the property was nice and i was thankful for a hot shower after many cold ones, being on the road.
upon arrival my doggo and the farm dog instantly hit it off, so i let them roam around together off leash. after reading the rules i believed this was okay because the rule says “pets kept on leash unless otherwise trained”. so in my brain, i read that as, if your doggo is not trained to come upon command they should be on a leash. my doggo is trained and came when i called him. even still, i was told by a worker that my dog needs to be kept on a leash at *all times* because they have a “strict rule” regarding that. i was confused because of the way their pet rule was written on hipcamp but i was told that in the past there have been dogs who’ve attacked their goats so they don’t allow any dogs off leash.
if your coming with a doggo i would keep this in mind lol. even though the rule states “..unless otherwise trained”, keep your pet on the leash *at all times*, regardless of what the clause states.
other than the pet thing confusing me, the camp was, indeed, 15 minutes from downtown chattanooga, close to ruby falls, and overlook mountain. the city was a beautiful place to explore!
have fun <3
