Sian, the simple answer is ,,,,,,,,,because they can!
On a more serious note it could be argued that it covers the cost of bins for dog waste and the emptying of same.
Or, it could be a way of deterring dog owners from using that particular site.
The choice is yours.

i can understand the deterrent of dogs on the camp site but they should state no dogs allowed and we obviously would not go there
with regards to bin collections we pick up our dog mess and put it in the bins they provide and i have not come arcoss many dog bins it is usually put in the normal bins which they already have emptied anyway
hi because a lot of site owners will make money anyway they can as they also charge for awnings some do some dont i do agree that it should be min of 1 dog as have seen on some site 3 or 4 dogs and that is on ccc sites where you dont have to pay so they should be a rule 1 dog free others they should charge for
I have no idea, as most don't provide any facilities for dogs. I personally wouldn't stay on a site where I had to pay for the dog,having said that I have found that most sites that don;t charge have better facilities for the dog, we stayed on one in devon last year that had a brilliant dog exercise field totaly fenced in therfore safe, also had a grooming room complete with shower and dryer any one interested its ROSS PARK near Newton Abbot........Mark
Greed, comes to mind. They would charge you to breath if they thought they could get away with it.

If it is someone's private land then they can introduce whatever rules they like. It is your choice to use it or not. There may be obvious reasons such as farm animals in close proximity, or maybe they have had bad experiences in the past. Nobody likes to clear up someone else's crap. I now realise why the CC wardens wear big thick gloves when moving pitch markers. They know what has been sprayed all over them, but should they have to go to this length?
Also if dogs are to be allowed, then why not all pets? I am sure a pet crocodile would just love to meet the pooch next door!! Lunch time!!!
Anyone who has a toddler needs to be aware that allowing the child to crawl on the grass may not be as pleasant as they expect, especially if the previous occupants had a hound or 2.
Who has the priority? I do not know, but I work on the principle that everyone can do what they like..provided it does not impinge on someone else.

I'm not sure if the Scots know how to behave with dogs!
But if are dogs were to piddle in or around our caravan pitch or anyone elses they would be very unhappy! I would assume most other dog owners on sites would think and act the same.
Scotchlad and his fellow countrymen may feel its OK to leave there mark when caught short on site, most dog owners can take the P*** out of others as well I guess

Join the two clubs and get access to 350 club sites and 3500 5 van sites. All club sites don't charge for dogs and most 5 van sites don't. Vote with your wallet- don't use the dog chargers!
The only 'mark' we Scots usually leave is goodwill and friendship around the world. That is why the Tartan Army is welcomed everywhere.
Of course if we visit Wembly we usually take the pitch back home with us as a souvenir.Not much else to take is there?
Back to the subject of dogs. Having had a son bitten by a rabid dog, albeit in Africa, one tends to get slightly jaundiced in viewpoint. So I work on the principle that it keeps to its space, and I keep to mine. Everybody then happy. Enter my space and I feel nervous, and the last thing I can stand is someone shouting 'don't worry he is just being friendly' as it bounds up to you. I keep wondering 'are you 100% sure??'
A bit like being knocked down on a Zebra Crossing, you know you had the right of way, but it didn't work, so maybe avoidance would have been a better option.

Hi
Why? Couldnt tell you, but we have 2 dogs, some parks have very good dog walks, where there are bins, bags provided, some parks even have dog showers.
Some parks have absolutely brill, what gets up our nose is the charge and have nothing provided, we have never minded paying if you get value for money.

On most commercial sites we use we pay for the number of people as well as the pitch.
On the above premise I'd be fairly hacked off if I'd paid extra for, say 2 children, but the couple in the next caravan hadn't paid extra for 2 Labradors. They all have the ability to make just as much mess and noise.
We do have a dog (and a teenager) and I realy don't like paying more than a couple of quid per night for the dog, but then Gizmo the Yorky is only pocked sized and that works out at about

It's still cheaper to take your dog or dogs with you to a campsite. It's just rather annoying when some campsites charge nothing for the dog and others can charge up to
Hi folks.
The site we use regularly dont charge for dogs, however if we were on a site that did charge I would pay. As for charging for children, this is normally only for older kids (over 5 years)
By this rule I should only have to pay for one of our two dogs!!!
Past experience has shown us that we would rather be beside someone with dogs, rather than children. In 6 years of caravanning we have never been inconvenienced by other peoples dogs, but cant say the same about other peoples children!!!
As you will have guessed, we have dogs (2), which are well behaved and kept under control at all times while on site.
Cheers

A couple of years ago we went away to Devon with a friend, In our unit there was us two and a very friendly pooch in the other unit there was two adults and a child. We had a small camper and they had a huge tent. We paid more than them. No where for the dog to have a walk. As i had paid for her with no facilities i was seriously thinking of taking her for a dip in the pool for exercise. It is nothing but a rip off
