Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Springfield, OR

Almost all of my reviews are based on hiking. If the place offers hiking the review is better for us.

This camp offers do much more! They have one of the cleanest swimming areas around!

While there are trails in the resort, the really good longer ones are on forest service land. You can walk from the resort, do a nice hike (keep some clothing at hand) of up to six miles and return with out any issues.

They also have tennis, pickleball, dog park, restaurant, library and a wonderful staff.

You are close to Springfield/Eugene for groceries and etc.

We are a pack of four.

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...).

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.

We 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.
