Camping on the trail

I'm planning to ride from Machens to Clinton and back again in Mid June. I plan to tow my pup in a trialer. Do I need to make reservations for camping? I would rather see how far I get each day but worry about finding the campgrounds full. Also, will I be turned away because of the dog?

Carol, use the trip planner at the top of this page, that should help. I've seen people using kid haulers for their dog. Most have their dog inside on a leash. Missouri is a long way from Xenia, don't want the little fellow getting loose!

I would echo the previous post - you may want to pull up a list of campgrounds and call them in advance, just to be sure about the dog.

You're using a trailer, but this topic gives me an excuse to pull out some great photos that I came across several years ago of a rack-mounted dog carrier. The dog looks nervous but they said he loves it: dog carrier Hope you and your dog both have a great time on the trail.
