Top Pet Friendly Parks Chosen by the Good Sam RV Travel Guide and Campground Directory

An estimated 60 percent of RVers bring their pets along with them on their travel adventures, according to recent studies. And when it comes to selecting a campground, these travelers seek out RV parks that offer a wide range of pet-friendly amenities, from dog runs to trails for dog walking to flexible rules that allow their particular breed of dog.

To help pet owners find the RV parks that open their arms to canines and other travel companions, the editors and consultants of the Good Sam RV Travel guide and Campground Directory have compiled a list of the Top Pet Friendly Parks of 2013. Featuring RV parks from across North America, the list is tailored for RV travelers seeking facilities that welcome pet owners with open arms.

“Dog owners appreciate when you provide facilities for their animals,” says Todd Denius, owner of Royal View at Royal Gorge Campground in Colorado. “For many people, pets are like their children.”

The Good Sam RV Travel Guide’s Top Pet Friendly Parks are:

Good Life RV Resort, ^[3] Mesa, Arizona ^[4]
Sun Life RV Resort, ^[5] Mesa, Arizona
Sunflower RV Resort, ^[6] Surprise, Arizona
Circle RV Resort – Sunland, ^[7] El Cajon, California
Rio Bend RV & Golf Resort, ^[8] El Centro, California
Garden Of The Gods Campground, ^[9] Colorado Springs, Colorado
Royal View at Royal Gorge Campground, ^[10] Canon City, Colorado
Ocala Sun RV Resort, ^[11] Ocala, Florida
Deer Creek Valley RV Park Llc, ^[12] Topeka, Kansas
Evergreen Park R.V. Resort, ^[13] Mount Eaton, Ohio
Horn Rapids RV Resort, ^[14] Richland, Washington

Traveling With Fido

Travel blog Gradling.com reports that pet owners in the U.S. spend $47.4 billion on their pets this year. Among the pet owners who take their animals on the road, 78 percent bring their dogs, 15 percent travel with cats and the rest brings birds, reptiles or fish.

Many of the RV parks on the list set aside large areas where dogs can frolic after being cooped up in an RV for long periods of time. At Deer Creek Valley RV Park in Topeka, Kansas, a fenced in dog run enables canines to run around leash free.

The same goes for Royal View at Royal Gorge Campground, where a half-acre is set aside for pooches. “It lets dogs burn off some energy after a long day of traveling,” says owner Denius, who owns three dogs. The park also boasts three miles of trails suitable for dog walking, although a leash is required for dog walking on the trails.

Denius says that he requires pet owners to review the campground’s policy regarding pets before checking in. These include requirements to clean up after the animal and avoid leaving barking dogs inside vehicles for prolonged periods of time.

Garden Of The Gods Campground, Colorado Springs, Colorado, allows up to three dogs per site but bans pit bulls, Rottweilers and Dobermans.

Pet experts say that although traveling with pets can be fun and rewarding, RVers should consider a number of factors. Travelers should make sure their rig is large enough to accommodate an animal, and the pets should have up-to-date tags with contact information. Owners should always make sure their pet has the necessary immunization shots.

Good Sam RV Travel Guide

In the listings found in the 2013 Good Sam RV Travel Guide and Campground Directory, pet restrictions are indicated by breed (B), quantity (Q) or size (S). If pets are prohibited, “No Pets” will appear.

The guide contains detailed information more than 14,000 RV parks across North America; each campground is personally inspected and rated by the Good Sam’s consultant teams.
