Top Campsites For Dog’s in California, Pt. 2!

 

Are you and your pup dying to get out of town and enjoy some summer camping?

The weather is warm and the nights are perfect for cozying up around a fire pit with your beloved, four-legged fur ball. Going on a cruise or planning a trip overseas is great, but you will likely have to leave your canine family members at home.

Owning a class B motorhome or conversion van, on the other hand, is great for traveling with pets! Summer is ideal for a vacation in the great outdoors with your dog, and in California more places are becoming pet-friendly.

Check out these top-rated campsites that not only allow dogs, but ENCOURAGE them…

Psst! In case you missed it, check out Part 1 of this blog.
