Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Kingsland, TX

786 Reviews

Inks Lake State Park Campground's pet-friendly sites accommodate both tent and RV campers with water and electric hookups at most sites. Dogs are welcome throughout the camping areas, with standard leash requirements in effect for all pets. The campground features spacious sites with picnic tables and fire rings, some backing directly to the lake for easy water access. Freedom Lives Ranch RV Resort allows pets and offers the unique amenity of pet boarding services on-site, making it convenient for campers planning day trips away from their campsite. Sites 345 and 346 at Inks Lake provide excellent lake views and are popular among campers with pets seeking waterfront access. Most pets adjust well to the park's natural surroundings with proper preparation and supervision.

Several hiking trails around Inks Lake accommodate leashed dogs, allowing pet owners to explore the pink granite formations and scenic lake views together. Canyon of the Eagles Lodge & Nature Park and Big Chief RV Resort also maintain pet-friendly policies with various accommodation types including cabins that accept pets. Dog owners should be prepared for wildlife encounters, particularly aware of the fire ants that can appear suddenly at campsites. Burnet, the nearest town, offers basic veterinary services and pet supplies for emergency needs. Krause Springs permits pets in designated camping areas but requires them to remain leashed at all times, especially near swimming areas. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended to protect paw pads from hot surfaces, particularly on the granite outcroppings common throughout the area.

    Firefly Resort

    Very nice however ..

    We rented a tiny home and RV spot. It was wonderful. We also rented a golf cart to use at the resort. Our two day trip was$1000 but worth it. Had to pay$10 each for the dogs and$10 for my 5 yr old grandson which we knew up front and we're ok with. Upon arrival saw a dog park and a nice young man showed us to our spot and helped us back in. We then asked if the tiny home was pet friendly as the literature we received at the gate mentioned pet friendly units. The young man called up to the office and was told it was pet friendly. We had planned to keep my daughters dogs in the trailer with us but as they were crying for their momma and we were told it was pet friendly we let her take them with her. A fabulous trip and memory making Thanksgiving....that's where the goodness ended. After leaving we received a notice we would be charged a fee to deep clean the unit after we"broke the rules". Who spends that kind of money and the"breaks the rules"? We explained the man called and got cleared but we're told he denied the entire episode. So if you dare experience make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing.

    Berry Springs Park & Preserve

    Hidden gem near Austin

    Nice park and campground very near Georgetown, Texas. Berry Springs is a local county park and preserve. The Park is located just north of Georgetown Texas about 1 mile off Interstate 35 the main highway between Dallas and Austin. It’s a Great location with loads of open space. They have basic sites with covered picnic tables, fire rings, and hooks for hanging items. The former ranch has a lot of history dating back to the Texas Pioneer days. The park is located next to clear spring fed river for swimming and fishing. This may be a great option for those looking for a location close to Austin or a local family weekend. The camp was nearly empty in October this year which is the peak season for camping in Texas. The sites are best suited for tent camper, vans, and smaller trailers.

    Miller Creek RV Park

    Hidden Gem

    I first chose this RV park because it was further away from Johnson City (I wanted a quiet RV park that wasn’t too close to the busy traffic). I was not disappointed. My girlfriend and myself have stayed here twice and we will be going back in November. The office staff is friendly and very helpful. The sites are gravel/dirt but the are all level. There is a nice size dog park area for an RV park of this size. Me of the things I love is taking my dogs to the park first thing in the morning and watching the cows in the pasture next to the park through the fence.

    The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park

    Very nice park

    Stayed there 3 nights during our visit to the Texas Hill Country. The park is 5 minutes from Fredericksburg. The pads are gravel with full hookups. Very clean laundry facility. There is a central area with dog park and place to walk. The reason for the 4 rating is that our site was at the top of the park with a downward slope which made it very difficult to level. Fredericksburg is a must see and so are the wineries. And great restaurants too. If in the area, we would definitely return to this park.

    The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park

    Nice camp ground

    Camp spot was nice. area was taken care of and clean. Both my dogs loved the "off the leash" dog park. Close to town and not to far from the Enchanted rock. Also another good site to see is the old tunnel. Stayed during Christmas so the town was decorated very nicely. Will definitely come back again.

    Lady Bird Johnson RV Park

    Clean and Quiet

    This site seems to be ran by the city. It's very well kept, clean, quiet and spacious.

    I read mixed reviews about spacing but found it was no issue being low season.

    We took someone else's recommendation on here and reserved a spot by the dog park. We had spot 84. Those are all pull through spots and face the dog park and airport.

    Personally, we loved watching all the dogs play and the planes coming and going. It was far enough away to watch without being annoyingly loud.

    We were minutes from Das Peach House, Dietz Distellry, downtown, and HEB.

    Lady Bird Johnson RV Park

    Convenient and pleasant

    Sites are close together, gravel, and not all are level. There are also extreme amounts of painful grass burrs in the lower camp area. But there’s also a beautiful dog park, butterfly garden, rustling trees, wide roads for waking, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. Very convenient short drive to downtown Fredericksburg and many wineries. It’s also fun to watch the airplanes at the nearby airport. Family and dog friendly. We would go back.
