Who it is for
People planning a national park trip with a dog, especially a large one that runs into weight or breed rules.
Dog-friendly hotels near US national parks
Overview
Parks n Paws is a directory of dog-friendly hotels near American parkland, put together by Clement Desvignes. It covers more than 1,300 properties across 60 national parks along with 25 other well-known parks and monuments, and the listings are reviewed by hand rather than pulled in wholesale.
The detail is specific to travelling with a dog: the pet fee, any weight ceiling, breed restrictions, where the property sits, and which facilities dogs may use. Entries include drawbacks as well as advantages, and add local notes such as the nearest veterinary practice, places to eat with a dog in tow, and the season that suits a visit.

Pet policy details such as weight limits and breed restrictions are treated as primary listing data rather than a footnote.
Availability
Parks n Paws is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. Clement Desvignes has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Parks n Paws's public marketplace listing as it stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Clement Desvignes, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
