Learn how to camp with a dog in our ultimate guide to camping with dogs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camping is a family affair and your dog is very much part of your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most dogs enjoy being outdoors, so it\u2019s natural to want to take them camping with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Days out on the trail, a crackling campfire and dog cuddles in bed \u2013 nothing beats a weekend away with your furry best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your dog is a seasoned camper or has never ventured out of the city, follow our guide to make sure your camping adventure is fun and memorable for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Consider Before Camping With Dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While many campgrounds are doggy friendly, it\u2019s always worth checking the rules before you turn up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Are Dogs Allowed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Campgrounds may have specific rules for dog owners or only allow a certain number of dogs per site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re camping at more remote sites or in the backcountry, then you\u2019ll need to check if dogs are permitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rules and regulations vary depending on who owns and manages the park or land you\u2019re on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many places, you may be able to take dogs on trails but not take them camping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in the US, there\u2019s a handy guide to which national parks you can take your pet to on the National Park Service website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Your Dog’s Camping Personality?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like humans, dogs have their own idea of what\u2019s fun and what\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that most of our four-legged friends love the great outdoors as much as we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But like children, if you drag them off on an activity they don\u2019t enjoy, they\u2019ll make their displeasure clear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some dogs are fit enough to run around all day, but if your idea of fun is a 20-mile hike and your dog refuses to walk more than 5 miles, you\u2019re going to run into problems.

While you may be able to carry small dogs, if your dog is larger or doesn\u2019t enjoy being carried, then you may need to temper your expectations for the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, camping is supposed to be fun for you AND your furry friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, if your dog is nervous in crowds or around other dogs, you may want to choose a small, secluded campground over a big, popular site or go wild camping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Pack When Camping With Dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t want to travel to the middle of nowhere only to find you\u2019ve left the dog food behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you add the essentials your dog needs (plus a few treats) to your camping checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
