I have been camping with my Doberman's for 7 years. In my area there is no shortage of CG's that will accommodate us. My dog is very smart and has lots of camping savvy. There are a 4 parks in the area that prohibit Dobies.
Two are KOA's, and one is a CG with more rules than a prison. I consider it their loss not mine.There are plenty of CG's willing to take my money.
While camping or at home we often seek out dog parks were our Dobie can run free and interact with other dogs. He is very socialized and is good with other dogs or people. When the occasional ankle biter get loose comes yapping at him our Dobie does not get excited and doesn't seem to mind.
One thing about camping with a Dobie is that people are intimidated by him. He is friendly but his bark is fierce. While fearless he is smart and not aggressive he knows friend from foe.
Fellow campers do keep there distance. I do not have to worry about people cutting through my site.
He is a great dog that dog lovers often admire when we take our walks through the CG.
Once while at a large amusement park CG. One of my kids friends did not shut the door well and the dog got loose. Our site was right across from the playground.
CG personnel were alerted to him wandering in the playground amongst all the kids. They quickly tracked me down at the pool. When I returned to the RV the dog was sitting right in front of the trailer waiting for me to let him in.
He never showed any aggression to anyone. While the CG personnel were obviously concerned and monitored the situation. They said the dog behaved very well and returned to the RV without incident.
Dobie's are very intelligent and very trainable. My dog has learned anything I have tried to teach him. Dobies are smart,fearless and have a keen awareness. They do make great watchdogs. They are also very loyal, They are fine with kids and can adapt to most any environment. I believe they like an in charge owner who will give them firm direction.
As mentioned get a Dobie if you are committed to interacting and training a very smart purebred dog. Do not get a Dobie to improve your image, esteem or status.
Dobie's are fine for camping because they are smart and trainable.
I have owned Doberman's for the last 15 years and would not consider any other breed.
