The everyday harness most trail dogs end up in. Padded, easy to fit, with a leash clip on the back and one on the chest for dogs who pull.

Built for rough trail. The handle on the back lets you give your dog a boost over rocks and logs, and the fit stays put when they twist.

A lighter harness that still has a handle. A good middle ground for long days where every ounce counts.

Breathable mesh and a friendly price. A solid first harness while you figure out what your dog likes.

Folds flat, weighs next to nothing, and works for water on the trail and dinner at camp.

Insulated, so the water you left in the car is still cool when you reach the trailhead.

Keeps your dog's food sealed and dry in the car and keeps camp critters out of it. Comes with a scoop.

A line you string between two trees so your dog can move around camp while staying put. More freedom than a short tie-out.

Clips on the collar so you can spot your dog around camp after dark. Cheap peace of mind.

Live location on your phone and an alert if your dog leaves a zone you set. The lowest-cost way to start.

The tracker is built into the collar, so there's nothing extra to clip on or lose. Tough enough for trail dogs.

Works with no cell service at all. The collar talks straight to a handheld unit, which is why hunters and backcountry folks use it.

GPS tracking plus virtual fences you draw on your phone. Handy for big open campsites and home.

Keeps mud and wet dog off the back seat on the drive home. Easy to pull out and shake off.

Rent an RV or camper from a local owner. Many listings welcome pets, so filter for that before you fall in love with one.

Overnight RV stays at farms, wineries and other small spots. A fun break from crowded campgrounds on a long drive.

Search hotels, restaurants and spots that welcome dogs along your route. Great for the nights you're not camping.
