Dog-Friendly Campgrounds RVers Adore
Are you taking your dog along on your RV trips? You’re in good company. According to the RVIA, over 60% of RVers plan to include at least one dog during their travels. This trend has led to an increasing demand for campgrounds that are friendly to dogs. Nowadays, dog tourism is thriving, prompting campgrounds to adapt by providing facilities such as dog parks, agility courses, bathing stations with dog shampoo and conditioner, doggie daycare, and other amenities designed to delight both dogs and their owners. In this article, we highlight several spots that excel in catering to our canine companions and their owners.
