• Pet limits on pitches: Up to 2 pets per pitch (PPP breeds not allowed), always on a leash and not left unattended.

Etiquette and Safety Tips for Camping with Pets

Beyond the rules, a few best practices help your pet stay calm and your neighbors happy:

1. Keep the leash on, always. Even well-trained dogs can get excited by new sights, sounds, and scents.
2. Don’t leave pets unattended. New environments can trigger anxiety; supervision prevents barking, escapes, and mischief.
3. Hydration and shade. Offer water regularly and rest during the warmest hours. Use your terrace or shaded pitch areas.
4. Respect shared spaces. Stick to permitted areas and avoid restricted indoor facilities.
5. Clean up immediately. Always carry waste bags and dispose of them properly.
6. Settle your pet. Bring a familiar bed, mat, or crate to establish a calm, predictable rest spot.
7. Mind the power limits. Pitches provide 220V–5A; use low-consumption fans or cooling mats instead of high-draw appliances.
8. Check your gear. Collars, tags, and harnesses should fit securely; microchip details should be current.
