Fulltiming with 8 K9's RV parks? lol

I can't help with your request.

But, I did want to congratulate and thank you for your work with animals. We need more people like you. :)

Enjoy full timing and your travels.

OK so yes we are nuts, but we are about to go fulltiming for the 2nd time. did it 10 yrs ago, but wasn't quite ready. we are now retired, ready to go, but we have a passle of little rescue senior, or broken dogs (throw-aways) and before you say give em away, it ain't gonna happen, they are our family. That being said we have 8,that travel well,none over 15lbs. so except for boondocking, are there any dog friendly remote places in the west, or warmish climate,with water,sewer? we are solar, and don't need power.. ok suggestions?? but BE NICE!

Thanks, K9 mom & dad

As much as I love dogs and have owned a lot of them through out my life I think your going to find it hard to camp in a campground with that many dogs. Most of the campgrounds that I've been in have a MAX of 3 dogs if not 2. Plus, all it takes is one person to complain about you and your dogs and most likely you'll be asked to leave....JMHO. I think the best way for you to get into a campground with that many dogs is to ask to camp in their safari field, if they have one.

ps we don't take all the dogs out at once, 2 at a time, they are not barkers,1/2 are blind, others are crippled, and we clean up after them..

I agree, most campgrounds have a max of 2 dogs and other RV'ers will complain about too many dogs, you will be asked to leave.

Boondock or don't go full-time if you choose to keep them all. Doesn't matter if you only take out 2 at a time, everyone knows how many you have and will report it.

The CG has rules for a reason or everyone would be bringing 5-10 dogs. Nobody wants a 100+ dogs in an RV park.

I honestly think you will be better served using all federal and state campgrounds. As one poster already pointed out, most places will not allow more than a couple dogs per site. Unless all of your canines are extremely well trained, ie. never bark at strangers, under control off leash, etc....you will certainly get complaints from fellow campers. I am not a "animal basher", I spent a good part of my career as a State Police K-9 Officer.

Wow, you see, all you naysayers .... thats the info I need and I am sure there are more of these kind of places, thats why I have asked.

I don't need advice what NOT to do...

Then you have come to the wrong place! :) You will find an abundance of people here more than willing to tell you that you can't, shouldn't, don't even think about doing such a thing, regardless the topic.

To be sure, on those widely spaced occasions that I find myself in a traditional CG, unruly dogs are at the top of my very short list of strangle provoking peeves. Directed to the owners, not the dogs. Come to think of it, that's the only peeve on that list.

If the dogs are kept on a 6' or shorter leash, do not bark and are picked up after, you can have 100 of them if you wish. You might even find me asking if you'd like my help walking them.

I believe most where just trying to alert you of the radical changes in CG rules pertaining to pets over the past ten years that you might not be aware of.

OK so yes we are nuts, but we are about to go fulltiming for the 2nd time. did it 10 yrs ago, but wasn't quite ready. we are now retired, ready to go,...

10 years ago there where no breed bans, 10 years ago they didn't have weight limits and 10 years ago the limit of dogs rule was often overlooked.

That has ALL changed and 'yes' it is difficult to travel with more than 2 dogs nowadays and nearly impossible to find a CG with a dog on the banned breed list.

Can you find CG's to stay at? Of course, but it will be more difficult to find the ones that will accept your crew.

Sadly you won't have the luxury of just pulling into the next CG late in the day. You will have to search ahead of time and plan for one that will accept them.

A LOT has changed over the past ten years. From one RV'er to another we just thought you might want to know about the changes, but then again maybe not.

Good Luck and Happy camping.

At the risk of being a naysayer....

Majority of public CGs do have a maximum dog limit/rule. That's a fact.
Many of them have breed restrictions in place by their Ins. Company

State/Federal CG do NOT but limit your length of stay so you will have to move constantly.

And as for that Doggie CG in LINK.....did you notice the statement
"Four Paws Kingdom is the first and only dog dedicated campground in the US"
First and ONLY......going to be hard to find similar type CGs that do not limit number of pets allowed.
