Wichita Falls RV Park
Convenient plus great dog park
Dog park was best part. Affordable too. Level sites. Spacious pads. River was yuck. Pond was yuck.
Burkburnett-Wichita Falls KOA's pet-friendly sites feature full hookups and a salt water swimming pool for campers traveling with dogs. The campground provides tent sites, RV spaces with 50-amp service, and cabins that accommodate pets with grassy areas for exercise. Pets must be leashed at all times while on campground property, and waste disposal stations are available throughout the grounds. Wichita Falls RV Park also welcomes pets and offers a dedicated dog park area with spacious pads that keep dirt out. Both locations maintain clean facilities with picnic tables at most sites. The sites are level with good water pressure and stable electrical connections. Long-term guests typically stay on the east edge of Wichita Falls RV Park, leaving the remainder wide open for travelers with pets. Road noise can be minimal for sites along the river area.
Hiking trails connected to Wichita Bend RV Park provide exercise opportunities for dogs and their owners, with a walking bridge that connects to a park area featuring a waterfall. Lake Arrowhead State Park Campground permits pets at both tent and RV sites, though owners should bring plenty of water during summer months when temperatures can rise significantly. The campgrounds maintain a 72-hour maximum stay policy with rates starting at $17 per night for water and electric hookups. Mountain bike and running trails accessible directly from Wichita Bend RV Park offer additional recreation options for active pet owners. The trails are well-maintained and connect to a river walk where pets can cool off after exercise. Campers should note that stickers can be problematic in certain areas, particularly near designated dog walking zones, requiring careful attention during pet outings.

"Deserving of Texas Campground of the year award! Great amenities and tons of activities! Family bathrooms are first class!"
"It’s obviously easy to work around this, just bring your own food!"
$10 - $22 / night
"Water Electric , dump station close by, all rv sites seem to have a picnic table with an awning. Lake is close by, but we could feel a breeze most nights."
"The park is located just a few minutes from the freeway. You can fish, canoe, kayak or paddleboard but you need to bring your own."
"Even if it is just a 30 minute drive for us, it is a home away from home. The sites are only electric and water, but dump stations are available. Showers and restrooms are also on site."
"Mount Scott had some pretty awesome views and I hiked the trail across the road from it by the bathrooms. There is a gate and a path beside it made from vehicle wheels. You can hike pretty far."
"From when I was younger I remember going to the Wichita Mountains to see the Holy City and the prairie dog city. "
"We were undisturbed and spent a peaceful night.We had good access to the highway we were traveling on the way to Colorado. Would probably stay here again for an overnight."
"The RV spaces were close together but there was so much land around the sites to explore. It was safe, not far off the main road but no road noise."
$12 - $40 / night
"We were in site 47-B, which is an area that is near the lake and has electrical. This particular site has the lake just a few steps from the camp. These are electrical only sites. "
"Lots of camping spots - and most were well distanced for plenty of privacy."

A nice KOA right off I-44. Its far enough from the highway to not be bothered by the noise. Nice and grassy and large trees around the campground just not near the RV spots. Nice salt water pool and a little store with sundries. The cabins look very nice as well. It appears they are expanding and adding new sites and renovating as well. Playground for the kids and dog park for your pup. Expect to pay about $45 a night for an RV site. You can save 10% with your KOA membership.
Quiet and peaceful RV Park. The ladies at the office were very helpful and friendly. They are pet friendly with a nice dog walk area. The restrooms are spacious, clean, and have large residential style showers. We couldn’t have asked for more for our weekend visit during my daughter’s softball tournament.
This RV park is right off the main thoroughfare, next to the local Walmart. There is even a path to the Walmart parking lot at the edge of the park.
Wifi was down for our one night visit, due to severe weather that knocked out a wire/cable in town.
Sites are mostly grass. We got a pull through for our visit. Sites are a mix of long-term stays and overnight stays. Our picnic table was apparently a shared resource, as it was used by the site next door residents in front of our RV.
There is a small pool, but we did not use it. There is also a playground on site and a pet area.
I love coming here. So beautiful. Never busy a great place to take the dog and just go for a walk or take your ATV and just go off roading or just go for a swim. Trust me you'll enjoy it
Incredible scenery and wildlife.
We were in site 47-B, which is an area that is near the lake and has electrical. This particular site has the lake just a few steps from the camp. These are electrical only sites. And the water available at the campground was not potable and has been this way since 2017 per a sign. During reservation, it was noted that bathrooms were not operational, and only self contained RVs were allowed. That said, there were tent campers when we were there. Note there is no cellular service in the campground.
We found the sites to be very quiet and spread out. There are many great sites along the lake edge beyond our loop, but these offered no electrical. Longhorns were evidenced in our area. We enjoyed driving over to Prairie Dog town and spending time laughing at their antics. Since our last visit, their area has really grown and continued to spread out. We also enjoyed visiting the Environmental Education Center for its trails and pier, as the Center was closed due to COVID. I think our favorite area is around Rush Lake for its views and waterfalls. Don't miss the views from atop Mt. Scott.
This place was conveniently located with shopping and restaurants in walking distance but far enough from the road to avoid traffic noise. Owners were very sweet and efficient. Park itself is basic with few trees. Mostly grass and gravel at the site. Pool, horseshoes, playground and dog area, as well as a well stocked inventory of RV supplies. They had propane and even came to our site to pick up . Bathhouse was older but clean. Nearby Italian restaurant was awesome and inexpensive.
Doris campgrounds are only open for RV campers due to covid so I couldn’t stay. Mount Scott had some pretty awesome views and I hiked the trail across the road from it by the bathrooms. There is a gate and a path beside it made from vehicle wheels. You can hike pretty far. There are several spots where you cross a creek which was good for my dogs or I think they would have died by the way they were panting lol. It was 91 degrees when I hiked it. Take 2 water bottles for yourself if it’s hot out! The trail ends at a beautiful lake with the mountain in the distance. I walked down to the lake so the dogs could cool off and drink for a while. Def loved taking it all in. There’s cattle but they didn’t mind us one bit.
I did see camping in town right before the blue water towers, along the river/creek there are tent camping spots and a lot of people were fishing. It’s just over the bridge and you can miss it. It’s not on the app so thought I would mention it in my review and added some pics of that area!
Absolutely wonderful camping and hiking!! Lots of camping spots - and most were well distanced for plenty of privacy. Due to COVID all spots require pre-registration online and only self contained vehicles are permitted (all bathrooms are closed). There is no service in the park, but about 2 bars next to the Visitor’s center (which is also closed), so be sure to reserve a spot before you get close to the park. Some sites are dry and some have electric hookups. No water available due to an ongoing E. Coli issue. The camp host was really nice and stopped by both nights we were there. There were lots of hikes and we are looking forward to coming back for an extended stay. For hiking, we loved 40 foot hole (nice waterfall) and Little Baldy for sunset. Wish we had been here a couple weeks earlier because I bet the trees would have been at peak fall foliage color. We saw long horns and bison several times, but unfortunately didn’t see any prairie dogs. We heard this park is mostly used by locals (~80 miles from Oklahoma City), and not many long distance travelers hear about it. Also heard there are great mountain biking trails.
