Hello all. Saw something tonight that I haven't seen before. I was looking at campgrounds in Holland mi. Like to make a trip there next spring. Not necessarily during the tulip festival but while they are still bloomed. Anyways I read the fee schedule and it wasn't terrible. Then I saw a pet fee of 3$ a pet. That's $9 for us and it is enough of a difference to look at other places. My question is ...this common at campgrounds? We are newbies. This was our second season as rv ers.

It is not uncommon anymore. I asked the owner of a campground why he charged for pets and his answer was because people were not picking up after their pets.

Idk I suppose I haven't ruled out the park completely as it looks nice. I suppose I'll have to come to grips with it....or boondock :)

Having two dogs I hate to see this, but don't have a problem paying it. There isn't a place we go that I don't see where someone failed to clean their mess. Worse, some who think they bag it, then leave it lay for someone else to deal with. Just planin stupid.

We have a toy chihuahua and that fee is almost what she weighs. I agree, if they have dog facilities. Not juat charging for a dog because they can. What about cats?

There's a state park in Holland. They won't charge a pet fee.

Check out Zeeland, MI for Dutch Treat. They are closer than Oak Grove. Not fancy but very friendly. The State Park has full hookup sites at the beachfront also

I think people who don't like dogs at campgrounds should just go to campgrounds that don't allow dogs. It's a win-win for everybody.

A $100 per pet would be fair. More if the owner can't control their pet. Even more if the pet is smarter than the owner........

As long as the same applies to children I'm good with that.

I see far more disobedient and troublesome children that I do pets by a wide margin.
