Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Huntington, WV

Huntington / Fox Fire KOA features dedicated cabin options for pet owners along with spacious RV and tent sites that accommodate dogs. All pets must be leashed throughout the campground with a recently added dog park area for off-leash exercise. Robert Newlon Airpark RV Park maintains 50 pet-friendly campsites with concrete pads and easy access to walking areas along the Ohio River. Beech Fork State Park's Lower Bowen campground permits pets in designated camping areas but not in the swimming areas or public buildings. The park's bathrooms are impressively clean and well-maintained, with frequent daily service that benefits campers traveling with animals. Local campgrounds are searchable through The Dyrt's listings.

Campers bringing pets to Virginia Point Campground benefit from level concrete pads at every RV site and gravel surroundings that minimize mud issues during wet weather. The area is well-lit at night and regularly patrolled by local law enforcement, creating a secure environment for evening dog walks. Old Orchard Campground enforces strict policies allowing only one tent per site unless permission is granted for additional setups, though multiple family members with pets are permitted. Lake access points provide opportunities for dogs that enjoy swimming, though owners should note the campground's proximity to highways means keeping pets secure is essential. Morning traffic noise can occasionally disturb sensitive animals during early walks along the scenic trails.

    Huntington / Fox Fire KOA

    Party Central

    We enjoyed our stay at Huntington/Fox Fire KOA! This is a holiday KOA that offers more amenities for vacationers. It has very close proximity to I-64 in West Virginia, and you can hear the traffic pretty clearly.

    The staff is wonderful, they obviously care very much about their jobs and we enjoyed talking to them. They keep the property very clean which is saying a lot because it’s a very busy park. Each day we watched the park nearly empty and by sundown it was mostly full again. On the weekends it was full to capacity, and it’s occupants were out enjoying their time!

    There is: great cellular for TMobile and AT&T, laundry, dog walk area, storage, cabins, a store, a swimming pond, small beach area, and some sites have fire pits. The picnic tables were pretty dated.

    The hookups are a little strange. You share pedestals in many of the sites. And the arrangement is a little strange but it works.

    Shawnee State Park-Ohio River Campground

    Very Peaceful, Very Clean

    We stayed in Site 09. The sites are spacious with level, asphalted pads. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table.

    Toward the front of the campground is a great splash pad, playground, and dog park, which includes an agility course. These are located away from the RV's; therefore, the campground was very quiet and peaceful.

    Nearby was a marina, fishing access, and an archery range. The surrounding hills are pretty.

    The bath house was clean. A laundry room was available.

    The only drawback was the lack of shade. Because this place is relatively new, in time--as the planted seedlings grow--this problem will lessen.

    Robert Newlon Airpark RV Park Huntington, WV

    Nice campground train tracks directly next to it

    The campground is small. Has a nice dog park. Pickle ball courts Cafe Sky diving right here. The Ohio river is visible. The only real problem comes with the train tracks right here. The trains are close and do blow their whistle for crossing by the office.

    Moxley Branch Campground — Beech Fork State Park

    Looking for a great getaway with lots of stuff to do?

    Go to Beech Fork! I’ve been camping here with my family for close to ten years now and we always have a blast. I’ve stayed in primitive sites and RV sites and you can’t really go wrong with either (my review will be 4 stars until I check out the cabins)! Whether you’re looking to spend some time on the lake, fish, hike, bike, or even learn a thing or two about West Virginia history, Beech Fork will typically have you covered. The park stays clean and the staff are pretty good people as well!

    Ashland Huntington West KOA

    Nice Campground Close to Interstate

    KOA Review

    The campground it’s self is very clean and taken care of. We were there in early March with winter temps. The staff was extremely nice and helpful, bath house and laundry was clean. The water at our site was inoperable and they offered to move us without me even having to ask which was nice. The site could be maintained better ours had lots of tire ruts and fire pit could have been better for the price. Overall it’s a good campground with amenities in great shape. A good little dog park that was extremely clean, putt putt, and more. I would come back again in the off season just cause we like camping with less crowds.

    Oasis Point RV Resort & Adventure Lake

    Very peaceful

    Quiet spot next to an industrial area. Nice view of man-made lake with a number of fishing huts for catch-and-release fishing. Pets allowed leashed, with no tie-outs permitted. Helpful owner who escorted us to our campsite with full service hookups but no picnic table or fire ring (some sites had tables). We had a peaceful overnight stay.

    Poppy Mountain Campground

    Off Season-Place to Ourselves

    Got there in April and basically no one was there which was awesome. Although we did lose our long haired cat named Trouble, she has her collar and chip but there were dogs around and she never came back. Attached is a picture. Other than the weather and losing Trouble it was great.
