I don't know about camping in those places, as I live in Canada, but I camp with my dogs. I suggest you get a "bear bell" for your Newf. At least he will make a noise that any "critters" will recognize as not being natural and will help serve as a warning that he is around.
I put them on my dogs when we walk in the early AM and dusk. I think I'd be a little nervous too, but then I watch "Billy the Exterminator"!

I keep hearing about snakes, alligators and such that are pretty dangerous in the south. Since I don't have my T@B yet, I've just got a thin canvas between myself and nature.....

Also, is it possible to find campgrounds that are open this time of year in the south that will even allow tenters? As I've been driving down here (I'm staying with friends now), the signs I've seen for campgrounds have all had big "Closed" signs on them!
