I keep this blog to keep track of campgrounds we have stayed in, for our own future reference. Prior to 7/15/22, at the top of each entry is PFR. That was my Pet Friendliness Rating, of one to five *. Five being best. Now I only rate the campsite. We used to travel with 10 small dogs, but sadly, we have lost many of our elderly dogs, and are now down to just 1. So, the multiple dog friendliness is no longer important to us. Prior to 11/1/19, we traveled with 6 - 12 dogs.

McKinney COE, Acworth, Georgia
Campground ***
This is the first State Park we had encountered that had a pet limit. As we were checking in, the lady asked if we were traveling with a pet. I said "yes", and she wrote down 1 dog. After we got to our site, I found on the list of rules we were given that they had a 2 pet limit, with NO exceptions. They did allow pens, so we set one up and just let 2 dogs out at a time. It was a nice wide, level site though. :)
Length of stay - 1 night
Harvest Moon Campground, Adairsville, Georgia
Campground ***
The web site and info given to us at check-in only listed general pet rules. The lady that checked us in, also did not mention any additional rules. After getting set up and putting dogs out, a man came up and told us we had too many dogs, and that they did not allow xpens. Also, we were going to have to carry our dogs to the other side of the park to the pet walk area, as they were not to be allowed to potty on the grass at our site, which was very nice, wide, and ran the full length of our pull-thru site. So, we left. They did give us a refund.
Length of stay - 1 hour

Discovery Rally - This was a GREAT park!!! The spaces were HUGE!! Very long, extremely wide! Gravel pad, and thick grass. The dogs loved this campsite! They could really run and play. There were a lot of striped ground squirrels around, and a corn field across from us.

Cottonwoods RV Park, Columbia, Missouri
PFR ***
Campground ***
Nice, level gravel space. Pull thru with grass. Some shade. Spaces a little narrow, but were able to use several xpens. This is the one we had to wait for the previous person to vacate our spot, but decided to change to a different site, (2 down) before they left. The person who checked one of our friends in, asked how many dogs they had, but no one asked us. I called them and asked what their pet rules were, and they listed just the general. I asked if they had a limit on the number, and they said no, so we let everyone out. No one said anything.
Length of stay - 1 night

We stayed at this campground again on 8/1/22
Nice, level, gravel pull thru that was plenty long enough for our coach and car, without needing to unhook. Tree in the way of rooftop satellite, but got all 3 with portable. This site was on the end, so had great grassy area on the patio side.

Branson KOA, Branson, Missouri
Campground ***
Blue Ridge mini rally - Nice campground. Our space was kind of short & narrow, especially for our xpens. Our site also had tons of little burrs that we had to comb out of our dog's coats every day. None of the other people had any trouble with them. They had a free pancake breakfast every morning.
Length of stay - 7 days

Tom Sawyer RV Park, West Memphis, Arkansas
Campground ****
This is a nice park, right on the Missisipppi River. VERY pet friendly. The owner even came by one night so she could meet our kids. Our site was right on the Mississippi River. Large, level, concrete pad, with grass next to it. But, the mosquitoes are terrible after dark.
Our third visit to this park was 5/23/16. We were in site #53 this time. It was an end space, and worked out very well. Plenty of grass.
Length of stay Sept 9, 2015 - 4 nights
Length of stay 5/23/16 - 1 night
