We went to Florida for several years with 3 dogs: 25, 55, and 75 lbs. KOAs have always been our "go-to" parks; but I don't think we ever had problems finding a place, assuming we were staying away from heavily-camped places like Orlando.
Regarding bad dog owners: While Ed and I try VERY hard to basically be invisible and silent, following all the written and unwritten rules to a "T" - I also think it's silly to expect peace and tranquility, in an activity like RV park camping where we are all crammed into a tight space. Dogs will bark. Children will run and shriek. A noisy truck will be started. It's camping - just roll with it.
Some folks insist that "dogs be boarded". I, like so many others, am unwilling to board my dogs for more than a few days; so have purchased an RV (actually three) specifically to bring my dogs along. I, and millions of others, are supporting the RV industry - I don't know where one could find the statistics, but I wonder if pet-owning RVers might even be the majority?
