Unfortunately, there are pitfalls to bringing a dog camping. For instance, you have to be sure that your dog is well-behaved and will not partake in excessive barking.
You do not want to be in the middle of of a campground and have your dog get loose or bark all night. That level of annoying is too much for your fellow outdoors people.
Make a few phone calls to find out the rules for the campground. Most places will be dog friendly but not every one is. It’s better to be safe than make the trip with your dog only to find out that he is not welcome.
