1 campground with availability this weekend
Lake Conroe-Houston North KOA's pet-friendly campsites feature concrete pads and convenient access to dedicated dog parks. The campground offers two K9 areas with ample space for pets to exercise off-leash. Both tent sites and RV spots accommodate pets, along with cabin options for those seeking more amenities. All sites include water and electricity, with many providing full hookups including sewer connections. The campground maintains strict leash requirements outside designated pet areas, and waste stations are available throughout the property. Pets must be supervised at all times, especially near the small fishing pond on the property. The campground is not actually located on Lake Conroe but rather alongside Highway 105, making it convenient for travelers with pets. Bathrooms and laundry facilities are available but cleanliness can vary according to visitor experiences.
Buck Acres provides spacious, shaded camping areas under 100-foot hardwood trees where pets can enjoy natural surroundings. Located just eight minutes from Walmart and Lake Conroe, this small campground offers a secluded woodland feel while maintaining proximity to conveniences. The campground features only six sites, creating a quiet atmosphere perfect for nervous pets, though occasional noise from a nearby dirt bike track may disturb some animals during daytime hours. Pet waste must be properly disposed of as there is no dedicated dumpster on site. Water and electric hookups are available for RVs, and the large, open camping areas provide ample room for pets to move around within their owners' sites. The tall trees provide excellent shade during hot Texas summers, keeping pets comfortable even during midday heat. The simple, rustic setting offers an affordable alternative to more developed RV parks in the area while still welcoming pets.
"Good dog park and plenty of activities available. I walk the dog a lot and run and road around the grounds needs to be repaved, lots of pot holes and uneven areas."
"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."
"We have found our Conroe home away from home. Great for kids."
"Not on Lake Conroe, & near a busy highway with businesses in view. Not a good place for nature or pretty views. Good place for a 1 night stay- lots of kids & families."
"Pets allowed and it has fire rings."
"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."

"This is a great spot to camp so close to the lake without all the hustle and bustle of other campgrounds in the area."
"Not very many sites so in general it’s fairly quiet though it’s right next to a dirt bike track so it can get loud during the day."

"Easy 2 mile paved hiking trial meanders around campsite and near lake. Nice sunsets in the evenings on the trail. There's a much longer trail system entrance that I'd like to checkout next time."
"The hiking trail although wasn’t very long at around 2-3 miles max were a pleasant walk in the woods and along the lake shoreline."
"This little pond is tucked back in the San Houston National Forest a few minutes off the interstate. I use this area to prepare for longer trips since it is so close to home"
"Stopped at Kelly's Pond when hiking the Lone Star Trail. It is a pretty basic camping ground. There is a compost toilet, but no water. There is a pond near by if you want to filter water though."
"Very clean all around. Spent time at the pool that overlooks the lake and grounds. Friendly neighbors, the park seems to be at least half full timers. The lake is stocked with catfish and perch."

TravelerWell maintained. Laundry facilities are clean. Pool and hot tub were open and clean. Nice pond to walk around. Cabins offered for those wanting to glamp. Offer both gravel and shaded spots as well as concrete and full sun spots. Close to services in town and convenient to resupply. Unfortunately, ants were abundant and took over the trailer. Was a struggle trying to get them under control with bait traps.
ScoutThe facilities are new and very nice. Study the website before booking to see if it’s what you are looking for. They do not allow refunds. Not much more than a parking lot with pools, showers, laundry, and access to a nearby walking trail. No grass or trees. But for what it is, it’s first class. Secure.
ScoutThe campsites have a lot of space & are surrounded by woods. The concrete sites are level and offset from the next site (one on one side of loop, next site on other side of loop), which allows for more space & privacy (stayed in #006). I had full hookups (water, electric & sewer) at $25/night (Disabled Vet rate). It was very peaceful & quiet, except for some work that needed to be done nearby.
TravelerWe spent the month of May 2026. Everything was great, we were in site #166 in the back of the campground. The neighbors around us were all polite and friendly. The pool & hot tub was nice and clean. My wife liked the laundry facilty. I liked they have a free dog wash station. They have a stocked catch & release pond which has bass, catfish and bluegill. The campground was close to local stores. We enjoyed it so much were going back for the cold winter months.
ScoutBethy Creek is an amazing resort and camp sight! We love going out here and spending the weekends. Have been going for the last 10 years and we plan on bringing our kids here as they get older.
TravelerGreat small FHU campground two loops about 20 sites in each loop. Well spaced nice trees. Bathrooms clean with hot showers.
ScoutI have been staying at Hidden Creek RV in Bryan, Texas, during football season for numerous years, and it is always a great experience. The staff is consistently friendly, and the park is equipped with all the amenities you could need. I love how clean the grounds are and that there is plenty of room to walk the dogs. The location is perfect for an easy drive around the College Station and Bryan area. Additionally, they stay in constant communication prior to arrival, making the entire process seamless. Highly recommended!
ScoutThe RV camp is safe, accommodating, and very affordable.
GuideI'd never heard of the Trinity River Authority before. It's not a name that jumps out when one thinks of camping. But in Texas, perhaps it should be. The private company built dams and reservoirs all over the state and funds their operations through water sales and permit use.
Lake Livingston is one such project, the 3rd largest lake in Texas and the largest one constructed for drinking water. The company is clearly very serious about maintaining beautiful and professionally run grounds. The sites are generally well-monitored, spaced nicely, and situated with great water views if you choose one in that area (see my map photo). The park does not allow day use in camping areas nor day entry at all on weekends, keeping the entire park reserved for paid RV guests.
I grew up around Lake Grapevine, another TRA project though I didn't know it as a kid. But I've never woken up to find a sunrise over a lake right outside my bedroom window. That's pretty special.
Like another reviewer mentioned, I did see a dog running loose and investigating people's campgrounds.
If you're in Texas and want peace, quiet, total darkness (there are no lights of any kind in the camping area), and lower temps than Houston, come check out Wolf Creek Park.
Montgomery, Texas camping destinations offer a range of pet-friendly options situated among the dense pine forests of the Sam Houston National Forest. Most campgrounds in the area sit at elevations between 200-300 feet, with the region experiencing hot, humid summers and mild winters. Fall and spring bring comfortable camping temperatures between 65-85°F with lower humidity, making these seasons optimal for outdoor exploration with pets.
Kayaking on Lake Conroe: Multiple access points allow pets to join owners for shoreline activities at Huntsville State Park Campground. "We got to use our kayaks, go fishing, swimming, and hike also. It was just gorgeous! We actually had our campsite in a perfect place for we could put our kayaks in and out of the water right behind our tent," notes Melanie C.
Hiking woodland trails: The region offers extensive trail systems accessible year-round. A visitor at Sam Houston National Forest Cagle Recreation Area mentions, "Great park close to Houston. Spectacular sunset views, super friendly host. Limited trails is only con, but even they are nice once you venture out."
Fishing opportunities: Stock up on gear before arrival as bait shops are limited. "The park has a great, huge lawn for a picnic and a game of frisbee. Check yourself for ticks after hiking the trails though. Its a thick forest," advises Amy H. about Huntsville State Park.
Wildlife observation: Morning and evening hours offer the best wildlife viewing times when animals are most active. "Saw a bald eagle, which was an awesome experience," shares one Cagle Recreation Area visitor.
Spacious, shaded sites: Tall pines provide relief from summer heat at many local campgrounds. At Cagle Recreation Area, "Campsites are mostly level, well kept, and there's ample shade. All are full hookups I believe. There aren't too many waterfront sites, but if you book early enough you may be lucky enough to get one," according to Debbie J.
Proximity to Houston: Most Montgomery area campgrounds are within 1-1.5 hours of downtown Houston. "Great park close to Houston. Spectacular sunset views, super friendly host," notes Jim P. about Sam Houston National Forest.
Seasonal swimming: During summer months, designated swimming areas provide relief from heat. "We loved our campsite and this beautiful park. We got to use our kayaks, go fishing, swimming, and hike also," reports Melanie C.
Quiet atmosphere: Many campers praise the peaceful setting of the more remote campgrounds. "We spent 3 nights in a full hook up site. It is a beautiful park and was extremely quiet after sunset. The staff and volunteers were very helpful and pleasant," writes Steven B.
Weather considerations: Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity. "The tall trees provide excellent shade during hot Texas summers," notes a camper about the tree cover.
Limited services: Many campgrounds have minimal on-site amenities. "There is a compost toilet, but no water. There is a pond near by if you want to filter water though," explains Brian V. about Kelly's Pond Campground.
Site reservations: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. "We arrived around 9pm on a Saturday because two other Sam Houston National Forest campgrounds we intended to stay at were already full," explains Richard E.
Leveling challenges: Bring adequate leveling equipment for some sites. "Our site was sloped a bit so had to use 9 leveling blocks. All sites have asphalt pads and are kept clean," advises a visitor.
Look for campgrounds with kids' activities: Some locations offer better family-oriented facilities. At Thousand Trails Lake Conroe, "Gorgeous campground with a large lake and two ponds, a pool, putt putt, & tons of activities for kids!" shares Nick & Allyssa S.
Check for bathroom facilities: Not all campgrounds offer full restroom access. "Clean camping grounds. Designated tent areas and fire rings. Hot showers and flushing toilets all in a clean bathroom," notes Jeremy K. about Sam Houston National Forest.
Plan for pets and kids: Most campgrounds allow pets but have specific rules. "We loved the easy access trail. The restrooms were clean although one stall door didn't lock. Power and water provided," mentions Viviana M.
Consider noise levels: Some campgrounds can be louder than others. "It's a beautiful park and was extremely quiet after sunset. The staff and volunteers were very helpful and pleasant," reports Steven B.
Site leveling: Bring extra leveling blocks for uneven sites. At Hillview RV Park, "They have 3 shower restrooms, laundry room that is accessible 24/7, a fitness room, and a recreational room. Great views and a pond to enjoy the sounds of camping," notes Connie M.
Hookup locations: Some sites have distant sewer connections. "Some sites I couldn't fit into. And no pull-thrus if that's your thing. Sewer hookup on some were a ways away so bring an extra hose. Mine was close but I seen others that needed 3 hoses," advises Daniel L.
Site selection strategies: For the best experience with pet friendly camping near Montgomery, Texas, arrive early to choose prime spots. "You drive around and pick a site, then call and let them know which one you're in. This is fine, but we were looking for a quiet, private site and there are very few of those," explains Debbie J.
RV length restrictions: Verify your rig will fit at your chosen campground. "The site is fairly level side-to-side with 2.75 inches low difference. The site is sloped front-to-back, but even with a long rig you should be fine," notes Steven B.
