    The Colorado River runs alongside several pet-friendly campgrounds, though steep banks at Colorado Landing limit direct water access for dogs. Multiple hiking and biking trails throughout the region welcome leashed pets, with Oak Thicket Park offering walking paths where wildlife sightings include deer, birds, and squirrels. Pet owners should be prepared with waste bags as amenities vary between parks. Bastrop and Buescher State Parks, both within driving distance, permit pets in most outdoor areas while requiring them to remain leashed. Summer temperatures in the region frequently exceed 90°F, necessitating early morning or evening walks for pets. The abundance of trees at many campgrounds provides essential shade for pets during hot afternoons. Local wildlife observations may require extra vigilance with pets, particularly at dawn and dusk when deer are most active.

      Beautiful park with great amenities

      This park is on the Colorado River and the grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Large, level sites with full hookups. Two large dog parks and walking trails by the pretty river. A great Mexican restaurant is within walking distance from the park.

      Whispering Oaks RV Park

      Nice campground

      We were greeted immediately by a friendly attendant, and quickly led to our campsite. The grounds were lovely, with beautiful live oaks, a manicured walking path among the oaks behind the property, and a nice garden with chickens and guinea fowl for entertainment. The property included a playground, a dog park, and an activity center (inaccessible because of COVID), laundry facilities, propane, and more. Each campsite was very clean, with a picnic table, and lights in the oaks for ambiance.

      I recommend this place!

      Bastrop/Colorado River KOA

      Easy access to the campground even during road construction

      Management of campground very helpful in difficult times. We arrived during a utility upgrade so television was unavailable. Due to Covid restrictions the pool was by reservation only. The park is very pretty however only half of the campsites have shade and ours was unshaded at 90 plus degrees. The pet area was excellent. The campground is located adjacent to the Colorado river, unfortunately there is zero access to the river. With close proximity to the highway, the park was surprisingly quiet.

      Whispering Oaks RV Park

      A quiet little Gem!

      What a gem of a park! We only stayed one night so I did not get to use any amenities except for the DOG Park! What a wonderful amenity with the automatic lights for after dark. Park was very clean and quiet. The way the site was set up was truly delightful. Picnic table in just the right place, Oak tree in just the right place, outdoor decorative lighting, awesome fire pit. I really wish I had time to stay longer. This place will be a“must” stay the next time I come thru. Highly recommend!

      Rocky Creek (Somerville Lake)

      A hidden gem with gorgeous sunsets!

      I recently went on a camping trip solo (minus the hubby) with my old-man dog here. We tent camped at site #177. This is a beautiful park on a beautiful lake! Here are some of the pros: friendly couple at check-in/entrance shack, friendly rangers driving around checking on folks, deer everywhere(!), beautiful lake view, well-maintained grounds, good shade trees, trash dumpsters within walking distance, electricity/water hookups worked great, picnic table/fire ring/grill, gorgeous sunsets(!), very quiet at night, cute and clean little beach/swim area to hang out in. The cons for me were: getting to the water from my site was not as direct as it looked on the map, circular bricks with holes on the shore were not dog friendly (not human leg friendly either), bathrooms/showers were closed in our area/circle due to Covid-19. I would ABSOLUTELY return to this park!! 

      I really appreciated the hospitality shown here! They recognized that I was a lone female (but a very confident/independent one) with an old man-dog and, respectfully, went out of their way to make sure that we were okay!

      we really enjoyed our time here. the camp site managers were very friendly and helpful. we took the time to walk all the trails around the area. they allow dogs as well as long as they are on a leash. nice bathrooms are located close to camp sites. would definitely recommend this place.

      Overlook

      Great camping spot!

      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!

      Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground

      Great shelter, clean showers & toilets

      We stayed at Stephen F Austin State Park in Texas in early May 2018. We went as a family with 3 kids (3yrs, 5yrs & 7yrs old).

      We had a screen shelter that was powered and had a light. It was a great spot with close access to the showers and toilets (we were shelter number 1).

      The walking trails we nicely kept. Some were closed but still able to go for a decent walk around the ones that were open. We saw deer grazing in the long grass and early evening the fireflies came out which was so lovely and relaxing to watch.

      Park hosts and volunteers was all very friendly and helpful too. One had a hummingbird feeder set up and we saw a hummingbird feeding.

      The playground was very basic - 4 swings and a sandbox only.

      We will definitely be going back again as if is only a 1 hour drive from Houston.
