Smart preparation keeps camping with dogs relaxed.

Rules of the Campground
Once you've set up camp, familiarize yourself with the rules. We scrupulously obey all leash laws because we don't want to be the reason dogs can no longer stay in our favorite campgrounds, Palika says. Poop pickup is important. We pack a good stock of the narrow plastic bags that our newspaper comes in, Armstrong says. Quiet hours are usually from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., and most campers don't appreciate barking dogs.
Most of all, be considerate of others and respect their rights. We go overboard to be good neighbors and campers, and wish all dogs owners felt the same way, Palika says.
Like a good scout, be prepared, follow the rules, and have a safe and fun camping experience! Page 1 | 2
