I have not been camping with mine yet! Does yours stay in the tent with you or does he have his own? We have a Great Dane puppy as well..just trying to figure out how this would work best.

Mine stays in the tent with me...this is one of the only times I allow him not to have to sleep in his kennel. He loves to sleep in the middle of me and my husband on our air mattress on his back of course! :) We just got a new puppy and I told my husband we could have to get a new mattress because ours is not big enough for 2 adults and 2 dogs...he just rolled his eyes at me :)

We camp all around Michigan mostly in the State Parks. My favorite area is up in the Straits of Mackinaw. We spent 4th of July looking at the Mackinaw Bridge, Lake Huron, and 5 different towns fireworks! There is no camping on Mackinaw Island but it is an easy ride on a Ferry to lots of beautiful hiking trails and a fun place with bikes and horses and no cars. I also enjoy the west side of the state. There are many beautiful campgrounds on Lake Michigan. We don't really rough it because we camp in a trailer with a bathroom etc. The best thing for the corgis is lots of people that want to pet them! They are perfect traveling partners because they make people smile everywhere they go.

We have a pop up camper, and Rex loved the whole family sleeping in one space together--as a pack! For a couple days, he was really barky when other dogs walked by. But luckily he learned pretty quick from using the squirt bottle. We met a couple other corgis, which he surprisingly didn't bark at! He was very calm and friendly with them, I hope he will be this way at future Corgi meet-ups. 

 

We went to Burt Lake State Park in Indian River, MI. We had to put him in a day of daycare while we went rafting down the river. If anyone camps in that area, I highly reccommend Indian River Pet Resort. It was very clean and nice, and VERY reasonably priced. He got a nice indoor/outdoor run, for $18.
