Tips and recommendations for camping with your dog on holiday
Planning a camping holiday with your dog can be exciting, but there are certainly more difficulties than when travelling without a pet.
Finding the perfect destination that welcomes both families and pets can be a challenge, but you need look no further than the Gold Coast. Enjoying the natural beauty of Tarragona from Sangulí Salou, renowned for its inclusive and pet-friendly environment, offers the ideal combination of fun and comfort for you and your dog.
In this article, we'll give you practical tips and recommendations to make your next camping trip with your dog a memorable and stress-free experience.
Preparations for camping with your dog
Going camping with your dog requires a little more preparation than a typical trip. Make sure you have everything you need to make your dog comfortable and enjoy the trip.
The first thing to consider is packing your dog's suitcase, including all the essentials such as food for the entire stay, water for the trip and serving bowls.
Although camping is an outdoor experience, you will always need to equip yourself with a bed or blanket so that your dog has a comfortable and familiar place to rest, as well as leashes of different lengths to give him more freedom in the permitted areas. If you go in a bungalow, in Sangulí Salou, the accommodations that are pet friendly already include a bed, a feeder and a drinking fountain for your pet.
Before setting off on your trip it is also essential to plan a visit to the vet to make sure your pet is up to date with all its vaccinations, medication, a first aid kit and all the official documentation (including vaccination certificates and passport if you are moving to another country).
Select the right campsite
Choosing a campsite with specific facilities for dogs will make your pet's stay as pleasant as yours. In this sense, Sangulí Salou is positioned as the destination par excellence for animal lovers who want to incorporate their pets in their holiday plans, providing from play areas to two refreshing swimming pools for dogs, divided by size, so that all furry ones can play freely and without worries. In addition, it has an agility circuit, a pipican area, a bathtub with hot water to bathe the furry ones and even a hairdryer! In addition, at Sangulí Salou dogs can accompany you to the restaurants and bars.
Whichever campsite you choose, you should always check the specific rules regarding pets, bearing in mind that they may include some restrictions, as well as rules about where they can be and when they must be tied up or unleashed.
It is also important to select your holiday location carefully so that you have easy access to emergency veterinary services, at Sangulí there is an agreement with two veterinary clinics where you will also get a discount for staying at the campsite for both the vet and grooming.
It is also important to ensure that you have easy access to nature, hiking trails and natural environments that allow you to walk with your dog comfortably.
For example, an excellent option in the Salou area for dog walkers is the Ruta del Camino de Ronda, which offers well-maintained trails and spectacular views of the Mediterranean. This route runs along the Costa Dorada and is suitable for all types of hikers, including those accompanied by pets.
In addition, Platja de Ponent, located just a few minutes from Sangulí Salou, has a specific area where dogs are welcome. Here, your pet will be able to run freely on the sand and enjoy the waves, guaranteeing you a day full of fun and relaxation.
If you want to enjoy other beaches with a dog area, you can also find Platja d'Alforja in Cambrils or Punta del Riu in Mont Roig, which gives you the possibility of organising excursions to nearby places where you know you won't have any inconvenience when taking your dog.
Camping behaviour and safety tips
Maintaining appropriate behaviour and following specific safety rules are essential to ensure that both you and your dog enjoy a smooth and pleasant stay. It is crucial to respect the space and tranquillity of other campers, always keeping your dog under control, avoiding barking at times when it may disturb the peace of the campsite and respecting areas where a lead is required, ensuring the safety and tranquillity of all campers.
By respecting these practices, you not only protect people and pets within the campsite, but you also contribute to a harmonious environment that everyone can enjoy.
Sangulí Salou is not only an exceptional destination for you and your family, but also a paradise for your dog. The campsite offers a perfect combination of facilities and activities to ensure that everyone, including your four-legged friends, has an unforgettable experience. From hiking trails on the stunning Costa Dorada to play areas designed specifically for pets to enjoy, Sangulí Salou strives to make every aspect of your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
We invite you to experience a holiday that is as relaxing as it is exciting, safe in the knowledge that your dog will be as welcome and cared for as any other member of the family.
