Most states have websites that list the regulations for their parks. To the best of my knowledge all of the state parks in NC, and SC allow pets on a leash. The other part of the regulation says they must not be left alone in the camp site. We saw the problems with this one at Kerr Resevoir. Someone left a dog tied up in the campsite while they were out on the lake fishing, for most of the day. The dog was miserable and barked and howled continously(sp). The rangers finally ran the people down and gave them their options, they left with and attitude. In most of the state parks in NC the rangers are trained law enforcement and do carry sidearms.
