Good !
I would like them to charge $50 per dog, Then when we took our morning walk we would not have to worry about some dog come out snarling at us.
Just out of curiosity; do you obey the length of the Parks leash law?
Do you let your dog do it's business at your camp site or do you do like every other dog owner and walk it to someone else camp site.

Hello,
Your 1st question, Yes, we maintain our dog. She will not come out snarling at you. If we are out, our dog is on a 6 ft leash. She loves people and would love to meet you. She's very affectionate. I always say be careful, she may lick you!
Your 2nd question, yes we obey the park's leash law. Always on a 6 ft leash.
Your 3rd question, our dog will not poop at our campsite, she considers this as her home. So we go to the dog walk, or a hiking trail, she poops and we pick it up. We do not use adjacent campsites.
Yes, we see where others have not been as diligent. But we pray that good will prevail and they are in the minority. It is a sad sign that a few thoughtless people can ruin it for everyone else...
BTW - do you wonder what the park actually does with the $40? Nothing I suspect. How does the fee solve the problem? So all they are really doing is discouraging camping in Arkansas. Hmm...
