    Albany-Corvallis KOA accommodates pets across all site types including tent areas, RV spots, cabins, and yurts. This established campground maintains clean facilities with well-spaced sites surrounded by mature trees that provide adequate shade for pets during summer months. Nearby Waterloo County Park also welcomes pets with picnic tables and access to water for dogs to cool off. Both locations enforce standard leash policies throughout common areas while providing designated pet relief stations. Most campgrounds in the area allow up to two pets per site with some charging additional pet fees for cabin stays. Blue Ox RV Park receives consistently high ratings from pet owners for its meticulously maintained grounds, paved sites, and proximity to a dog park less than one mile away. Highway noise can be noticeable at some sites, particularly at the Albany-Corvallis KOA.

    Hiking trails along the South Santiam River at Waterloo County Park and Gills Landing provide excellent dog walking opportunities with multiple access points for pets to enjoy water activities. The Lebanon area features several veterinary clinics within a 15-minute drive of most campgrounds, including emergency services available in Albany and Corvallis. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended as pavement temperatures can exceed safe levels for pet paws during peak afternoon heat. Campers with larger dogs appreciate the spacious pull-through sites at Blue Ox RV Park and Albany-Corvallis KOA, which provide adequate room for pet enclosures without encroaching on neighboring sites. The rec area and indoor pool at Blue Ox remain pet-free zones, so travelers should plan accordingly when leaving animals in RVs during facility use.

      Tent camping

      Well 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.

      Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

      Pretty area, very near to Eugene and Coburg

      Small, convenient campground near Eugene. Large dog park adjacent, which is very convenient when traveling with your four legged friends.

      Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

      Charming Campground

      This 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.

      Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

      Great park close to Eugene

      Loved 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

      Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

      Bigger Than Expected, Convenient

      It'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...).

      Premier RV Resort at Eugene

      Great park and perfect for access to Eugene, OR

      I'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.

      Creekside Retreat at Triangle Lake

      Orwellian glamping

      Advertised 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

      Albany-Corvallis KOA

      Month Long Stay at Corvallis KOA

      Spent a month in an RV space at this KOA. My first experience at a KOA couldn’t have gone better. Staff was friendly, facilities were clean, and fellow RVers were quiet and respectful. We stayed here with a dog and were really happy with amenities such as the dog park and small trail behind campground. Really phenomenal and kind workers as well. Would stay again. We stayed during the wet season, and it was not very busy here. We did have some issues with moisture in RV, would definitely recommend having a dehumidifier. Showers and bathrooms cleaned daily and were very clean always. There is also a nice laundry facility (coin operated) and sink for washing dishes. Two bathrooms and a dog park. Electric hookups, black water dump, and water hookup at site.


    Guide to Shedd

    Campers seeking dog friendly campgrounds near Shedd, Oregon can access several options within a 30-mile radius. The Willamette Valley terrain features gentle rolling hills with elevations ranging from 200-400 feet, creating mild camping conditions year-round.

    What to do

    Fishing access: Santiam River offers multiple fishing spots at Waterloo County Park, especially for families. "Great little spot for a family get together and overnight stay... On the river good fishing... but be aware... current is swift.. swimmers seem to get in trouble every year here," notes camper Len S.

    Nature trails: Wooded hiking through mature trees provides exercise opportunities for both pets and owners. As Felix Y. shares about Albany-Corvallis KOA, "the dog run is nice, big and well maintained. However, lots of holes and escape options under and through the fence for small dogs. Nice little nature trail though both the bridges on the small loop are closed."

    Disc golf: Free recreation available at Waterloo County Park for campers seeking non-water activities. "This place has it, a dog park, play disc golf, hiking trails, fish, with ADA fishing deck, boat launch, playground, and two camping loops," explains Cindy U. about the recreational offerings beyond standard camping.

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: Maintained bathrooms across most established campgrounds receive consistent praise. "The park and bathrooms are very clean," notes Sean M. about Albany-Corvallis KOA, while Dave B. commented on Benton Oaks RV saying, "Clean facilities, nice laundry room. Sites are close but reasonable."

    Spacious sites: Room to spread out is important for campers with dogs. At Blue Ox RV Park, Kristie M. mentions, "Great safe RV park with pool, clean showers, paved sites. Dog park less than 1 mile." The nearby access to pet exercise areas proves particularly valuable for longer stays.

    Reliable Wi-Fi service: Unlike many rural campgrounds, some locations offer functional internet access. At Albany-Corvallis KOA, Jill R. enthusiastically reports, "The best surprise is wifi that actually works. Enough bandwidth that I actually got connected and was able to download a couple of things and watch a YouTube video on using some new RV gear. Excellent!!!!"

    What you should know

    Seasonal water hazards: Swift currents pose safety risks for pets and people during certain times of year. Waterloo County Park reviews specifically warn about swimming conditions: "Current is swift.. swimmers seem to get in trouble every year here."

    Highway noise levels: Traffic sounds vary by campsite location within each campground. Marcus K. notes about Albany-Corvallis KOA: "Great campground with nicely spaced and well maintained sites.

    Reservation needs: Popular sites fill quickly during peak seasons at pet-friendly campgrounds. Gills Landing RV Park receives consistent five-star ratings with James and Susan K. calling it "one of our favorite RV parks" with "20 full hookup sites with locked safe restrooms/coin showers. Camp host greets upon arrival and provides area maps and complimentary tokens for showers."

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Kid-friendly amenities exist at several campgrounds for families with both children and pets. For Albany-Corvallis KOA, a reviewer advises, "I'd try to reserve spots 9 or 12 (next to the playground and sunny spots) or 72 (next to the creek in the shade) next time!"

    Morning activities: Schedule dog walks when temperatures are coolest to protect paw pads. Jacob R. observed at Waterloo County Park: "Sites were really easy to get into. River was pretty and plenty of kids playing."

    Swimming safety: Exercise caution around water features when bringing children and pets. At Hult Pond, Nicki G. shares, "I went during my spring break and I was lucky that it was too cold for most people to camp there. It was beautiful and quiet (other than the 9pm daily goose choir). The pond was great for kayaking."

    Tips from RVers

    Pull-through accessibility: Larger sites accommodate bigger rigs at several pet-friendly campgrounds. One camper reports about Albany-Corvallis KOA: "nice big pull through sites, tent sites along the back (really good), a nice small store and friendly staff."

    Utility hookups: Full services available at most established campgrounds near Shedd. Kevin H. notes about Waterloo County Park: "Hook-ups for Electric and Water only, but they have a 'waste water' (gray water) disposal every few sites where you can pour any gray water. There is a sewer dump station located in the park."
