Max number of Dogs in CA State RV parks?

What is the maximum number of dogs one can have when staying at a California State Park.
I am afraid to ask.
We have a Class C with 5 Chihuahuas.

  • Why lie?? Just don't do it. If they don't like/want that many utilize your wheels and move on.
  • Call each RV park in which you have an interest. They are privately owned so each one makes up it's own rules.
  • No specific limitations on number that I know of, but many California State Parks will *not* allow your dogs on the beach or on the trails.

    Either way, it can't hurt to call ahead and ask as others have mentioned.
  • I'm reasonably confident your mom and dad raised you better than that. The lie is causing you stress, as manifested in your post. It's past time to grow up and live with the decisions you make relative to the rules governing the rest of society. Call ahead to see if the campground accepts your 5 dogs. If not, call another one. If none will, be prepared to either boon-dock, pare down on the number of pets or find another hobby conducive to the inclusion of a small kennel. Otherwise, you may be in for a rude awakening compounded by your untruthfulness. But, deep down you already know this. Hope you make better decisions and enjoy your experiences.
  • I checkered the park brochure... didn't say any numbers.
    Got in late last night... no reservation.
    I was afraid they would say NO... if I said we had 5.

    So when she asked...just 2 came to mind.
    So.... sounds like 5 would be OK.

    I was surprised we got a spot.
  • I haven't seen any specific limitations that apply to all California state parks. Here is the policy that covers them:

    You might want to check the park brochure for your specific park.

    That's what I was thinking. I'd be ashamed to come on a web site in front of lots of people and admit such a thing.
