Dog Camping Gear That Actually Works | RV Life with Dogs

If you’ve ever camped with a Shiba… you already know—you’re not in control.

In this episode of Camping with the Innies, we’re breaking down the dog gear we actually use when camping with Monty and Gadget. No gimmicks, no overhyped products—just the gear that’s earned a permanent spot in our setup.

From containment systems to comfort setups, feeding gear, and safety essentials, we’re walking through what works, what doesn’t, and what we’ve stopped bringing altogether.

Whether you’re new to camping with dogs or looking to simplify your setup, this episode will help you focus on what actually matters.

🐾 What We Cover

• The 4 categories of dog camping gear (and how to think about what you bring)
• Why containment is the #1 priority—especially with dogs like Monty & Gadget
• The difference between a dog that settles at camp vs. one that doesn’t (comfort setup matters more than you think)
• Simple, effective feeding and water systems
• How to build a functional campsite setup for your dog
• Nighttime visibility and safety gear you shouldn’t skip
• The “nice-to-have” items that actually make camping more fun

🐕 Gear Categories We Break Down

Containment

• Keeping your dog secure at camp

Comfort

• Beds, blankets, and creating a “home base”

Logistics

• Food, water, bowls, and keeping things simple

Safety

• Visibility, environment awareness, and backup planning

🔥 Our Biggest Takeaway

Camping with dogs isn’t about bringing more gear—it’s about having the right system.

When your dog is:

• Secure
• Comfortable
• Fed and hydrated
• Safe

Everything else gets easier.
