From a campground owner regarding the number of pets / dogs allowed: In the off season, we travel with 2 dogs and 2 cats. We have always called ahead to see if 2 dogs is too many. Several years ago, when we were in Arizona - sorry I do not remember where - we could not stay at a park we wanted to because a) their pet section was full and b) we had more than 2 pets. At the time we had 3 cats - none of which liked the out of doors, but loved looking out the doors. The park host (?) was kind enough to find us another park that was further down the road, but that would accept our 3 cats. So, when in doubt - Always Call ahead.
From a park owners persepective, we can understand - sometimes - why a number limit has been put on pet occupants. We allow 2 without our approval. If someone has more, we find out the size and breed before saying yes or no. We prefer to put persons with larger breeds and multiples in our back in sites as they offer more space and less distraction to the pets when left alone. We do limit the number of larger breed dogs, especially if they are on the insurance carriers advisory list.
Insurance requirements over the years have us asking for breed of pet when customers make reservations. This all due to the insurance claims regarding pet attacks in the past. We have not heard of any in the recent past. While we have not said no to any one breed, we have asked persons to leave the park when they leave their pet outside while they are off premises or overnight while they are sleeping.
I will post this also on the Snowbird Forum. But if anyone has any questions, do not hesitate to contact the specific park you are interested in and be very specific in your questions.
Thanks for listening. Hope this helps.
