Camping Tebbets, Marthasville from Fayetteville, AR on 3/16/2023 7:43:22 AM:
I will be biking with a dog so mostly camping along the way. In Tebbets I am aware of of the Turner Katy Trail shelter but not sure if they are do friendly. If someone might know it would be appreciated. And I just learned of camping in Marthasville by the baseball diamonds. Anyone know the cost of camping there?
Thanks for any info!
Jeff

When I camped in Marthasville a few years ago it was $5. The first time I stayed in the Turner Shelter a young couple with a dog stayed there too and no one seemed to mind. It is unattended, so I think its just a question of minding your dog and being considerate of others who may be there.

My dog is very considerate of others and never asks anything of me that might seem rude or out of line to others. I trust his judgement and always mind my dog.

It would seem inconsiderate to expect others to obey him though. So I can see why when you were at the Shelter that with the couples dog there, no one seemed to mind.

Leave your dog at home. Nobody wants to meet your dog (no matter how great of a dog it might be).

Can I bring my cats? Why can't people leave their pets at home. They think the person with the biggest pet means the owner must have the biggest ??? We don't care about bigger, just ride alone. The dog probably won't know you are gone.

Bring your dog or your cat.

Ride your horse if you want.

Bring your kids and your spouse.

Come if you’re young or old.

Ride slow. Ride fast.

Gawk and block the trail.

Enjoy yourself while on the trail. That’s what it’s for.

If someone doesn’t like that you have a dog, cat, kid, etc with you, they need to realize that someone probably doesn’t like what they’re doing either.

I wouldn't mind sharing the lodging in Tebbets with somebody that had a dog, but I think it would kinda pushing it to just expect everybody that might be sleeping there to not mind. I don't have pet allergies, but a lot of people do. It's one big open room, so you'd effectively be preventing anybody with an allergy from being able to stay while you're there (and maybe even after you've left).
