Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Moody, TX
Mother Neff State Park Campground offers full pet accommodations with spacious, immaculately maintained sites throughout its camping area. The park's 20 RV sites feature water, electric, and sewer hookups on level concrete pads with crushed granite patios that are meticulously raked between guests. Dogs are permitted throughout the camping areas but must remain leashed. Iron Bridge Park at Belton Lake provides a more primitive pet-friendly option with grassy areas and covered picnic tables, though without established campsites. White Flint Park and Winkler Park Campground also welcome pets with picnic tables and water access. The campground loop facilities at Mother Neff are exceptionally clean with modern restrooms and shower buildings constructed during the park's 2015 renovation. Feral cats are occasionally spotted throughout the park grounds.
Dog-friendly hiking trails wind through Mother Neff State Park with several trails accessible directly from the campground. These paths offer varying difficulty levels suitable for all pets, with highlights including the historic CCC viewing tower, cave, and washing pond areas. The trails remain manageable even after light rain, though owners should be vigilant about poison ivy which grows abundantly throughout the park. The secluded sites provide private spaces for camping with pets while maintaining reasonable proximity to facilities. For pet owners seeking outdoor recreation beyond the campground, Belton Lake offers additional water access opportunities a short drive away. Wildlife viewing opportunities are plentiful during evening hours at the park's pond area where deer are frequently spotted along the outskirts of the camping areas.
