seen lots of people with their family pets camping, which I think is fab a roony... my greyhound adapts easily and is a lazy bugger so he is easy to take camping.. I am sure you will be fine and have lots of fantastic camping trips.

Lead and dog tether first things to pack!!! Bedding and food obviously....Longish walks once on site and you will probably find you tend towards doggy pastimes rather than sightseeing trips as there are so many rules and regs regarding where dogs are allowed these days...

You will have a fair idea by now of your pups temperament(Leaving aside the daft puppyness) And I would think as long as you stick to the routine already established you should be fine...

Great Ice breaker a pup on site....So be prepared for lots of chats on your walks....Oh...and be prepared to be pestered by young girls of any age who "Fall in Love " with him....and simply MUST take him for a walk/play(You know the ones I mean...

) Not saying it will happen but be prepared if it does...I was plagued constantly when my springer was a pup???

Be prepared for doggy "accidents" around the site and pick up and bin...as I am sure you do already...

Other than that....Have a great time with your new pal...If nothing else it gives him something new to get used to and will help in the socializing of the dog with people and other dogs outwith his usual environment!!!

Jelboy.

We take our chap (Westie) with us, he's not a natural camper as he likes his sofa to nap on. Last time I took a chair especially for him to chill out on.

Windbreaker is handy if he barks at the sight of other dogs.

We took our rescue Border for the 1st time this weekend. She doesn't bark at home except at dogs on tv!
When we were out and about I went inside and asked if dogs were welcome, for cafés, pubs and even the odd tourist attraction. Found more places welcome dogs than expected.
I took her own bed, but she ended up on ours as it was cold and she snuggled in. Kept her tethered on a lead at all times unless we had inner doors closed at night as she is a runner!
Most of all relax, your pup will too and enjoy your camp.

We always check out this website before we go, or while we're there if we've got wifi. Nice to find somewhere you can go for a meal or drink and your pup can go with you.

Doggie Pubs

We take a windbreak with us in case we are pitched somewhere where people pass alot as Bailey does have a tendency to like to say hello and as a labrador has quite a large bark.

Plenty of walks, take some of his/her toys from home and basically just enjoy yourselves as I'm sure your doggie will and don't forget the poo bags lol.

Have a great time!
