This is a lovely site. Very dog friendly with lots of walks straight off the site. Not a big site so wont be too many dogs. Stunning views all around for everyone due to the terracing, good facilities too. Well spaced pitches so your neighbours dogs, if the have any, wont be too close. You could try a windbreak between you and your neighbours if they have a dog. My dog is not very sociable when it comes to other dogs, he was attacked and badly mauled and bitten when he was younger but he is very well behaved on a camp site. He loves to sit outside our tent and watch the world go by. The majority of campers obay the rules and keep their dogs tethered or on a lead. Only once have we been bothered by an untethered dog and that turned out to be the site owners!!! You can only take them and see how they get on. Try a short weekend to start. They may surprise you. Alfie certainly surprised use. Hes a bit vocal and has the usual terrier stubborn streak, only does what we want when he wants to sort of thing, but he loves camping so much and when he is on site you would think he was up for the best dog award. Pick a small quiet site like Howgill and give them a go. They will just love you for it. Alfie goes bananas when he sees the camping gear coming out. Good luck with them.

WE caravan with two rescue dogs and they love it. they have their people with them all of the time and get lots of fuss and fish n chips.

they are not as territiorial with the caravan as they are at home and when we put them out on the stakes we do it on the side away for the busiest part of the site - making sure they have shade and sun of course.

we dont leave them in the van, which does limit where we can go as we cant go into a lot of places (eg museums etc) unless someone volunteers to sit outside!!

the only problem we had was one dog wouldnt eat the first night away, but she has settled and is fine now. we are going to have to make a ramp for our older one as she finds the caravan step hard.

we like to dog lots of walking - then they are tired out and sleep well - although they still want to get up before 7am!

have fun and relax - and they will too
