RVing with Pets Blog | Abi Leads the Way

Meet Abi

"Woof! My name is Abigail, but you can call me Abi."

I'm a Black Lab with a serious travel habit. My human, Scott,
and I hit the road in 2024 and haven't really stopped
since. These days you'll find us in New Smyrna Beach, FL, testing out gear, hunting down the best
dog-friendly campgrounds, and figuring out RV life one mistake at a time so you
don't have to make the same ones.

Why Abi Leads the Way

We started this site because "there wasn't enough real advice on traveling with
a big dog in a small rig". Everything here — the blog posts, the gear picks, the
videos — comes from stuff we've actually used and campsites we've actually
stayed at. No filler, no gear we haven't tested on Abi herself.

How to Find Dog Friendly Campgrounds (Step-by-Step)

dog-friendly-rv-campground-abi.jpg Finding the right campground can make or break your trip when you’re traveling in an RV with a dog. On the surface, a lot of places say they’re “pet-friendly,” but that doesn’t always mean they’re set up in a way that actually works for you and your dog. We’ve learned this firsthand traveling with Abi. Some places look great online, but once you arrive, there’s nowhere to walk, strict rules you didn’t expect, or just not enough space. Taking
