Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Schulenburg, TX

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Whispering Oaks RV Park's off-leash dog area with automatic night lighting gives pet owners a secure space for dogs to run freely. This well-maintained facility in Weimar, just east of Schulenburg, features level camping sites with full hookups alongside pet-friendly cabins. Colorado Landing RV Park provides spacious sites with individually designed picnic tables adjacent to the Colorado River, plus a large dog park with separate areas for different sized dogs. Most campgrounds in the region enforce leash requirements outside designated off-leash areas, with owners responsible for cleaning up after their pets. The park bathrooms and shower facilities remain exceptionally clean despite accommodating pets, with many sites offering shade trees and grassy areas ideal for walking dogs. Schulenburg RV Park allows pets within walking distance to local restaurants and attractions. Several sites near Schulenburg, Texas are featured on The Dyrt.

Iron Horse RV Resort and Splashway Campground maintain well-kept grounds that accommodate pets with outdoor exercise areas. The walking path among live oaks behind Whispering Oaks provides a peaceful route for morning and evening dog walks, with chickens and guinea fowl adding entertainment value from their securely fenced enclosure. Most parks offer fire pits where pet owners can relax with their companions during evening hours. Wildlife sightings including deer and squirrels are common along the Colorado River at Colorado Landing, requiring dogs to remain leashed in these areas. Veterinary services are available in nearby towns, and many campgrounds provide pet waste stations throughout the property. Temperature considerations are important when camping with pets in this region, as summer heat often necessitates early morning or evening walks when pavement temperatures are cooler.

    Colorado Landing RV & Mobile Home Park

    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!

    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!
