Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Burns, OR

Burns RV Park's pet-friendly policies allow campers to bring their dogs while enjoying full hookup sites with shade trees. The campground features clean facilities with bathrooms, showers, and laundry options. Sites include picnic tables and both tent and RV accommodations, plus cabin options for those traveling with pets. Harney County Fairgrounds permits pets throughout their camping area with spacious sites for walking dogs, while Crane Hot Springs welcomes pets at their campground that includes tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and yurt accommodations. For dispersed camping with pets, Sagehen Hill Road permits dogs in an undeveloped setting with fire rings but no other amenities. Mosquitoes can be problematic during summer months, particularly affecting outdoor activities with pets.

The surrounding area provides multiple options for exercising dogs, including nearby trails and open spaces. Burns Shell Truck Stop offers a basic overnight option for travelers with pets needing a quick rest stop. Yellowjacket Campground provides a more natural setting for dogs, featuring picnic tables and toilet facilities but lacking hookups. The hot summer temperatures in this high desert region require extra consideration for pet hydration and paw protection. Some sites have tree cover providing essential shade, while others are more exposed. Most campgrounds maintain standard pet policies including leash requirements and waste cleanup expectations. Local wildlife can pose risks to unleashed pets, so keeping dogs secured is particularly important when camping in more remote locations around Burns.

    Captains Quarters Private Campground

    Unique and peaceful

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay here.  Tania and George are extremely nice people and went above and beyond with hospitality.  Andy, the Mule, was also a great host.  His sleeping quarters are close by the camp site.  No smells and extremely clean.  Lots of ducks, geese, and cats.  It's a well loved farm and sanctuary for rescue animals.  We brought our two dogs and all was fine.  There is even a large "dog park" area, fully contained and safe.  We plan to visit and stay again when we are back in this part of Oregon..... one of our favorite spots!!!!  Thank you again, Tania and George!

    Yellowjacket

    Good stop over

    Plenty of places to camp with fire rings. The lake is pretty and you can find a spot right on the lake. If you go a little further just passed the campground you can camp for free. Didn’t like the cow pies in my campsite for what they did to the lake. Stayed for three days we enjoyed ourselves. The road there from burns was pretty easy breezy.

    Quail Ridge RV park

    Newer, Basic overnight place

    This is in Burns/Hines Oregon. This town is basically a stopover between Boise/Treasure Valley and Bend, Oregon. This park is well suited just for an overnight on the road. The whole property is graveled. All the hookups are in great shape and the whole place looks new-ish. The water pressure is about 100PSI, so use your regulator unless you want to risk popping your plumbing at some place or another. The town has many restaurants, fast food, convenience stores, car parts, car washes, etc. There is a pet park. The host/manager was very down to earth and helpful and greeted us in his golf cart as soon as we pulled up. I recommend this place for a quick/clean stopover. We'll use it again to break up our driving hours. There's not much to see or do in Burns/Hines. The WIFI is excellent coverage and strength and speed. Supports WIFI 6.0. Verizon 3bars.

    Authentically nice folks

    It’s especially sweet when you find kind, interesting folks in what seems like the middle of nowhere. Do yourself a favor and stop here to stretch your legs, romp your dog at the fenced pet area, meet some blessed rescue animals, or stay the night with amenities. You’ll be glad you did. It will restore your faith in humanity. We could all use some of that.

    Chukar Park Campground

    Hidden, peaceful, clean

    Access road is well maintained gravel. Campground was uncrowded on a July Saturday night. Lots of water and pit toilets. Access to the river but it's fast moving so I'd worry about kids and pets. Mosquitos showed up en masse at dusk. Lots of shade. Definitely worth $5.

    Burns RV Park

    Small but friendly

    Our truck broke down just outside of Burns and we ended up having our travel trailer towed to this RV park, as it was the only place we could stay for the week while waiting to get our truck repaired. We had a full hookup spot, which was super nice, but the spot itself was pretty small. This is typical of many RV parks I have been too - good amenities but small spot.

    There were some other spots in the park that were slightly larger and had picnic tables, but ours did not. We had only a tiny plastic table with 2 chairs, but we were so close to the RV next to us that we were basically either looking in their window or we would have to be right next to the "road'. Not ideal so we didn't spend much time outside.

    There was room here for all sizes of campers - from tents (I saw I guy on a bicycle who tent camped for the night) to giant motorhomes with cars towed behind. The park hosts were all extremely nice and helpful, given our circumstances. They also gave us a military discount since my husband is a veteran.

    Restrooms and showers were fairly small (only 2 toilets and 2 showers in each bathroom) but I think most folks used the facilities in their RVs. The shop/office sells propane and ice, so we were able to restock on both (plus they have wine and ice cream if you need a little splurge).

    The park is right off of the highway so you may get some truck/traffic noise but it didn't seem to bother us city folks too much. :)

    Wifi was fairly decent and you can get some local channels in the TV, if those things are important to you.

    Dog and kid friendly, but there is really not much for either to do here.

    Overall, this suited our purpose, in that we had a nice safe place to stay while our truck was repaired, but I'm not sure I would stay here just for kicks. Close to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge and a great stopover if you need a night to rest while driving through the high desert of Oregon.

    Idlewild Campground - Malheur

    Nice USFS Campground Off US 395

    We ran across this nice little campground (CG) looking for a place to walk our pups.  Idlewild is located an easy 30 minute drive north of Burns, OR.  Traveling north, the original entrance is now closed but signage takes you to the new entrance about 1/4 mile up the road.  Down by the original entrance is pull through site 1, which is the only paved site in the CG.  Most of the sites are more suited for tents but there are sites that will handle small RVs.  There is a nice trail system that runs out the back of the CG near site 1.  If you want to get away from it all, this is a great CG.

    Idlewild Campground - Malheur

    USFS campground along highway 395

    This is a basic USFS campground north of Burns, Oregon off of 395. There are few campgrounds off this highway so we always camp here. The fee is $10. There are vault toilets and seasonally a camp host with firewood. Standard clean vault toilets and water during high season. Fire ring and picnic table. There are pull through sites for larger rigs. You are surrounded by large pine trees. It is a popular campground in the fall for hunters. Highway 395 is not a busy highway so the campground is quiet. We always stay here when we visit this area.
