Eisenhower State Park Campground offers tent, RV, and cabin options for pet owners visiting Lake Texoma. The park maintains clean facilities with regularly patrolling park rangers to ensure safety for visitors and their animals. Dogs are welcome throughout most areas of the park, though they are prohibited at the swimming beach. Campsites feature fire rings with grills, picnic tables, and sufficient spacing between sites to minimize noise from neighboring campers. The rocky lakeside terrain provides interesting exploration opportunities for both campers and leashed pets, with several hiking trails suitable for dog walking. Bathrooms and showers are well-maintained and centrally located within camping loops.
Lazy L RV Park in Sherman provides a convenient overnight stop for travelers with pets, featuring super clean bathrooms and showers. While not particularly scenic, the park maintains a quiet atmosphere and offers a swimming pool for relaxation after a day of travel. The gravel sites are level, with small grassy areas available for pets. Nearby, Paradise on Lake Texoma and Thousand Trails Lake Texoma accept pets in their cabin accommodations, extending options beyond standard tent and RV camping. During summer months, pet owners should be mindful of the extreme Texas heat when planning activities with their dogs. All campgrounds in the area enforce standard leash policies, and campers should bring waste bags as dedicated pet waste stations may be limited.

We were in the walnut loop, spot 52 and it was awesome. Plenty of room and the site backs up to the lake so we could walk a path from our site to the lake to fish.

The KOA is clean and well maintained. There is lits of space for the pull throughs. Dog park is amazing, host are friendly and kind. They are very welcoming and the store is small, but clean with a little bit of everything for everyone! We will definitely be back!

Super easy in and out. Pretty much every amenity that you would want at a very modern campground.

Red River Ranch RV Resort
Red River RV Resort (Deluxe) in Thackerville OK is a hot mess to be polite. The entire campground is covered with goathead sand burrs. It's impossible to go outside and enjoy any part of the campground. If you do go out you have to be very careful not to bring any of the sand burrs into the camper. The property owner / management knows of the campground issues but they're not doing anything to fix the issues. The pool and hot tub are disgusting, both have green slimy water with leaves, dirt and whatever else blew into it. The community room is locked and you have to ask at the office to get access. The community room has multiple TV's but none if them turn on so whats point in having them. On the good side it has two nice pool tables so its has some purpose. The gym area is packed with equipment but looks more like a storage locker than a gym.The campground has a good laundry room and okay WIFI. The showers are okay, older facilty but it all works. It has a fenced dog park but again It's covered with sand burrs so its unuseable. There's several empty/abandonded campers through out the campground. We went down the street to the local public park, sadly the park is unuseable as well due to the sand burrs being everywhere. It appears sand burrs are a bigger issue in the area and just not only at the campground. The campsites have full hook ups, some of the sewer hose tubes have caps while others don't. The neighboring campsite sewer connection didnt have a sewer cap and it has a huge wolf spider living in it.... we had planned to stay the full 14 days but leaving early due to the 8 billion sand burrs. Our dog is unable to walk in the grass, dirt, pavement without a paw full of sand burrs. I'm very disappointed C2C thinks this is a deluxe campground, I would be embarrassed to be in any way connected to it. There's other campgrounds in the area that have similar nightly cost ($40 - $50) if I was to pay outside of the C2C members rate with useable grass yards, clean useable swimming pools and community rooms. This could be an amazing campground if someone would fix the issues. As it stands now I would avoid this campground at all costs.

Bonham State Park Campground
Okay for an Overnight
This is a very small campground with a central bathroom/showers up the hill from the campsites. The lake means bugs. The bathrooms were not terrible. The showers were clean-ish.

Surprise
O boy o boy will you be in for a surprise at this supposedly resort style RV PARK. No trees, no covered sites, no pool or hot tub, bathrooms are covered with bugs. Office is never opened. New management sucks and get ready to sign your life away on long term contracts

Super Park RV
Where do I start
False advertisement. Owners are not accommodating. Pool and hot tub (not a heated hot tub at all) haven’t been opened since we got here. Absolutely nothing “resort” about a residential pool with no heat in a hot tub that hasn’t opened).
Owners changed rules (require a 12-month lease that is very in depth and doesn’t pertaining to living in a RV park but more like leasing a house or apartment), pricing and everything else in a matter of 2- month. They are so bad; our property manager resigned after only 3- months here. Google reviews are all fake reviews. No trees, no covered sites, no guest/overflow parking. Dumpsters are always overflowing and owners have no one on property during the hours they have listed as their “open” hours. Photoshopped pictures on their website, I would stay clear of this place.
Guide to Sherman
Lake Texoma straddles the Texas-Oklahoma border with 580 miles of shoreline and water levels averaging 615-619 feet. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F from June through September. Winter camping offers milder conditions with daytime temperatures typically ranging 50-65°F December through February.
What to do
Hiking trails for dogs: At Eisenhower State Park Campground, trails are suitable for leashed pets with varying terrain. "The trails are great and the Rangers are friendly and share a lot of knowledge. Cool beach with caves," notes Susan F.
Lakeside fishing: COE Lake Texoma Burns Run West offers excellent fishing opportunities near the dam. "We caught nice catfish off the big rocks. The sunsets and stars are beautiful," reports Melanie W., who enjoyed daily hikes and found wild muscadine grapes during her stay.
Swimming beaches: For families wanting water access, several campgrounds maintain swimming areas. "The swim area in this park is down a pretty steep gravel trail that I had a hard time navegating," warns one reviewer about Eisenhower State Park, suggesting visitors consider accessibility needs when planning.
What campers like
Shaded campsites: Burns Run West provides excellent tree cover for hot Texas summers. "Loop C is wooded so there is sufficient shade to cut out the sun. We enjoyed our stay and will return in the future," shares Michael R. about the campground's large pull-through sites.
Waterfront camping: Paradise on Lake Texoma offers lakefront sites with direct water access. "The RV site itself(#36) was easy to back into with plenty of space for our outdoor set up. Fair warning, the water hookups are FAR from the site. Do not under estimate how far these things are," advises Taylor V.
Pet-friendly atmosphere: Most campgrounds near Sherman welcome pets with standard leash requirements. "The gravel sites are level, with small grassy areas available for pets," notes a camper about accommodations for four-legged friends.
What you should know
Summer heat precautions: Temperatures frequently exceed 100°F in July and August. "In the summer it gets very hot, nice hiking," reports Alice R. about Eisenhower State Park, suggesting early morning activities during peak summer months.
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. "If you want a good spot, reserve early," advises Carrie K. about camping on Lake Texoma.
Lakeside terrain: Isle du Bois Campsites at Ray Roberts Lake State Park offers diverse shoreline access. "Bring shoes though! Lots of little prickers in the grass down by the lake," warns a camper identified as K7, highlighting the natural hazards present at some sites.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature designated play areas. "There are several playground areas central to the various campgrounds with easy access for your family. Showers and restrooms are close by the playgrounds as well," notes Matt S. about Isle du Bois.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Camping near Sherman provides chances to see local animals. "We have car camped on a few occasions here and each time we saw plenty of deer around camp," adds Matt about Isle du Bois, making it a good choice for introducing children to nature.
Group camping options: Thousand Trails Lake Texoma accommodates larger family gatherings. "Our big group has gone to Eisenhower twice. The park is on Lake Texoma. We went to kayak and camp. They have good hiking trails, great campsites, and lots to do," shares Amy J.
Tips from RVers
Hookup locations: At Paradise on Lake Texoma, water connections can be distant from some sites. "With 75ft of hose - we were barely reaching the nozzle. Again, we warned of this when making our reservation," notes Taylor V. about the park's infrastructure setup.
Road conditions: Internal campground roads vary significantly in quality. "The roads within the park itself could use some serious attention," warns Emerson F. about Thousand Trails Lake Texoma, suggesting drivers proceed slowly, especially with larger rigs.
Site selection strategy: "The first spot I chose had a bad pedestal, so I had to pick up and choose another spot. I would definitely recommend checking the pedestal before unpacking," advises Emerson F., highlighting the importance of testing electrical connections before setting up at dog friendly campgrounds near Sherman.
