Best Dog-Friendly Camping near College Station, TX

The dog park is horrible. It’s all sand and no bag dispenser like other “luxury” resorts have had. The internet is not good at all…tv cut out every two minutes. Nice pool. No trash pick up on Memorial Day and the dumpster was overflowing by that afternoon. Site 55 is NOT for RVs over 36 feet. We have a 42 ft fifth wheel and it was horrible trying to get into the spot.

We stayed here for about 5 weeks and loved our stay! Lots of great amenities and awesome staff! Friendly neighbors and a lot of full timers so not a lot of traffic or noise. The park was clean with full hookups, wide roads and level concrete pads. Pet friendly- our two doggos loved the dog wash station! Highly recommend!

This is our 4th trip here. And we have already planned our 5th. We love how big this park is. Each time we come and get a new site, it’s like a whole new park. Nestled in the trees our first time out with rocks, and today we are on a flat concrete pad. Lots of room to bike. We love the lake. We haven’t even used the pool or facilities because of Covid but we still love it here. Everyone complains of the roads but nothing different than the state parks we use. So far we have had no problems with the equipment or hook ups. Bath houses are nice but we don’t use them. The dog park is perfect for you and your puppers to make new friends. There is a boat launch and pier for fishing. Plus catfish cove. I did not have any luck in the little bass pond. I will say, this place gets busy on a Holiday but the kids like having so many others to play with. We especially loved our evening basketball tournaments.

We stayed here for almost five weeks, and we had a wonderful time! A wonderful team and a multitude of wonderful amenities! There is not a lot of traffic or noise because there are a lot of full-time residents and friendly neighbors. The park was spotless, and it featured wide roads, concrete pads that were level, with complete connections. Pet-friendly; our two canine companions absolutely adored the dog wash station. Recommendation heartily! contexto

Secluded, wildlife, pet friendly. Owners and staff are wonderful.

Summary: Nice small older park with mature trees & two loops. Sweetgum and sycamore. We stayed in the sycamore loop site #28. Sycamore loop has a boat ramp on the southern end as this park is on lake Conroe. Pros: IMO there is allot to like at this quiet park. Shade, mature trees, most sites had adequate space between them, full hook-ups,30 & 50 amp, newer style fire rings with adjustable grates to cook on. Although there was a fire ban when we went. Access to the lake if you like to boat or fish. Grounds were well kept up while there, no stickers in the grassy areas of you have pets or little ones. I hate if we go somewhere and there are thorns in our dogs feet when we walk them, that is no fun but not here. OHV area trail head with miles of trails are minutes away.

Cons: Our site was really off level side to side. We have auto leveling and it wouldn't work it was so far out of level. We had to manually do it. Side to side isn't fun. Front to back is much easier to set up. So I would say bring leveling blocks or boards with you in case you need them. Be prepared. Also as with any park sites rig size vary as to what can fit where. So my advice is to go visit it and pick which one you think you'd fit into best and mark it down for when you want to go. Some sites I couldn't fit into. And no pull-thrus if that's your thing. Sewer hookup on some we're a ways away so bring an extra hose. Mine was close but I seen others that needed 3 hoses. I always carry two 10 footers and one 15 footer. No swimming area for the kids. No fishing pier. Fishing access is not great at the campground. Huntsville 20 miles away for supplies, food, etc. No store close by. Hope that helps.

👎🏻 Cons:

• It's a big concrete parking lot with hookups- nothing special beyond that

• No picnic tables or grills 
• Grass only around the edges of the lot (Keep that in mind for pets) 
• Some spots around the edges had a tiny bit of shade

📝 Park Notes: 

Large, bright light poles and the lights are on all night, hard to tell when the sun is coming up and not just the lights. But no stumbling around in the dark. 

It was nice being at The Western Club with friends for the ShuffleFest weekend event and not having to drive 45 minutes back and forth. The RV park is directly behind the Steakhouse& Dancehall.

It is a great spot to stay if you're going to the Western Club. It wouldn't be my first choice for a vacation destination though. It is right off the feeder road for Highway 6, but the road noise isn't terrible.

Charged me more then what I confirmed on the phone and when asked, she said it was because I was next to the lake (which I didn’t ask for). Hardly a lake! More like a swamp which my dog couldn’t swim in hence the reason I booked a lake campground. My site had dog poop piles, Pool closed at 8pm as I was walking up which was long before it got dark and wifi worked for a total of 5 mins. Bathrooms were dirty and shower leaked everywhere all over my stuff (no benches to put stuff on). Water from tap at site not potable and there’s red ants everywhere (toes are so swollen this morning full of bites). Not worth the $65 I paid

Have stayed at this park many times and never disappointed. Park is always clean and has all the amenities. Won't find a more friendly and professional staff- second to none. Woods with trails allow for walking, with or without the dogs. You won't be disappointed staying here- highly recommend.

Loved this place! super easy to find and near all major shops! Bathrooms were super clean and modern, easy access to the lake and dog friendly. We stayed for just 2 nights but we def will be coming back!

We were are spot T2, along with another group at T10 (only ones camping out there)! The spots are somewhat close together. It’s an all-around great camping spot. Has ample sites to camp either in tents or RVs, with both electricity and water hook ups. Really quiet, everyone is respectful of the 10pm silent rule. Good shade spot while tent camping in the summer. Campsite is a walking distance from bathrooms and showers. Close to water (walking distance) for swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, etc. By the campsite (not the marine side) there is a small inlet of the lake that is great for swimming. Other parts are too deep, but are perfect for taking a boat out and fishing! Staff is very friendly with any questions. Very dog friendly. Good price!

This place is very nice, but no one is enforcing the rules. Dogs being walked with no leashes, and not picking up behind them. 9 year olds driving golf carts with the adults on the back. Kids in hot tub, even diapered babies, and I saw an offensive flag flying. All of these have rules against them at the park, but I saw no one patrolling the park to enforce any of it! They need to pave the roads, it's so full of potholes and uneven pavement very rough to drive. There's a very small section of paved sites. The rest is on uneven graveled ground and so close together I couldn't walk between our site and the RV parked next to us. Sites NOT assigned, we were told to go find a spot, then come back and tell them what spot we were in. It was so crowded that this process took us about 45 minutes to do. Then go back and get the parking passes for the park. If not for all that I would have given this park 5 stars.

TP not available in women's restroom SWEETGUM most of the 2 nights of our stay 

No security drive-throughs by park staff
