Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Texarkana, TX

270 Reviews

Texarkana KOA's pet-friendly cabins offer accommodation options alongside tent and RV sites where pets can stay with their owners. Clear Spring Campground and Atlanta State Park also welcome pets throughout their facilities, with most campgrounds enforcing leash requirements. Texarkana RV Park & Event Center features a small designated dog area, though some visitors note it's limited to a 6x6 foot chain link enclosure. Forest Lake RV Park provides pet-friendly glamping options with picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Most campgrounds maintain clean facilities with varying levels of hookups for RV campers traveling with pets. Atlanta State Park Campground receives positive reviews for its pet-friendly environment with spacious, shaded sites nestled among pine trees.

Wright Patman Lake campgrounds provide water access for pets with several boat ramps and swimming areas where leashed dogs can cool off during summer months. Hiking trails at Atlanta State Park offer exercise opportunities for dogs, with the park's natural setting attracting wildlife including deer that frequent the area. Campers should note that while pets are allowed at all listed campgrounds, enforcement of leash rules varies by location, with some visitors reporting off-leash dogs at certain sites. Millwood State Park Campground, located about 45 minutes from Texarkana, offers additional pet-friendly camping with lakeside views, though cell service is limited. The park's beautiful lake setting provides excellent opportunities for fishing and water activities with pets. Most campgrounds require pets to remain on leash at all times, with waste disposal expected of pet owners.

    Clear Spring

    Excellent Corps of Engineers campground

    This campground is exceptionally well managed. The facilities are basic, with bathhouses throughout, centrally located dumpsters, walking trails, and grounds workers constantly working.

    The location on Wright Patman lake is awesome. Many of the sites are lakefront, others are in shaded loops within a 2 min walk of the lake shore.

    The campground is an easy 15-20 minute drive from Texarkana and there are stores and restaurants closer than that.

    Texarkana RV Park & Event Center

    Not impressed

    Made reservations for a back in site. Upon check in, nobody was in the office. Called the number on the door and was directed to park in the pull-through immediately at the entrance. Gate is broken and doesn’t close, nobody at the check in, RIGHT off the highway. Didn’t feel safe. Very loud. Playground area was very old and not maintained. “Dog park” was a 6ft x 6ft chain link square. Lots of permanent lots that are kind of gross. There is a new Love’s hookup & Sunrise RV parks nearby— will be using those in the future! Will not be back.

    Sunrise RV Park

    Great spot

    Small stone roads that were clean and nice. Sites are very close together, but well maintained. Full hookups and pull through sites. Dog park and bath houses. Only complaint was the road noise was very close and when a semi tire blew it was extremely loud. All utilities are nice and neat on concrete slabs.

    Texarkana KOA

    Nasty

    Te office is nasty dirty has a moldy smell. The bathhouse has mold on shower curtains no soap to wash hands problem flushing toilet.  There was wires zip tied to lady's side . No security after hours and no way to get help after lady leaves at 5. The dog park had poop everywhere and other campers had dogs running off chain. No lights at night was very scary the back of park was awful.  Grass and weeds growing up needs a major clean up and maintenance!!! The playground is near drains that child could fall and very outdated and ran down. Wifi was very poor to say less

    Sunrise RV Park

    Great location & customer service !

    We called and let the office know we were 30 minutes away and the park office was closing in 5 minutes. Shannon said she would wait for us! She was so helpful and even offered to help us hook up as we arrived just as it was getting dark. She also let us know that she was on call and said to let her know if we had ant issues. Bathrooms were spacious and clean. Easy on off interstate and food/gas nearby. Small dog park but nice to let pups off leash for a bit. With fan on we didn’t hear the traffic from road. Perfect spot for overnight stay for 2 adults &our pups.

    Atlanta State Park Campground

    Excellent park with boat ramps!

    Atlanta State Park is nestled pretty far off the beaten path (nearest highway) deep in the pineywoods. It sits on the edge of Wright Patman Lake near the Texarkana region on the Texas side. Has plentiful campgrounds that are nearly maintained, two different boat ramps (both in good condition) for fishing, along with multiple swimming areas (with beaches) for folks. The major plus to this lake is that you can easily bring a boat with you when you're camping, because of the plentiful spaces at campsites and boat ramp access.

    Wright Patman Lake is a decent lake, but does have a fair amount of stumps along the edges- watch for the bouyees. Fishing is good, water can get very warm in the summer which is nice for swimming.

    Overall it's a beautiful park and the best park along Wright Patman Lake in my opinion. I've also been here at least two dozen times and enjoyed each experience.

    Piney Point

    Clean campground

    Clean campground with decent sized sites. Only a handful are 50 amp, which we were fortunate to get. The park isn’t very large (about 50 sites). Exterior sites have more space between them than interior sites. Lots of people pulling their boats up to the shoreline and docking there. Lots of shade. Nice little campground, but because of the size, don’t expect to be “away from it all.” Nice playground for those with kids. Rocky Point campground (also COE) is just around the corner. Only cons (not the park, but camping etiquette): I have noticed a lot of folks not adhering to the “pets on leash” rule, and people also don’t seem to mind walking through others’ campsites. Beautiful trees, water is nice, and the campground is close to town if you need to run out for supplies. Will definitely camp here again.
