While many national parks don’t allow dogs-unfortunately-you can find places that offer affordable boarding for your pet should you decide to visit one of the famous parks while on your road trip to these various destinations and cities. Don’t feel bad; your dog will be in great hands. With a little research, you can find a dog kennel where they will have some “much-needed” dog time while you explore the great outdoors.
When you come back from your adventures, go ahead and take them on one of their own in one of the state forests or city parks that allows them to run wild and free. Go ahead and bring your pet on your road trip in a campervan hire!
