What to pack for glamping with your dog?

Your dog won't need anything special for glamping. Just pack as you would normally for an overnight with your pup. Don't forget a leash, poop bags for picking up waste, and your dog's bed, and food/water bowls, of course. If rain is in the forecast, pack an extra towel or two to wipe down your dog and his or her cute little paws so that you don't track mud inside your tent.

Is it safe to go glamping with a dog in Texas?

For the most part, it's as safe to go glamping with your dog as going to a park. You might encounter snakes, so be aware of those. It's best to keep your dog on a leash for that reason. Of course, if you plan to take your dog paddleboarding or kayaking with you, it's best to bring a life vest for your pup.

Dos and Don'ts of glamping with your dog

1. DO keep your dog on a leash outside of your tent.

2. DO pick up your dog's poop right away so that other guests don't step in it.

3. DO keep your dog off of the furniture inside your tent

4. DON'T let your dog bark at other guests. If your dog is the type to bark at strangers when it's on a leash, it's best to leave your dog at home. You'll be sharing the grilling area with other glamping guests.

5. DON'T leave your dog alone inside the glamping tent. Your dog might scratch at the door to get out and come find you, or it might scratch at the rugs or bedding without you there.

6. DON'T take your dog to the Balcones Canyonland National Wildlife Refuge, which is a popular spot for hiking. Because it's a wildlife refuge, dogs will leave a scent behind that disturbs the ecosystem, and so they aren't allowed in.
