Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Buchanan, TN
Paris Landing State Park Campground allows pets on both tent and RV sites as well as in cabins, providing direct access to Kentucky Lake and hiking trails. The campground includes water and electric hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables at most sites, with bathroom facilities and showers available for campers. The small campground layout is somewhat unusual, with some sites positioned awkwardly on one-way roads, but the bathhouses are notably clean and well-maintained. A highly-rated KOA campground nearby in Buchanan offers more pet amenities including a dog exercise area with plenty of shade throughout the property. Both campgrounds maintain strict leash policies for all dogs.
Eagles Nest RV Park provides concrete pads with full hookups and cable TV for pet owners traveling with their animals. Dogs must remain leashed in all common areas, though several grassy spots around the property accommodate pet relief. The campground lies just 1,500 feet from Kentucky Lake with easy access to Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, creating numerous opportunities for dogs to swim and explore the shoreline. The area's trails require pets to remain on leash no longer than six feet. Little Eagle RV Park similarly welcomes pets with clean sites and lakefront access, though with less shade available during summer months. Local veterinary services are available in Paris, Tennessee, approximately 15 minutes from most campgrounds, with after-hours emergency care in Murray, Kentucky for visitors staying multiple nights.
