several stray cats. I would stay here again as it is for sale.

      Hog Valley RV & Treehouse Resort

      Nice spot - Lots of amenities

      Hog Valley RV Park is a solid place to stay, especially for families. The amenities are nice, particularly if you have children, with parks, basketball courts, and pickleball courts available. The two pools were closed for the season during our stay, so keep that in mind depending on when you visit.

      The front staff was very welcoming and even escorted us to our spot, which was a nice touch. The park was quiet at night, and the sites were level with full hookups, which made setup easy. There are also plenty of spots available throughout the park.

      A few downsides kept it from being a 5-star stay. The grass was extremely damp, and our dogs got soaked just from laying down. There is also only one trash area, located near the front entrance, which is pretty far from many of the sites. The dog parks were just average, possibly a little below average.

      Overall, it was a good stay with great family-friendly amenities and friendly staff. I’d recommend it, especially for families, but there are a few areas that could be improved.

      Sallisaw-Fort Smith West KOA

      Convenient to I-40

      This is KOA, not my favorite place to stop, but they have good, basic facilities, sort of like Motel 6. They are just off I-40, so it was convenient for a one night stop. The sites were level, and were Pull-Thru so we didn’t even unhook. Full hookups, Some shade, a dump station. The shower/bathroom was clean. There is a small store. They also have cabins and tent sites; Free Wi-Fi, cable tv, a pool and playground, and a pond for fishing. There is a small Kamp K9 (dog park). When we were there everything was wet, and the smell of wet creosote from the log yard next door was terrible.

      Sequoyah State Park - Marina and Cabins

      Beautiful park and campgrounds

      Even in November this is a great place to camp. In the Choctaw loop easy back in or pull thru sites. Very short walk to the lakeshore. Golf course in the park. Pet friendly. Close to tulsa too. There are shops just outside the park if you need propane or charcoal etc. Worth the trip!

      Gorgeous place

      I go here with my friends every summer we hike almost all the trails , it’s gorgeous last time I went there (summer of 23) we saw a wild river otter swimming there is so much wildlife out there and it’s just gorgeous absolutely stunning and worth visiting, family friends and dog / pet friendly if you want to take your dogs on a hike this is the place , has stairs and is not very handicapped accessible if you want to go to the bottom of the falls but it is completely accessible for a wheelchair if you just want to view the falls from the top and there are multiple handicapped accessible paved paths !


    Guide to Watts

    Natural Falls State Park Campground accommodates pets throughout its developed camping areas, offering tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins where dogs can stay with their owners. All pet-friendly sites include picnic tables and fire rings, with full hookup RV sites featuring concrete pads for level setup. Leashed pets are welcome on most hiking trails, including the path to the 77-foot waterfall that serves as the park's centerpiece. Nearby, Pappy's Riverside RV Park provides spacious pet-friendly sites with electric, water, and sewer connections in a riverside setting. Both campgrounds maintain clean facilities with trash service, though Natural Falls offers additional amenities including showers and a camp store. The park is very clean and well-maintained, making it ideal for established tent camping with pets.

    Hiking trails throughout Natural Falls State Park range from easy to moderately difficult, allowing pets to accompany their owners on most pathways. The signature waterfall trail offers beautiful scenery with multiple viewing platforms, though pets must remain on leash due to steep terrain and wildlife. Some trails contain stairs and may not be suitable for all dogs, particularly those with mobility issues. The campground's proximity to Highway 412 provides convenient access while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere with limited road noise during weekdays. Visitors note the park becomes crowded on weekends, with many day-use visitors sharing the trail system. During summer months, Flint Creek offers nearby swimming opportunities where dogs can cool off, though the falls area itself prohibits swimming for both humans and pets.
