The Essentials

What Makes a Campground Truly Pet-Friendly?

A truly pet-friendly park goes beyond just allowing dogs. Look for campgrounds that provide “Bark Parks,” washing stations, and plenty of open space. Avoid parks with strict “pavement only” rules that can hurt your dog’s paws in the summer heat.

Planning Your Route

Don’t get stuck at a park that turns you away. Use tools like **RV Trip Wizard** to filter for pet-friendly spots along your exact route. Whether you need a secluded site for a nervous dog or a social park for a playful pup, planning ahead is key.

Essential Gear for Pet Campers

To keep your pet safe and happy, you need the right gear. We recommend a sturdy **RV Dog Ramp** for senior dogs, a portable fence for creating a safe yard, and a temperature monitor to keep them cool while you are away.

Keeping Pets Safe on the Road

Safety comes first. Always carry copies of your pet’s vaccination records and know where the nearest emergency vet is located. Never leave your pet unattended in a hot RV without a reliable power monitoring system.
