RV Park has dog park in it.

Lake George RV Park They have a two acre dog park. They estimate 60% of their guest bring a dog. Off leash park with spray fountain for cooling off. Dog wash station. Dog treat vending machines. Synthetic turf. Large and small dog areas. Beats the heck out of most places that give you ten by ten spot out in the weeds to poop your pup. Maybe if other parks follow suit there wouldn't be so many dog complant posts.

James Island County Park in Charleston SC has one too. It even borders the pond where the dogs can swim. Bog dog and little dog ares.

Bog dog? What's a Bog dog? Is that a dog from the south that grew up in a bog? Or, do they have a dog area in the park that is a Bog so the dogs can get wet, smelly, and have fun like dogs like to do? :B

I wish they had a camping area with a dog park closer to me. But, I've never found any real problems with my dogs at the small county parks I frequent as long as the dogs are under control and not bothering anybody.

Changed title and context of post. Wasn't going where I planned. My fault. Let's start over.

Tawas Point State park (Michigan) opened up an entire dog beach on the bay side of the park a couple of years ago. Dogs can be off leash and the area has some snow fencing on each end as the borders. Huge area, several acres. They put in a wooden walkway complete with a water spigot and buckets to clean your dog up leaving the beach. The Lake Huron side of the park is the better swimming beach for people, but there is still lots of area to swim on the bay side that is not dog beach. This is one of the nicest State parks in Michigan and they are always making improvements.

Will put that park on our must stay list.

I don't camp with a dog. Does that make me a "hater"?
Where does that idiotic term come from? If you have a difference of opinion on someone or something, you're now considered a "hater"?
I associate hating a person with wanting them dead. Don't think I've ever hated anyone, although I've disliked a few. And I do hate Lima beans. Too much effort to hate someone.

Now I have a good excuse never to camp there.

Two acres for a dog park is a lot of area if you're trying to maximize profit. Now with so many jurisdictions requiring buffers, open space easements, and wetland delineations, a dog park is a good way to go.

Fun post...:)
But, we have found that many dogs (ours) have higher IQ's than their owners (us).

[Cloud_Dancer]

Yeah, it's on the owners! They should teach dogs how to use flushing toilets.

I'd say they are underestimating. I think 80% of dog owners "hate' non-owners.

Probably more accurate to say dog owner haters. It is the inconsiderate owners that create the problem, not the dogs.
