I have to be honest, and I am a dog owner, I would not go to a site where they allow dogs near the pool..........Assistance dogs excepted of course.

But good luck with your search. 😀👍🐶

You'll be extremely lucky to find a campsite that allows dogs around a pool merely health and safety reasons. Put it this way, I wouldn't fancy walking round a swimming pool bare foot and stepping into left over dog poo on the floor surface. Even if you use a poop bag it doesn't leave the surface 100% clean so could be somewhat unhealth to say the least especially where children are concerned.

In UK, no. But my sister’s local pool in New Zealand has a “dogs & owners swimming together” day, before it closes for the annual maintenance. Great photos in the local paper.

Thanks for the responses. I do find it very strange that campsites don’t make allowances for families with dogs and the use of outdoor pools. Camping, kids and dogs all go hand in hand.

If I let my kids go to the pool unaccompanied I’m a bad parent. If I leave my dog alone in a caravan or tent I’m a bad dog owner.

We go to polmanter. They don’t allow dogs at the edge of the pool (I in no way expect that) but they have a large conservatory on the side that is dog friendly where I can watch my kids with the dog. They also have a low wall with picnic benches just outside the pool so I can watch my kids with my dog.

We also got to watermouth cove. They allow dogs in the large are designated for the pool and have a grassy area beyond the patio.

I would never allow my dog to go to the toilet in a play area of any kind.

I just wondered if there were any sites with similar provision for families with kids and dogs.

Sorry if anybody is offended

We went to Appuldurcombe Gardens camp site on the Isle of Wight a couple of years ago. It's a wonderful site and has a heated outdoor pool with a grassed area with picnic benches next to it where you can take dogs. It's a wonderful site with some great walks from the campsite - just a shame it takes a ferry to get you there!

OP, you didn't pose you question particularly well, it sounded like you wanted to take your hound to the edge of the pool, whereas what it seems from a later post is that you want to sit with your dog where you can see the pool and your children in it, different scenario. There are loads of sites like that. Just out of interest.... How do you stop your dog having a wee when it wants one as you suggest you can do?

If there are loads of sites grandad kenny, I’ve not come across them and a list is not forthcoming.

I actually posted my question somewhere else which must have more subscribers like me (family, children, dog) who understood my frustration at struggling to use a sites outdoor pool when you have kids and a dog. Im not in the minority. Many, if not most, families have kids and dogs when they camp / caravan.

I can’t stop my dog having a wee. What I said was I wouldn’t let my dog go to the toilet in a play area. I make sure my dog has done his business before we go anywhere like that. And walk him briefly somewhere appropriate for a wee before going in. Dogs don’t need to wee and poo every 5 minutes (maybe some do - mine doesn’t) and he certainly wouldn’t need to do anything whilst my kids swam for an hour if we made sure he’d had adequate opportunity beforehand. If he was ill, and therefor his toilet habits weren’t predictable, he wouldn’t be going anywhere.

As usual, responsible and considerate dog owners seem to get a bad press as a result of thoughtless and selfish dog owners who spoil it for the rest of us.

Mandsjh, I am a dog owner and she goes everywhere with us, and hey I'm not beefing with you, I have been on a whole host of sites where you can sit with your dog, usually with a beer and watch the kids in the pool, not necessarily within spitting distance. I'm on your side and there are loads of sites but they are not listed as such, I am on one now. Massively dog friendly, but you wouldn't know it unless you were here. BUT it's not what your original post said, agree?

From memory (though you'd need to check) West Fleet or is it East Fleet, it's the sister site of Sea Barn Farm in Dorset at Weymouth.

Family site with an outdoor pool, entertainment etc, where we were staying and prefer has less. Anyway i remember the pool had railings round it, so you could put dog on lead outside railings while you are inside railings with the pool. Other people happy, you happy, dog happy.

Small print...I would like to say it is possible that it is not a dog friendly site as we visited for 1 afternoon 5/6 years ago.
