Not a big fan of "camp grounds" where you're stuck close to lots of other people and their dogs and where they have strict leash laws and all sorts of other regulations. Kinda takes all the fun out of primitive camping.
Same here. I've been dying to go camping this summer, but we're waiting until Godric has all of his shots, so we said we're going to go in a month! He'll be 17 weeks by then, a week after he gets his final set of shots and his rabies shot and whatnot. That's a bit late in the season for camping, but better than nothing! Last year, we didn't get to bring the doggies, and we didn't go camping at all the year before, so Vincent has never gone camping with us. Ivan loved it though.

I just worry about Giardia. Ivan got Giardia when we took him out camping when he was young. Is there any sort of vaccination or anything you can do to prevent that besides trying not to let them drink out of streams and stuff (impossible when they're walking through them!)?
