big dog or small dog?
Have a long leash or rope - I made my own at home depot using plastic covered wire it worked well.
Hopefully your dog is kennel trained and you can keep in it. If your tent is big enough I would have it in with you so you can monitor it but if it isn't putting the dog in the car overnight works. Just make sure you take them out early in the morning.
Lots of chew toys and bones to keep them occupied while lounging in the campsite so it doesn't get distracted by neighboring kids and dogs
If there are other dogs let them play as much as possible during that day so that your dog is really tired in the evening. Makes for a better campfire when dogs are passed out and not trying to eat everyone's fire snacks
