How much do you want to be out and about in the parks? Are you planning on being gone from morning to dark? Or do you plan on only leaving for an hour or two?
For me, if I'm going to be out and about all day long doing things the dog can't do, then it doesn't make sense to bring the dog along. I'll just worry about them the entire time and end up coming back to the RV early OR not going out in the first place. The dogs end up bored and I end up dissatisfied with the trip.
Instead, leaving the dog with your family member means you can make a phone call to see how she's going and then go enjoy yourselves without worry, guilt, etc.
