Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Alvin, TX

Camp Mohawk County Park's pet-friendly grounds offer camping options with shaded sites for dogs and their owners. Four-legged companions are welcome at all campsite types including cabins, RV spots, and tent sites across the park's wooded landscape. Pet waste stations are positioned throughout the grounds for convenient disposal of dog waste, making it easy to maintain the clean environment noted by regular visitors. Multiple pets are allowed at each site without additional fees, though leash rules apply on all trails and common areas. The staff is consistently helpful and kind to both human and canine guests. St. Ives RV Resort nearby also accommodates pets with full-hookup RV sites in a quieter setting approximately 15-20 minutes from town.

Hiking trails at Brazos Bend State Park provide excellent dog walking opportunities while observing local wildlife, including the park's famous alligators from a safe distance. Dogs must remain leashed and under control due to the abundant wildlife, especially when near water features where alligators are common. Camp Mohawk's fishing ponds, playgrounds, and volleyball courts are all accessible with leashed pets, though dogs aren't permitted in buildings or swimming areas. Pet owners should pack extra water during summer months as temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity. The mosquito population can be significant, particularly during warmer months, so appropriate pet-safe insect protection is strongly recommended for both camping comfort and trail exploration with dogs.

    Houston / Med Center KOA Holiday

    Great rv campground close to airport

    Great campground with wonderful staff who are very friendly. Full hookup, paved sites with heated saltwater pool and hot tub, workout facilities, clubhouse with games and puzzles, laundry facilities, a small camp store, and pet friendly with two small dog parks. The best thing about the location is that it backs up to Tom Bass park that has wonderful dog parks along with playgrounds and frisbee golf. Would definitely be staying here again!

    Traders Village RV Park

    Houston, Tx…..Nothing to get excited about

    It’s a large campground and spaces are very small. There’s a grass strip between camp sites. No picnic tables or grills. The office gave us a map and showed us how to get to our site but virtually impossible to understand. A very nice gentleman that stayed here took us to our site. He said they have no idea how to do directions and a buddy of his really messed up his camper by trolling around looking for their site. It’s very crowded and no room for awnings or for both campers side by side to put out awnings. There is a pool but it doesn’t look well maintained and there’s absolutely no chairs. Just the pool and it’s small. Laundry room is large. There’s no dog park or anywhere to walk your dog. Signs everywhere that say no pets, yet they are allowed. The flea market is only on the wknd. It’s close to a lot of restaurants and in a nice area.

    Beachside RV Park

    Best place in Bolivar Peninsula

    This was such a blissful place to start my Texas snowbird trip. As a solo female traveler in a campervan I felt so incredibly safe and welcomed to this campground. Nancy and Butch are the kindest campground hosts I've ever encountered. They ensured to check in with me regularly during my two week stay, the bathroom, shower and laundry facilities were maintained consistently, and the dog park and closeness to the beach was perfect for my dog's daily exercise. For the reasonable price, I felt this campground delivered above and beyond. If I hadn't scheduled another campground, I would have stayed longer. Thank you to all at Beachside RV. You made my stay memorable.

    Bolivar Peninsula RV Park

    Still needs work

    Pros: office lady very nice, site 1 has 1 tree for shade, ferry w/ our travel trailer from Galveston Island was easier than expected, large dog park, close to Camp Margaritaville.

    Cons: gravel sites, bathroom super gross with no TP, dirt rv road kicks up lots of dust, right on noisy highway.

    Houston / Med Center KOA Holiday

    A lot of Amenities

    The park is clean, but the sites are tight. The further you get to the front the louder the traffic noise is, but the sites are larger and spaced out more. It is a five and take. It has three locations with washer and dryers, two dog parks, a recreation room and easy access to Tom Bass park.

    Beachside RV Park

    Affordable, Convenient, Amenity Rich

    This is the nicest RV Park on the Bolivar Peninsula / Crystal Beach area. Truly. So well maintained, and quiet peaceful setting. 

    We were surprised that it had a nice dog park, indoor laundry, shower, wifi, gazebo for hanging out in and more, all included in the rate!

    Close to the beach.

    Walk to the gas station and restaurants. 

    They are running a winter special.
