Armitage Park & Campground welcomes pets at all 36 sites near Eugene, approximately 15 minutes from Junction City. The park features full-hookup RV sites, tent camping areas, and amenities including showers, toilets, drinking water, and waste disposal stations. Dogs must remain leashed throughout the park's grounds. Premier RV Resort at Eugene and Eugene Kamping World RV Park both provide pet-friendly accommodations with designated pet exercise areas. Hult Pond offers a more rustic experience with free, pet-friendly dispersed camping in a wooded setting. South Twin Lake Campground permits pets and provides access to lake activities where many campers bring dogs for swimming and shoreline exploration. Local campgrounds are searchable through The Dyrt's listings.
Dogs enjoy numerous hiking opportunities around the pet-friendly campsites, particularly at Alsea Falls Recreation Site where pets can access trails and recreation areas when properly leashed. The site operates seasonally from late April through October. Campers report Hues Flower Farm & Nursery provides a peaceful environment for pets with access to riverside areas. Weather considerations affect pet camping comfort, with summer months offering ideal conditions but requiring extra water provisions for dogs. Cooler spring and fall periods provide comfortable hiking weather but may necessitate pet bedding for nighttime warmth. Most campgrounds enforce standard pet policies requiring leashes no longer than 6 feet, immediate waste cleanup, and restrictions against leaving pets unattended at campsites. Reviews consistently mention the quiet setting at Life Northwest RV & Lodging as beneficial for pets sensitive to noise.
"Perfect place for dog owners as they have the best dog park; it’s actually the community dog park, so they’re always dogs/people there."

ScoutWell we did not know that when tent camping you can only stay two weeks we were originally told we could stay as long as we wanted as long as we moved and did not stay in a spot more than 7 days. Not a bad campground just don't like the two week stay rule. Plus my cat loves it. There is a natural that can be walked, a dog park, swimming pool, also a place to throw disc golf disc's.
RangerSmall, convenient campground near Eugene. Large dog park adjacent, which is very convenient when traveling with your four legged friends.
TravelerThis is one of my favorite campgrounds that we’ve come across in OR, it’s very charming & quaint. Perfect place for dog owners as they have the best dog park; it’s actually the community dog park, so they’re always dogs/people there. The sites here are spaced enough so you don’t feel like you’re in a traditional RV park. The hosts are nice, grounds are clean and there’s great opportunities for walking & fishing.
GuideLoved this park! The campsites were nicely situated so you weren’t right on top of each other and the park was great. There is an off leash dog park and access to the river. The laundry and showers were closed due to COVID but the public restrooms were still open and were just fine. Would definitely stay here again
LegendIt's $33 a night, but hey, at least you get a lot of somethings for it. These are 32 reservable sites, pretty well spread out with - bonus - vegetation between some campsites. Overall it kind of has a little bit of a sanitized, urban feel with what's on the outskirts of the campground, but it's fairly open and roomy, there's a boat ramp to the large McKenzie River, an active park host in an active go-cart, a volleyball court, lots of room to walk and walk dogs (includes a 2-acre dog park), horseshoe pits and, because it's just a few miles north of Eugene I suspect, wi-fi (that could be a good or bad thing). Drinking water, flush toilets? But of course. You won't be blown-away, but you won't be disappointed. A clean, well-organized camping area, a step up from KOAs for those true campers out there (and you know who you are...).
RangerI've stayed here a number of times and each time it's a pleasure. Nice big sites, super clean park and facilities and nice staff. I personally stay in all sorts of locations, but usually stop here for a couple of nights to take advantage of the great stores in Eugene to stock up before heading off for more primitive camping. This park is pet friendly with 2 reasonable dog yards and there doesn't seem to be a quantity or breed problem (I'm parked next to a rig with 2 pitbulls, a small mixed breed and 2 cats). Everyone I've encountered in here is super respectful. They also have a small inexpensive laundry. While walking around with my 4 dogs, I noticed they have Tepees for rent also. I always feel safe and comfortable when I stay here. The only downside is that it's right off I-5 so lots of freeway noise.
ScoutAdvertised as a pet friendly glamping space. Brought my dog and upon arrival was told dogs are not allowed inside tent. On the website it states dogs must be on leash and not left alone outside. How is anyone able to sleep inside a tent while not having your pet alone outside not being allowed inside tent? Apparently my campsite is recorded audio and video by the hosts and we were unnecessarily aggressively confronted. The creek we camped next to was polluted with pet feces, nitrous cartridges and used cigarette filters. Overall we left and felt scammed. They charged us $25 for wood we never burned
ScoutMore of a motor home campground, although there were some tents. Nice dog park at entrance.
Pretty quiet.
LegendWe stayed here because we had an appointment in Eugene in the morning and wanted to be somewhere close the night before.
Though this isn't the type of park we usually prefer to stay at, it does a good job at being a good, safe, basic RV park.
There are activities right on site: horseshoe pits, playground, half court basketball hoop, small dog park (small is referring to the size of the park, it's for all dog sizes), and rec room. The free showers and laundry room were nice and clean. The park as a whole was nicely maintained and clean, though some residents seem to be pushing the limits on that on their individual sites.
There's a little store with basic items in the office, as well as a $1 DVD rental.
There's bulk propane on site at $3/gal, and a dump station (free for guests, $10 for non guests).
Good strong free wifi. Good cell reception here as well.
There are recycling bins here but they don't specify what they allow. It's just the generic blue toters that say "recycling."
It's near the road and near a TA truck stop, so there's noise from that, but it wasn't obnoxious.
Lots of long termers here, some of them look really settled in. Sites are really close together. We didn't have neighbors on either side of us, thank goodness.
With fees, etc our stay was $49 for a water and electric site. FHU was just a few dollars more, but since the dump is free for guests we went that route and saved a couple of dollars. Way too expensive but I suppose it's the proximity to Eugene. We weren't asked about pets when we checked in, there don't seem to be any restrictions or additional fees.
Junction City, Oregon offers several camping options within 30 minutes of town. The area sits at approximately 325 feet above sea level in the southern Willamette Valley, characterized by mild winters and warm summers with average July temperatures reaching 82°F. Camping conditions remain most favorable between late spring and early fall when precipitation levels drop significantly from the wet winter months.
River access exploration: At Armitage Park & Campground, campers can take advantage of the McKenzie River. "There is an off leash dog park and access to the river. The laundry and showers were closed due to COVID but the public restrooms were still open and were just fine," notes Jenny W. The park provides both day-use river access and fishing opportunities.
Hiking to waterfalls: Near Alsea, approximately 45 minutes from Junction City, trails lead to scenic falls. "The site was very pretty and had potential! The falls that you can hike to are super close! Right out the back of the campsite and it is a easy trail for dogs and young kids. There is a spot to swim at the bottom as well," reports Molly H.
Kayaking opportunities: Nearby lakes offer paddling options for campers with portable watercraft. At Hult Pond, "The pond was great for kayaking and there is plenty to explore if you aren't worried about a little elevation in your hike," according to Nicki G. The pond prohibits motorized boats, creating a quieter environment for paddlers.
Spacious sites: Many campgrounds near Junction City offer well-designed layouts. At Armitage Park, "The campsites were nicely situated so you weren't right on top of each other and the park was great," mentions Jenny W. This design provides more privacy than typically found at developed campgrounds.
Natural surroundings: Alsea Falls Recreation Site provides a forested setting with distinctive site layouts. "Small but will laid out campground under the trees, each camp site has a log fence enclosure. No sites are next to the river but there's hiking trails and a walk to Alsea Falls," notes MeLinda W.
Quiet atmosphere: Several locations offer relative tranquility despite proximity to travel routes. "We arrived late on a Monday - our site was reserved with our names. We had to take our 5th wheel in for unexpected service. The staff was very accommodating and booked us for another night without an issue," reports Michael A. about his peaceful stay at Armitage Park.
Cell service limitations: Many rural camping areas have limited connectivity. At Hult Pond Recreation Area, "We lost cell service about an hour before we even got there, and didn't have any the whole time there. There are some really cool spots that were taken. Would come again, but there's no cell service at all so I'd plan accordingly," warns Grace A.
Weekend availability: Popular sites fill quickly during peak season. "If your staying here on the weekend make sure you reserve your spot early they are always booked on the weekends," advises Tim W. about Armitage Park.
Access road considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging approach roads. "The drive coming in from east to west is a bit stressful. The BLM road is narrow, and if it's sunny, the sunlight coming in and out of the trees very rapidly makes it hard to see the road," explains Denny B. about Alsea Falls Recreation Site.
Dog-friendly activities: Most campgrounds welcome pets with standard restrictions. "There is a 2-acre dog park, horseshoe pits and, because it's just a few miles north of Eugene I suspect, wi-fi (that could be a good or bad thing)," notes Bjorn S. about Deerwood RV Park.
Swimming options: Several locations offer water activities suitable for children. "Kids had so much to do and had such a great time. Lazy shallow rivers and beautiful waterfalls were just a few of the highlights," shares James P. about Alsea Falls Recreation Site.
Clean facilities: For families needing reliable bathroom access, some parks maintain better facilities than others. "Clean bathrooms, laundry, full hook ups, dog park, river access... all within a 10 minute drive to downtown Eugene! I love this campground," reports Kat P. about Armitage Park.
Site selection: RV campers should consider their specific needs when booking. At Premier RV Resort at Eugene, "We selected a pull through because we were only doing an overnight. Electricity was solid 30 amps. ATT reception was decent. We were impressed with the spacing between sites for a county park," shares Misty Z.
Jack pad requirements: Some parks have specific rules about protecting their surfaces. "ALL spots require jack pads. Having not stayed in too many parks with asphalt, this was a surprise for us. They did not mention at checkin, but we got a polite email the next morning," warns Rachel H. about Deerwood RV Park.
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. "One star due to highway noise. One star due to internet access. I've been without for over 2 days. I have a Wi-Fi signal but no internet," notes Captmatt about their Deerwood RV Park experience.
