    Lewis & Clark Trail State Park Campground provides secluded sites for campers traveling with pets. Dogs must be leashed within the campground boundaries, with specific pet-waste disposal stations located near the restroom facilities. Sites offer ample space for pets with picnic tables and fire rings where dogs can settle nearby. The campground has a loop trail through dense foliage that follows a small river, giving pets space to explore while on leash. Pet owners note the private campsites create natural buffers between camping neighbors, minimizing pet-related disturbances. Each site maintains enough distance that well-behaved dogs rarely cause disruption to other campers.

    Tucannon River RV Park allows pets throughout their year-round facility with full hookups for RVs. The park enforces a strict leash policy and has designated pet waste stations. Nearby Blue Valley RV Park provides concrete pads with ample space for pet setup, featuring clean facilities and well-kept grounds that pet owners appreciate for daily dog walking. During summer months, several campgrounds in the area report significant mosquito activity, requiring pet owners to consider pest protection for dogs. Panjab Campground permits pets with picnic tables and fire rings at each site, though reviews indicate limited drinking water access requires campers to bring sufficient water for themselves and their pets. Godman Guard Station's rental cabin accommodates families camping with multiple dogs, with enough space for larger groups and pets at a reasonable price.

      RV Resort Four Seasons

      Lots of hookups

      This site was right next to Fort Walla Walla, with a park and dog park. Not much else here but weird animal statues and long-term RVers. Lots of hookups for RV and trailers. No tent or car camping. The bathrooms were still closed June 2021, need to use your own hookups.

      Tucannon River RV Park

      Peaceful

      Beautifully maintained campground with friendly camp hosts. Affordable, large pull through sites. Large shade trees in several sites. Some of the most level sites we’ve stayed in. Community fire pit or bring your own to have in your site. Nice bathrooms with showers ($1 in quarters for 7 minutes). Plenty of grass area for kids to play in. Pets welcome. Close to Tucannon and Snake Rivers. Open year round.

      Blue Valley RV Park

      Nice Campground

      Our GPS took us right to the campground (CG) plus there was plenty of Blue Valley RV Park signage to guide the way into a small industrial area and the adjacent golf course. Check-in was quick and we proceeded to back-in site 8 with FHUs. The utilities are towards the back of the pad, so I had to use two sewer hoses to get from the main black tank on our Brinklely G model. The sites on this side of the CG are nicely landscaped with a decent amount of room. After reviewing all the rules on line, we were a little concerned but the management was not overbearing and there are four main rules as displayed when you check in 1) 5 mph speed limit, 2) don’t park in the road) 3) pick up after your pet, and 4) pets on a leash. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. We got 4 bars on Verizon. There were no mature trees in our area, so we did not have a problem getting a clear shot north for our Starlink. We logged into the Wifi and it was above average, but the CG was not full. The CG is near a small but nice industrial area near the police station and humane society. Go to Walla Walla’s main street area where there are far more wine tasting rooms than you can do in a day. Grab pizza from the Sweet Basil Pizzeria. This CG was a good choice to visit the area.

      Chief Timothy Park

      Chief Timothy review , tents and cabins

      The actual location and grounds are amazing. Right on the Snake river. So much walking and fishing. And swimming. Kayaking. Even cat fishing. The tents sites are very crammed next to each other though. The cabins are cute and small. No bathrooms in them but there are Public bathrooms and showers. Very busy on major holidays in the summer.

      Pendleton KOA

      If you have another option go there

      We have been here for month and honestly that 29 days to long. This place is okay for one night but if you want piece and quiet, this place is not it. The spots are so close together that you can hear others conversations. Every other day we were woke up from the park staff talking beside my RV running sprinklers, doing lawn care, or something. Don't leave anything on their picnic table or they will knock on your door at 9:30 am and they will keep knocking til you answer. Sure there's wifi but good luck using it. Pet park really stinks. Yes dogs use it but they don't treat it so on a sunny day it's strong stinch of piss. Almost Unbearable. Staff in the office are sweet but maintenance guy is an asshole. But the veins are beautiful.

      Hood Park

      Watch for the Sprinklers!

      I appreciate the green in this park, but hate that the sprinklers have to be running almost non-stop to keep it that way. The noise of them scared my cat. 

      Tried to check in early, but was not allowed. Hung out in the day-use area. 

      The sites were big and some nice trees. 

      Electric, but no water. Was told to fill up jugs at the faucets scattered around the park. The water was disgusting! I filled one jug and it came out a light brown color. The park host saw the expression on my face and came over to tell me the water is tested every day and is safe to drink. Safe or not, I was not about the drink that. 

      There's a nice walk around a pond in the back of the campground. Overall, a decent place to stay if you're in the area, but not my favorite.

      Wildhorse Resort Casino RV Park & Tipi Villiage

      Shady park like view

      Fairly level site 95 fit our trailer & truck totaling 55”. People tend to not leash their dog which is a problem for my dog. Full hookups, check in is 3pm out is 11am. About 10 miles outside of Pendleton, OR (post office for mail and packages, Walmart Supercenter and Safeway. Arrowhead travel center for gas or munchies that has easy RV access. Free WiFi and 2 bars of Verizon LTE. Just off of Hwy 84. We did not enter the casino. Roosters restaurant in Pendleton provided safe distance dining in a clean environment.

      Minam State Recreation Area

      Wow, wow, wow!!!!!!

      I had originally intended on staying at one of three closer campgrounds that I ultimately rejected and made the decision to drive on to Minam State Park. Was I ever happy I did. The only downside was the 2 mile, narrow, gravel road into the park. A little bit of a nail biter with a bigger rig. Once there it was a nice size, dry campground with lots of sites to choose from and right next to the gorgeous Minam River. Whitetail doe with 2 fawns frequented the campground. Lots of fishing, some small trails and wound up walking down the dirt road with dogs as there was literally no traffic and the views were so outstanding. Apple trees alongside the dirt road provided a wonderful, unexpected snack.

      Chief Timothy Park

      Just OK

      We have stayed at Chief Thimothy quite a few times. It doesn’t seem as well kept as other parks we like! The grass is blotchy, so if there’s rain, there’s mud...no rain,lots of dust and dirt! Easy access to the river with little docks along the shore. Swimming area available,too! Bathrooms, laundry, and full hookups all available. Dog friendly!


    Guide to Dixie

    Pet friendly camping near Dixie, Washington tends to get busier in summer months when temperatures can reach 90-95°F during the day. The area sits at the edge of the Blue Mountains, creating diverse camping opportunities from riverside spots to mountain forest settings. Mosquito activity peaks in June and July, particularly near water sources.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: Lewis & Clark Trail State Park Campground offers easy access to fishing. "The river is so close to hop in. There is no super easy walk in route to the river that we found. You may need to scramble over some stuff," notes Clare M., who recommends secure water shoes for navigating slippery rocks.

    Hiking trails: Jubilee Lake Campground features a 2.8 mile trail circling the lake. "There is a 2.8 mile hiking trail that takes you around the lake with breathtaking views all along," explains Brandon K., who also mentions this is a popular spot for paddleboarding and canoeing during summer months.

    Swimming spots: Tucannon Campground offers good swimming options during summer. "Absolutely love the area. Quiet and away from others," writes Sean S. Many campers note that swimming holes along the Tucannon River provide welcome relief during hot summer days when temperatures frequently exceed 90°F.

    What campers like

    Private campsites: Lewis & Clark Trail State Park Campground receives praise for site privacy. "This campground has nice and private sites. The shower is only 1 stall that is a bit rustic," reports Nanette C., noting that water levels in summer can be quite low.

    Night sky viewing: Mottet Campground offers exceptional stargazing opportunities. Aaron B. states, "Great place for astrophotographers when conditions are right!" He also notes the campground is "super quiet, very shaded, a really ideal campground" with significant space between sites.

    Accessible facilities: RV Resort Four Seasons provides well-maintained amenities for pet owners. "This site was right next to Fort Walla Walla, with a park and dog park," mentions Jaime B., which gives pets additional exercise options beyond the campground itself.

    What you should know

    Road conditions: Access to some campgrounds requires preparation. For Mottet Campground, "you will need a higher clearance vehicle to reach this campground, and signage may be limited so make sure you know your step by step directions beforehand," warns Aaron B.

    Insect preparation: Jubilee Lake Campground visitors should prepare for bugs in summer. Sam notes, "The bugs were not bad even though we were close to the water and it was late summer," but adds that trash accumulation near the water is an issue, suggesting bringing extra bags for cleanup.

    Water availability: Some campgrounds have limited drinking water. Jennifer R. cautions about Tucannon Campground: "Free during the off season but don't get stuck with a dead car battery. Can get really cold and no phone service and very few people pass by."

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming safety: Midway Campground offers good family camping with nearby water access. Nick B. shares, "There are plenty of logging trails to hike within walking distance, and more a short drive away," making it versatile for families with different activity preferences.

    Campsite selection: Family groups should consider site locations carefully. When staying at Lewis & Clark Trail, Clare M. advises, "If I were to do it again, I'd reserve one additional for that size of group. The campsites were on the smaller size. Site 13 had significantly more shade than site 14."

    Weather preparation: Family camping requires temperature planning. Andrea M. visited Lewis & Clark Trail State Park and reported, "It was awesome-clean, each space was very private and the restrooms were great," but warned, "The only thing that bothered us was the mosquitoes!"

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup options: Tucannon River RV Park provides full hookups for RVers traveling with pets. "Finally a park where you have a little space between RVs. Full RV hook-up and internet for $35 per night," notes Eric H., appreciating the spaciousness uncommon in many RV parks.

    Level sites: Blue Valley RV Park offers concrete pads. Mary F. states the sites "are well designed paved and level. Nice landscaping. Park full but quiet. Walking distance to downtown wineries and restaurants."

    Seasonal considerations: RVers should note operating dates. Jubilee Lake has specific seasonal availability, with John 'n Sara D. noting, "The nights get chilly, so be prepared with warm socks and a beenie, especially if you're tent camping."
