Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Texarkana, TX

264 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Best camp ground. Very kid friendly and pet friendly. Most of the spots have some of the best views you have ever seen. Wonderful playground for the kids.

    Texarkana RV Park & Event Center

    Great park, but tight spots.

    Texarkana RV Park is a very nice, clean, and friendly RV park. They have a gated entrance for extra security. The park has nice amenities such as pool, playground, laundry, restrooms, dog run, and park-like setting with duck pond. Most sites are pull-thru and plenty long, but narrow. Beware of your slide placement before parking, as site poles may be in the way of a slide fully opening. Each site is gravel with a patio and they have 50 amp FHU. We enjoyed our stay at this campground and would definitely stay again. 👍🏻😊
