At Meadowlark Shores RV Resort, we understand that pets are part of the family, and we welcome them with open arms. Our waterfront community is not only people-friendly but also pet-friendly, offering a relaxed and safe environment for you and your four-legged companions to enjoy. However, to maintain harmony among all guests and ensure cleanliness throughout the park, we have established a few simple but important pet rules that every guest must follow.

First and foremost, all pets must be kept on a leash when outside your RV, cabin, or designated site area. This rule is in place to protect both your pet and others around you. Even well-behaved dogs can become startled by new sights, sounds, or wildlife, so a leash ensures everyone’s safety. Retractable leashes are allowed but must not exceed six feet in length while walking through common areas.

Our resort requires that pet owners clean up after their animals immediately. To make this as easy as possible, we’ve placed conveniently located pet waste stations throughout the park, each equipped with waste bags and disposal bins. Guests are expected to use these stations every time they walk their pets, as cleanliness helps keep our grounds pleasant for everyone.

We know that exercise and fresh air are essential for pets, which is why Meadowlark Shores offers designated dog-walk areas along the outer edges of the park. These areas give your pets the freedom to stretch their legs and explore while staying away from high-traffic guest zones. They are also situated in scenic spots near the canal, allowing both owners and pets to enjoy the natural beauty of Florida’s Caloosahatchee River environment.

For the comfort of all guests, pets are not permitted inside resort buildings, including the clubhouse, bathhouses, pool area, or laundry facilities. Service animals, however, are always welcome in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Guests traveling with service animals should notify the office at check-in so staff can ensure proper accommodations and recordkeeping.

Aggressive or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Any pet that growls, lunges, or poses a safety concern may be asked to leave the property. Our goal is to foster a peaceful community where families, snowbirds, and seasonal guests alike can enjoy a relaxing stay without worry. We encourage owners to socialize their dogs responsibly and to be mindful of noise, especially barking, which can disturb neighbors in close quarters.

All pets must be up to date on vaccinations and in good health during their stay. For extended seasonal or annual guests, proof of vaccination may be requested. Keeping your pet healthy not only protects them but also helps prevent the spread of illnesses among other animals in the park.

For those staying long-term, Meadowlark Shores encourages creating a routine that includes morning and evening walks in the designated dog-walk zones. These paths are shaded by oak and palm trees, providing a comfortable environment during Florida’s warm weather. Many of our guests use these walkways as opportunities to meet fellow pet owners and build a sense of community within the resort.

If you plan to bring multiple pets, please contact the resort office in advance to confirm the number allowed per site. While Meadowlark Shores is happy to accommodate most guests, we do maintain a limit to prevent overcrowding and ensure a pleasant experience for all. Breed restrictions may apply at management’s discretion, primarily for insurance and safety reasons.

At Meadowlark Shores RV Resort, our pet policies are designed to balance freedom and responsibility. We love seeing happy pets exploring our grounds, relaxing by the water, and joining their owners for evening strolls. By following these simple rules and using the designated dog-walk areas, you’ll help keep our resort beautiful, safe, and welcoming for every camper — whether they have two legs or four.
