What recourse do campers have for people who refuse to put their dog on a leash? Three times in the past month we have camped there and other campers have their dog off leash, running into our campground and we have a small 15 lb dog. Each time we have to go talk to the campground host who goes and reminds them to have their dog on the leash. There needs to be STRONGER consequences before these people will abide by dog leash law. Sorry.....you all have a TOUGH job handling people who don't respect rules so that we can all share/enjoy nature.

We had a wonderful time at Baby Doe. The beach was a wonderful place to create, relax and soak up the gorgeous surroundings. Ms. Maura is a kind and knowledgeable host.
