I haven't taken my new dog camping yet. Around here the lava is so sharp that she would need boots if she got off trail. Shes part pit bull so I'm not sure just how she would react to meeting people coming the other direction, but I know she hates horses. This girls camping is probably going to be limited to car camping (off road fer sure), so her trail time will be limited. Frankly I could have her off leash anywhere as she will come to me in an instant when I call her, even if she's about to chomp something.
