IMO: The pet fee is in place to pay for any damage/mess from pets, and to pay for those dog waste bags that the campgrounds provide. Also, it goes toward maintaining a fenced dog run,(if the CG has one). An inside cat would not be applicable.
I agree, but I am also willing to bet that when you check into most campgrounds and mention a cat, you will be charged the "pet"fee.
I have two old, indoor only cats. When I check into a campground, if they ask about pets I reply "I do not have any dogs." Have not paid a pet fee yet.
There is a park in MI we where we stayed a few years ago. It says on their website "no pets." We wanted to stay there so I called and talked to the manager, explained my cats never leave the coach. She was very nice, explained the rule applies to outside pets only. It's in place because it's a family park with lots of children. Dog owners in the past hadn't been conscientious about picking up after their dogs, creating unsanitary conditions for the children at play. So now, any pet that poops outside is banned.
