I agree with those that have said take them with you. You will enjoy your trip so much better. About 4 months ago we planned a trip to go camping in our pop up we had. We planned to go this past Oct. We have 2 small dogs, a Silky Terrier and a Brussels Griffon. I worried for 4 months what we would do with our dogs. We had not gone on a real camping trip for years. But I even considered canceling the trip because I was so worried about them. We don't have anyone that we could leave them with. We live out in the country so there is no kennels we could leave them with either. My husband really fought me on this too. So I just decided we were going to take them with us not matter what! I drove over 200 miles with them in the car by myself. I brought them a soft pillow for one to sleep on the other one stayed in the back seat on top of all our stuff and really enjoyed watching things outside. They did extremely well on the drive and then when we got there they barked at one dog one time and that was it. I stopped them pretty quick. When we left for a while they never made a sound. They were good as gold. I was so grateful I made the decision to take them with us!! I truly enjoyed our trip much better. I know they were very happy to be with us. Our dogs don't eat well if we leave them. I would have worried the entire time if I didn't have them with me. It would have probably ruined the trip for me. Now that we have our Roo they love it even better. So do a test run and see how it goes. They may really surprise you!

We usually bring our puppies with us but it does depend on what we plan on doing. If we will be hiking or just sitting around the campground we bring then for the trip. If we plan on more activities like zip lining or horseback riding we leave them at a doggie hotel at home.

Our Shih Tzu/Doxie mix knows when we are packing for a trip, and you should see how excited he gets, especially when his blanket and bowls are loaded into the MH. If he sees me putting the same things in a bag, that means a weekend at the kennel and it breaks my heart to see him so dejected. He even hid under the bed once, before I could get him into the SUV. Now, we take him unless we will be away more than we'd be in the campground.

To answer your questions...yes. You can leave your dogs under the care of a dependable person. We feed and water our neighbors labs when they travel. I know other rvers who trade out, taking care of each other's dogs when they travel separately. Good luck.

Do like we do and let them pups run!!! We never go to Martha's camping emporium only to national forests or blm. Our dogs go where they please, so long as we can see them and they dont run off (which they never have). Happy, happy happy!!!

If only once in your life, you must take your dogs camping on the Oregon Coast. It is the most dog-friendly place I have ever been......and they only place I've ever been scolded for not letting my dog off the leash (It was on our new deaf dogs first experiance at the beach, and we were initially hesistant about letting her run free. Needless to say, we took the chance and she had the best two weeks of her life)
A couple years back, when we realized our old pooch wasn't long for this world, we amended our summer plans so that he could spend one more summer holiday romping on the Oregon coast.
I couldn't imagine not taking my dog camping with me, or being presented with a "breed restriction" at a campground.
Our old pooch Jet enjoying the Oregon coast one last time:
Our new pooch Molly, I think the expresssion says it all.

We struggle with this. We love to have our "kids" with us. However, we love to hike and explore esp in the national parks. Dogs are not allowed on trails in National Parks in bear country and we don't want to leave the dogs in the camper for 8 hours +.
Funny story, 3 weeks ago in SMNP, we passed a ranger and 100 ft past that saw a lady carrying a toy type dog up the trail. We stopped to take a picture but were interested in what the ranger was going to say. We didn't hear the exact conversation but we did hear the following quote quite clear " I KNOW YOU are SPECIAL, but..." Lady was very unhappy, but trail head was CLEARLY marked

x2 - I just don't enjoy my vacations as much without my little boy, but I only have one and he's 13 lbs at that which makes it quite easy to take him along.

X3 - That's EXACTLY what we did....we take 5 with us....every time, they love it, 1 big dog, 3 medium and 1 small. Turned the back "fancy" cedar closet into 4 separate dog pins.....we swap one out at a time to be loose with us while driving.
If you look at my picture of my rig, there is a Golden Retriever sitting in the drivers seat!

We lost our 'Hannah' girl back in March 2013, also a black lab. She was daddy's girl all the way.  I agree to let them enjoy what life has to offer, they're with us such a short time. Wish we'd gone camping more while she was still with us.
