I have some favorite campgrounds for winter and some for summer. The difference is striking.
The summer campgrounds are high in the sierras and away from main highways and sightseeing areas. Folks are there to camp and enjoy the campground area. They fish, hike, etc., and the dogs are with them all the time.
The winter sites are down in the foothills and close to major highways, etc. Folks will often leave the campground for the day in their tow or towed vehicles. Often the dogs are left behind in the RV. When the folks return, the dogs are often outside the RV in pens while the folks are inside.
I would find the latter annoying in high season because of the quantity of sites filled. But, in winter, there is usually plenty of room to spread out.
Sometimes you can avoid issues by learning the differences between various campgrounds.
