Best Dog-Friendly Camping in Oklahoma

2,438 Reviews

Territory Route 66 RV Park & Campgrounds offers overnight access for campers with dogs and pets. The campground maintains clean facilities with coded access to showers and washers, adequate lighting for late-night pet walks, and quiet surroundings except for expected Route 66 traffic noise. Robbers Cave State Park accommodates pets across multiple lodging options including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, yurts, and glamping accommodations. Several state parks throughout Oklahoma permit pets, including Beavers Bend, Natural Falls, Red Rock Canyon, Black Mesa, and Foss State Park. All of these parks require pets to be leashed when outside accommodations and owners to clean up after their animals. The park grounds at most locations provide ample walking areas for exercising dogs, with some featuring dedicated pet-friendly trails. Many campers note the parks are very clean with proper disposal facilities for pet waste.

Beavers Bend State Park's riverside camping areas give dogs access to water for swimming and cooling off during warmer months. The park features multiple hiking trails suitable for leashed pets, with the COE access road providing a scenic route along the river past the spillway where pets can enjoy natural surroundings. Lake Murray State Park offers affordable pet-friendly sites at $29 per night with convenient water access, making it popular for dogs that enjoy swimming. Several Oklahoma state parks have wildlife viewing opportunities, with deer frequently visible at campgrounds like Scissortail. Pet owners should remain vigilant about wildlife encounters, especially at dusk and dawn. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours that apply to barking dogs as well, though reviews indicate enforcement varies by location. During summer months, shaded campsites are recommended for pets to prevent overheating, with early morning or evening being the safest times for pet activities.

    Osage Hills State Park Campground

    They let us in for free!

    We arrived here later in the day. We were here and it was chilly in November. Apparently the person working didn't anticipate any body showing up so late in the season. They were surprised and let us in for free. Its a pretty sweet camp right on the lake. 20-30 tent sites. As well as full RV hook ups.

    Theres hiking, biking, and fishing in the area. We weren't really sure what to think about camping in Oklahoma and the camp site and people blew our expectations.

    Cheers!

    Cedar Lake Equestrian Campground

    Great campground

    This was mine and my mom's favorite place to camp in Oklahoma. The campground is heavily forested with pine trees and there are some sites right off the lake. It has a very nice bathroom facility with showers. Normally when we would go (in the fall and spring) it was not very crowded. Lots of great hiking trails nearby and the scenic Talimena scenic drive is beautiful, especially in the fall.

    Spring Hill Campground — Boiling Springs State Park

    Family friendly, clean, and entertaining place to stay!

    What a great place to camp in Oklahoma! The campground was well maintained, the bathrooms were spotless, and the variety of trails was endless. I stayed here just for the night and a short hike the next morning before continuing to Colorado, and if I had not been on a tight schedule I would have stayed longer! They have several options for camping including group sites, RV hookups, and cabins, playgrounds for the kids, a pool with concessions, and lots of hiking and biking options. The rangers were very friendly and informative, giving me lots of great information, not just about this park, but all Oklahoma State Parks. They were very dog friendly and mine enjoyed the stay as well, with lots of things to sniff and see. Dogs are allowed on all trails and inside most buildings as long as they are on a 10 foot leash.

    Oklahoma Welcome Center - Eastbound

    A Big Oklahoma Welcome

    This rest stop and visitor area is perfect for a stop to walk or for an overnight stay. They have bathrooms, brochures for all the different regions of Oklahoma, pet area, large level lots, and great walking path. When you arrive the road splits one side for cars other for big rigs and RVs. Since we were worried about the noise from the semi trucks we found a road right before the truck lot to the right. We went by what appears to be a maintenance building and around behind that is a locked lot were they keep sand. We parked back here. It was quiet and level. No one came to ask us to leave and it appeared to be part of this rest area land. The truck and tv lot did fill up in the evening. The information center is open from 8:30-5 daily the the ladies inside were very friendly and helpful! Be careful with your pets. The grass area is full of those thorny burrs!! Our dog got a few before we discovered that, but the pet area was clear from those nasty things! Definitely a perfect welcome into Oklahoma.

    Riverside RV Park

    Stayed for a month

    Great location, friendly staff, and very reasonable pricing. $395 for the month + electric. Laundry room on site is nice, inexpensive, and includes plenty of washer and dryers. There’s a paved walking trail right next to the campground that is well maintained and leads to the campgrounds dog park. Dog park is clean and spacious. My only thing to note is that the campground is all rock/dirt so it is very dusty, however the staff to a great job of keeping up with the area and making it a nice place to stay.

    Sooner's Corner RV Park

    Easily Accessed From Highway

    On my way north of Oklahoma City I was in search of a gas station on a pretty baron strip of highway. I saw a few signs for a local community of Perry and thought I would check it out along the way. Just off the highway at exit 185 heading toward Highway 77 there was a small truck stop but more surprisingly located just beside as a part of the same property was roadside motel and RV stop.

     I inquired within and was informed that they have nightly as well as weekly rates available and often are frequented by tourists passing through on the main highway. 

    There are only 16 pull through locations but they do allow overnight tent stay, although there is not a discounted rate for tents. 

    The property is limited on shade but does have basic amenities and proximity to quick feel before hitting the road again. 

    The restrooms are quite nice and offer showers and laundry services as well. They do allow pets and didn’t seem to have an additional charge for this. If you are looking for an easy access location this one is great for a quick pull off however if you are looking for more recreational style campgrounds look at Perry Lake which is only a short distance away.

    Elk City-Clinton KOA

    A fine place to recharge before embarking on your next journey

    We stayed here for one night on our way from Raton, NM to Devil’s Den State Park in AR. The campground was well staffed, clean, and signs clearly marking the entrances to the property and sites by number.

    We stayed in pull-in site #59, which is paved. The site was perfectly level left to right and we barely dropped our tongue jack to level front to back. There is a laundry, playground, and dog park where the pups can run free off leash.

    The coolest part of the campground is the store / office / bar, called “The Moose Knuckle Tavern” (lol). They have pizza, wings, burgers, a salad, and some apps. Call about 30 minutes ahead so you can place your order and not have to wait for your food. Also, plan your stay around not being here on a Sunday. The campground is in one of only 5 counties in Oklahoma that don’t allow alcohol sales on Sundays...lame.
