Armitage Park & Campground offers extensive pet amenities with full hookup sites, a two-acre designated dog park, and riverside trails where leashed dogs can explore. The campground maintains clean facilities with showers, laundry, and spacious sites featuring vegetation buffers between campers, creating privacy for dogs that may be reactive to other pets. Most RV and tent sites allow multiple pets with no breed restrictions. Some campers note the host can be less welcoming to tent campers with dogs than to RV guests, though the park's overall pet-friendly atmosphere remains positive.
Dog-friendly accommodations vary significantly across the Marcola area's campgrounds. Premier RV Resort at Eugene provides dedicated pet facilities including a dog wash station and multiple pet relief areas, though traffic noise from nearby I-5 may disturb sensitive pets. The Willamettans welcomes pets with access to nearby forest service hiking trails extending up to six miles, perfect for exercising dogs before returning to camp. Waterloo County Park features riverside camping with multiple access points where dogs can cool off during summer months. Pet owners should be aware that Eugene Kamping World RV Park limits tent campers with pets to a maximum three-day stay, and several reviews mention issues with cats roaming the tent camping area, potentially causing barking and nighttime disturbances for dogs.
"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."

"It is a very dog friendly park and there is lots of room for dogs but everyone picked up after dogs and we heard almost zero barking."
"Some great trails accessible for hiking. Although, the trails are not marked that well. Still beautiful and the lakes and nearby reservoir are great. Campsites are big and are drive up"

from $29 - $64 / night
Check Availability"We were lucky enough to rent a space at Deerwood for two months while we escaped the heat of Arizona and visiting our kids in Oregon."

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.
ScoutMore of a motor home campground, although there were some tents. Nice dog park at entrance.
Pretty quiet.
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
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.
