RV Park Dog limits

Glad our favorite campgrounds do not have a size or number rule. When the kids are with us we sometimes have 4 dogs, Now we have two & have an extended visit puppy making 3. 30 lbs to 70 lbs.

In July camping we saw a family with 4 Greyhounds very quiet and another family with 3 horses I mean Great Danes (huge) all were very well behaved. Around were hundreds of other dogs & people..........

I don't ever call ahead. But I am a full timer and have no real planned destination like a weekend camper. That said.

I don't call ahead, I just show up with my 4 small dogs and as of yet have never been turned away where their was a limit number of dogs CG rule.

It's just good company policy for them to say no on the phone based on the posted CG rules. If I was an owner I would too. I found if you just pull in they often make exceptions to the dog rule cause you are already there, they see you and what you have, and they want your money!

Most have a weight limit more often than a limit on number of dogs.

I did stop at one CG which I was hoping to stay a month and they had a 3 dog limit, weight limit 35lbs. I just said if I added up the total weight of all 4 or my dogs I would be under the 35 lb rule! The owner laughed and said yes I guess you would be waved me in. :C

I y case.would think with all the RV'ers tearing down the entrance gates that the campground owners would take it case by case. I have never lost any sleep because of excessive yapping. I'm sorry. I did lose sleep one night when a couple next to us decided to hold divorce hearings in the middle of the night.Oddly enough,they weren't yapping.

I love my dogs as you can see by my signature. All of our dogs have been rescue dogs. The most we've traveled with is 3, right now we have two. I see no problem with your having four, but others do and since it's your money, go where it is accepted. It always pisses my husband off when we had the three and RV parks limited us to two. His question was for them and those that charged extra for pets, was, "Do they limit the number of pets for the amount of poop or charge more for the amount of poop they have to pick up? Not! Because they don't do either!". Well, our dogs are not barkers and we take them with us when we go out touring, but I'm sure others don't abide and the RV parks have to either abide by their insurance clauses or to keep their non pet owner customers happy. Go somewhere else. Who needs that hassle anyway!

I agree with CollieHauler - we even had one park that had a one-dog limit, let us in with both dogs if we agreed to not flaunt that "rule change" by walking both dogs at once! I've also had a park with a 30-lb limit, let us in with Ike at 73 lbs and Jack at 55. I don't ask for these considerations - but I surely thank them profusely when offered, and I make sure I'm the best darn dog owner that ever visited them, too.

I traveled full time for a couple of years back in the '90s with my Golden Retriever "Beau". I ran into a number of parks that had weight restrictions. "No dogs over 40lbs" or similar.

I didn't find any flexibility in the park operators when I tried to explain how quiet and well behaved my four legged child was.

Very frustrating.

I agree with the comment above regarding "voting with your $$".

I am a dog lover till the end but these rules are for the good of everyone. There was a couple at the campground last week that had just 2 of these little fuzzy white things. They even kept them inside but any time someone would walk past they would go crazy and set off a chain reaction to where the whole area was nothing but barking dogs. I just avoided that part of the park when walking my dog.

The other end of the park was equally entertaining. I was walking down the street with my dog and came to a site where some guy was encouraging his little dog to growl and bark and try to attack us while we were going past. I guess he thought it was funny that his little football was so brave to take on my Rottweiler. Well this get old really fast from people that dont control their dogs let alone someone that encourages it. Just then it popped into my head to see what all the entertainment was about so I stopped right in front of the guy and turned to face him. Naturally my dog turned and stood at my side. I just stood there for about 5 seconds with this little yapper foaming at the mouth and the guy chuckling about it. Just then I said 2 words..."watch him".... and gus launched to the end of the leash growling and snorting and kicking grass all over the place. That guy scooped up that dog and ran inside. Never seen the dog again the rest of the weekend. It was kinda enjoyable I do have to say. Now I see why he did it.

Here is my little guy.

I have traveled with 4 Collies (down to 3 now) and have never been turned away. A couple of parks the owner was hesitant and came out to meet the Collies. I always ask when I check out if any complaints, so far none. The way I look at it their campground their rules. My money my choice.

Oh, I bet he is a tad bit bigger than our 3.8 pound girl. She has an identity issue. She hops around the grass like a rabbit. And, she climbs on the back of the couch like a cat. She even attempted a cat-like jump onto the bed...and didn't make it.
