I wasn't keen on taking Jack, our elderly Cattle Dog, on our 2+ week trip to Florida in January due to his dimmed sight (cataracts) and poor hearing. But he did fine - the RV park we stayed in had a fenced dog park, and he enjoyed ambling along the fenceline, marking as he wandered...LOL! But he seemed to be using it as his sight aid - he always kept it on his right side, and simply walked a "lap". I would never have allowed him to be loose in the dog park if there had been dogs other than my own in there, though - a strange dog startling him would have ended badly, I'm afraid.
Something I should have done for him, in hindsight: bright sun in his cloudy eyes blinded him 100%. If I could have taught him to wear some sort of hat/sunshade, he might have been able to see a bit?
If your dog loves to camp (which ALL of mine surely have) - take them along. In Jack's case, Florida was his last trip. I'm glad he had a fun time.
