I agree with Rockchucker--please don't ever leave your dog alone in camp! In addition to bears and cougars, coyotes (far more numerous) also love to chow down on small dogs.

There are doggie tents and various nylon "crates." Another reason for not leaving your dog alone in them is that if he panics, he can claw his way out--you're left with shredded tent and loose dog. You might be able to rig up a tethering option inside the "crate." The barrier of a nylon tent, whether a doggie tent or your own, is strictly psychological.

Do note that most motels/hotels specifically do not allow you to leave the dog alone in the room, even if securely crated (i.e. in a solid plastic or a wire mesh crate). I've done it a few times (along with a citronella collar to keep him from barking), but it certainly wasn't legal.
