If the surveys are true, then one Ohio RV park is playing the numbers in the right direction. A Renogy survey says almost 70% of RV owners travel with their pets, with 92% of them bringing dogs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If your pup travels with you and loves the water, look out for suspicious credit card charges. The first-ever full-scale RV dog water park is up and running. Internet-savvy pooches may not think twice about putting in a reservation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n RV dog water park is more than a splash pad<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The new dog-friendly zone isn\u2019t just a shallow splash pad. Jellystone Park Camp-Resort in Uniontown, Ohio, is not just barking up any old tree. It\u2019s packed with fun features tailored to canine campers: water-spraying fire hydrants, fountains that shoot out of giant tennis balls and dog bowls, plus an agility course and open space to run and play.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve never had anything like this before,\u201d said Trent Hershenson, marketing VP for Camp Jellystone, which runs more than 75 Jellystone Parks across the U.S. and Canada.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The idea came from the park\u2019s popular annual dog swim. It\u2019s one day each season when the pool closes to people and goes to the dogs. \u201cIt kept getting bigger every year,\u201d said activities director Maddie Hillyard. \u201cGuests kept telling us it was their favorite event, so we thought\u2014why not make something permanent for the dogs?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n While other Jellystone Parks offer pet-themed weekends and dog-friendly lodging, Uniontown\u2019s new dog water zone is the first of its kind. It\u2019s one more way Jellystone Parks are expanding what it means to camp with the whole family\u2014furry friends included.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n But what about the other RV pet travel group?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n By the way, that same Renogy survey tells another \u201ctail,\u201d if you will. RVers also seem to have a feline commitment. Of RVers who travel with pets, 14% take a cat along for the ride. An RV dog water park probably has little interest to Fluffy. Don\u2019t be surprised to see a petition circulating for RV parks with catnip filled bounce-houses.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
