Silver Falls State Park Campground permits pets across its RV, tent, cabin and glamping accommodations. Smith Creek Village, located within Silver Falls State Park, offers rustic cabin rentals where dogs are welcome, though reviews note mice occasionally enter the structures. Campsites throughout the area provide drinking water, toilets, showers and picnic tables, with most featuring fire pits for evening gatherings. John Neal Memorial Park and Fishermen's Bend Recreation Site allow pets at both tent and RV sites, while Champoeg State Heritage Area extends pet-friendly policies to its cabins and yurts. Detroit Lake State Recreation Area accommodates pets at its cabins where hiking trails provide exercise opportunities for dogs. The cabins at Smith Creek Village stay surprisingly warm during winter visits, making them suitable for year-round pet camping.
Trail of Ten Falls at Silver Falls State Park offers spectacular waterfall views, though not all sections permit dogs. Howard Creek Horse Camp provides dedicated equestrian facilities while allowing pets. Waterloo County Park features pet-friendly tent, RV and glamping options with nearby water access. During summer months, visitors should bring extra fly spray as some trails have issues with biting insects in late August. Silver Falls becomes particularly crowded on weekends, with weekday visits recommended for those seeking quieter experiences with pets. Most campgrounds maintain strict leash requirements and provide waste disposal stations. The full Falls loop spans approximately 7-8 miles, requiring a full day to complete with pets where allowed. Winter camping offers uniquely serene experiences with significantly fewer visitors on trails and in camping areas.

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.

GuideSpent 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.
Silver Falls State Park Campground accommodates pets throughout its diverse lodging options, including tent sites, RV spots, and cabins. Dogs must remain on leash in campground areas, though certain trails within the park, including the popular Trail of Ten Falls, prohibit dogs due to wildlife and safety considerations.

Waterloo County Park and John Neal Memorial Park provide additional pet-friendly camping options near Stayton, with both featuring river access points where dogs can cool off. Campers regularly spot wildlife including raccoons around Silver Falls cabins despite all food being properly stored.
Pet owners exploring Silver Falls State Park should note that while dogs aren't permitted on the signature waterfall trails, numerous other hiking paths throughout the park welcome leashed pets.

The park's cabins provide a comfortable alternative to tent camping during Oregon's rainy seasons when camping with pets.

For RV travelers with dogs, Silver Spur RV Park in nearby Silverton maintains spacious sites with full hookups and pet waste stations throughout the property.
