Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Sweet Home, OR

1,000 Reviews

River Bend County Park accommodates pets across all camping areas with designated pet waste stations throughout the grounds. The campground features concrete pads at each site with adjacent picnic tables and fire rings, offering both tent and RV camping options with full hookups. Foster Lake RV Resort also welcomes pets in their cabins and RV sites, requiring leashes in common areas. Dogs can access the Santiam River at River Bend via well-maintained trails for swimming and play. Both campgrounds maintain clean shower facilities and enforce quiet hours to minimize barking disturbances. Pets are allowed at all nine campgrounds in the Sweet Home area, including Waterloo County Park and Edgewater RV Resort. Campers browse The Dyrt when exploring the best sites near Sweet Home, Oregon.

The South Santiam River provides excellent opportunities for dogs to swim and cool off during summer months. Trails at River Bend Park lead directly to river access points where pets can wade in shallow areas while owners fish or relax. Mallard Creek Golf and RV Resort permits pets but lacks dedicated dog exercise areas, making it better suited for golfers with well-behaved dogs. Foster Lake offers additional water access with boat-in camping options where pets are welcome. Nearby Sweet Home (3 miles from Edgewater RV Resort) provides veterinary services and pet supplies if needed during extended stays. Campground hosts sell firewood and ice at most locations and can provide information about local pet regulations. Sites are regularly cleaned between guests, with particular attention to common areas where pets gather.

    Mallard Creek Golf and RV Resort

    Camping for the golf lovers

    Mallard Creek Golf and RV Resort is located about 3 miles from Waterloo (or 8 miles from Lebanon, Oregon and 11 miles from Sweet Home, Oregon). It is off the beat and design for those serious golfers. The RV resort is design for trailers of any size with 30 to 50 amps electric, also includes, water, sewage hook ups, cable, and a cement table. The Club House has showers, bathrooms, and laundry facility. The club house has a wonderful party space with TV, gas fireplace (no fires at sites), tables for games and social gatherings. Free WIFI, your cel phone and data plans work wonderful in this area. Dogs are allowed, but no pet area to run loose. Kids are welcome but not gear up for things to do unless they love to golf too.

    Mallard Creek is gear up for the serious golfers so the summer has special packages for the RV site with golfing from Memorial day weekend to the end of September. For non-golfers the RV resort is available between October 1 to the Thursday before Memorial day.

    Edgewater RV Resort and Marina

    Breathtaking

    This is the best place on the lake to stay. The host/est are awesome. Showers clean and the park quiet. We loved our stay. Also check if they have extended stay still. Only 3 miles from Sweet Home with groceries and gas.

    Yukwah Campground

    Trees, stream, and nature

    Just off Hwy20 within the Willamette Forest. Set along the South Santiam River. About 20 miles from Sweet Home, Oregon. Nestle in the Forest made for small size trailer (under 20ft) or tents but nice swimming holes for July and August weather. Fishing for early spring. Open from May to Sept. There are 20 sites, this year 2018 there was no host. Can reserve spots or try your luck with 7 first come first serve sites. Has a wheel chair primitive trail with a fishing platform. Does require a day fee. Even though its close to HWY 20, road noise is minimal, no semi are to use the road except logging trucks. Has three vaulted toilets, and two water spicket. The Linn County manages the National Forest Campground. Also close to several hiking trails.

    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.

    River Bend County Park

    Close to town yet in the forest.

    Just outside of Sweet Home Oregon (by 6 miles). Nice facilities with toilets and showers, close to South Santiam river. Great place to come for the Oregon Jamboree. But a must anytime to make reservation. A few sites(9) are first come first serve. Four ADA sites. I like the A-B-C loop area because the trees are more dense. There are camp host that you can purchase wood and ice. The campground is run by Linn County 541-967-3917 or RSVP www.linnparks.com. Three miles east of Foster Lake and a boat launch, bring a boat/canoe and enjoy the lake. Can do Group camping, or use a day area for family picnic. Nice play area for kids, volleyball and horseshoe games.

    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.
