it's only been brought up a little here


but two big questions every year are "Can I bring my kids" and "Can I bring my dog". Yes, kids and dogs love the Woodzie more than anybody and as long as you and they can handle it please bring them.

On kids and dogs: just realize that this isn't the park, it's a natural wild area that people only camp in once a year. It's what makes it great but you have to be on your toes. We do have a kid's area that we mow and have some toys laid out in. We check that for ant piles and make it as "city slicker" ready as we can. Of course the cool thing with your kidos is to take them walking in the woods and let them explore and just the whole camping experience but that area is a spot you can take them if you need it.

Don't bring your dog if you aren't completely certain that it won't bite Hippies, fight with other dogs, bark all day and night or run off. They catch a whiff of a deer scent and you can call your poodle all you want but he'll be solid gone. We've seen them come panting back after an hour covered in sweat and sticker burrs and in a state of complete nirvana. Like Jimmie says, do not forget to bring a leash, you may need it for a dog that usually doesn't. For instance, we ourselves don't bring our three German Shepherds. They don't meet any of those four points of the Woodzie code of dog behavior. No bite, fight, bark or lead a frantic chase. You will hear them in the distance inside the fence to our house... barking. Saying "We promise not to do what we did the last thousand times!"

You know your kids and your dogs, just keep the above in mind.
