I have been camping with my Doberman(s) for over 13 years (one passed to the bridge and the new one is 2 1/2), I usually go to state parks or places that will accept the breed. I always call first.
It does fall on the "choice" of the insurance company the campground chooses on what breeds to restrict if they have restrictions. Not so sure about size issues.
The only time we ever had an issue is when on a walk around the CG our leashed, well trained Dobie was attacked by an unleashed Chi-mix, my dog listened and went to the down position and stayed when I commanded. The Chi-mix tore my son's pants and tried to bite my dog. The owners only tried to "call back" their dog and had to physically come to the road to pick it up while it fought them!
I am totally against Breed Legislation for many reasons. I know not everyone will agree. But you don't see some breeds that should be on the lists. My Vet can tell you what breeds give the staff the most problems.
So yes, call ahead.
