If you take your dog type child camping with you remember one thing.  Dogs tend to bark when left alone.  Not all do but a lot of them do.  If you want a bunch of upset campers leave a dog at the camp site and then leave.

If while camping you can't take your dog with you on side trips maybe it would be better to leave the dog at home in the care of someone.

A lot of campgrounds now restrict the size of a dog in an effort to keep vicious dogs out.  Others have a list of the types of dogs that they do not allow in the campground.  If you travel with your dog it would be a good idea to check the rules before pulling in.

One reason we liked about camping was campgrounds are pet friendly, unlike hotels.  I'm sorry to hear that some are not allowing pets.  Y IZ IT some have to spoil it for others!!!Angry

I agree 100%.  Taking the family dog along is part of the fun of camping.  The dog will get more attention then than any other time.

We have a little Maltese and she is happy just to get to be with us.  She has her own little carrier...I take her to the bath house with me and she sits patiently in it while I shower.  She has become a real 
"camper dog"  all 8 pounds of her!
Happy Trails!

Sounds pretty good!  I used to keep a water dish at the edge of our lot when camping.  Dogs get thirsty when walking the campground!Tongue

     After 12 wonderful years with our Sheltie " Monty " we had to put him to sleep 12 days ago. They do bark but they make great companions for camping. We are now thinking about another dog but none will replace the one you had.        David and Danette

Sorry for your loss. We had our 12 year old sheltie, Angel, put to sleep two years ago and said we would never have another dog as it was too painful to let them go. Didn't last long. We now have two shelties in our Pod, one is a barker and the other quiet as a mouse. Camping was just not the same without a Sheltie. Our motto is "Shelties are like a potato chip.........you can never have just one".

... and let me add, if you're one of those people reading this right now saying "Oh, they're not talking about us.  We know our dog is good/quiet when we leave him/her in the camper when we'll take a stroll".................. YOU'RE WRONG.  Your dog is in fact barking and whimpering most of the time your're gone.  It only shuts up when it senses you're approaching the camper on the return trip.

Just please be considerate of the fact that not everyone enjoys your dog(s) or the mess he makes or the barking he does or the times the inconsiderate owners feel that "they" don't need to leach their dog.

There are these little gadgets called bark-collars.  Why don't people use them?  A good one (and I wouldn't recommend the cheap ones you get at PetCo) are very safe and effective.  They are also programmable with a wide range of intensities.  It's so stupid to make public policy (not allowing dogs in camp-grounds) based upon pet owning idiots.  Why not tell the offenders to leave?
