Yes please - would love a sub section for pets on tour - always looking for recommendations for sites and as we are just about to start to take our 17year old cat any advice would be welcome.

It takes a pet owner to understand another pet owner.

Which site at Tiverton did you stay on and how good was it for the dogs??  Looking for somewhere in a couple of weeks.

Thanks

Liz

Hi Liz,

It's actually next Friday we head for Tiverton and it's an odd set-up; We normally share a self-catering cottage holiday with OH's family (16 of us, so huge cottages have to be found).  The venue this year is in Tiverton, but the owners house rules restrict the dogs to the kitchen only.  This isn't workable for us as they are used to being wherever we are indoors, so the owners are kindly allowing us to pitch the tent in the garden there where the dogs can be as close to us as they like!  Sorry it's not a proper campsite to recommend.  We will be on proper campsites for our next two trips, honest . 

Hope you find somewhere nice, Liz.

I am surprised no one has asked for a new section for "Camping with Children" after seeing this thread, as I believe if we have one for dog owners, then it makes sense to have one for those with children.

What about those with dogs AND children???!!!

We got our first dog, a rescued westie, and we couldnt wait to take him camping.  Unfortunately we discovered he gets travel sick!  Worst drive down to the New forest Ever!!

Couple of ideas: Take an extending lead and tent peg it to the ground to give him a bit more freedom on site.

Or half a dozen windbreaks round your tent to form a fence so he doesn,t have to be on the lead all the time.

Downside to taking dog you cant go visiting a lot of local attractions.

We are still taking him again.  We would go without him.
