We usually take our 2, in fact we only did 1 trip last year without them and that was because we were taking our son to Go Ape in Bedgebury. Luckily we have older girls who we can leave them with if we have to.
Ours seem to really enjoy it, but can become territorial of our pitch. I don't always put up the windbreak because they get more spooked if someone pops round it then if they can see whats going on. They don't bark often, only if they see other dogs being walked past the pitch, and I'm hoping with it being their 2nd year this year, that they may be even better as they get more use to it.
We are going to a couple of sites for weekends this year where we have decided to leave them at home with our daughters because there is a lot of wildlife around the camp!! Both of our dogs have a strong prey drive so it wouldn't be a good mix. The site advises that if your dogs are unable to cope with all the wildlife on site it would be better to make alternative arrangements for them, and that's exactly what we have done, but we will miss them like mad!!!!!!!
Ours sleep in our bedroom pod with us, and they love it.
You can see a photo of them camping on my gallery page.

Hi Dawn,
I hope your trial camp goes well and the dogs enjoy it :-)
We have a 4 year old Jack Russell, Archie, who loves his camping holidays :-) Being a terrier, he is territorial, and barks at home at passers by but we have never really had an issue with this when we camp.
As someone else said, his dog tether is always packed where we can get at it as soon as we arrive on site - he is then quite happy to lie there watching us set up. He loves being outside, and loves the attention he always gets from passers by.
One of the main reasons we started camping was so that we could take Archie with us :-) He is always absolutely worn out at night which is great, ha ha!
We always keep him on a lead, and keep in mind that not everyone loves dogs, but for the most part he gets lots of fussing from fellow campers :-)
